I am organising a 4pm run up from my place in Port Melbourne.

I will see how much interest this gets but know of at least 3 people who are happy to come up who know where I live.

If you are interested in a 4pm departure from Port Melbourne which would equate to an approximately 4.30pm from Donnybrook Shell servo, let me know.

Details for a 4pm cruise up from the city

Shell Todd Rd, inbound

So far we have:

Khunjeng

Darren83

GTIRR

Me

If anyone wants to tag along from Donnybrook Shell, I estimate to be passing it no later than 4.45pm so suggestion would be for a 4.30pm meet time there for anyone else.

Anyone else interested, let me know. There will be other trips up but we fancy getting up there by 7pm ish.

Below are the details for the cruise up at 7.30pm on Friday night:

Straight up the Hume:

Where: Shell Roadhouse, Hume Hwy Donnybrook VIC 3064 (Melway 365 C5)

Meet Time: 7.30pm

Depart Time: 8:00pm

Tour Leader: to be advised

Below are the details for the cruise up Saturday morning back way:

Back/Fun Way: (Lilydale, Yarra Glen, Yea, Seymore, Shep)

Where: BP on way out of Lillydale, Cnr Maroondah Hwy & Nelson Rd (Melway 38 J3)

Meet Time: 5.00am

Depart Time: 5.15am

Tour Leader: Ferni - Purple 33 GTR

Will stop at Maccas in Shepparton for brekkie.

FYI the NSW crew will be leaving Sydney at 10am, so we should arrive around the same time as you guys :)

:(

We leave Melb about 4pm, not arrive in Shepp by 4pm. You should be in Shep by 4-5pm the latest, see you at 7-8pm :)

Wayne, you have already lost the race :)

After a little more rational thinking in the light of day, lets say the Todd Rd Services city bound (i.e NOT the one on the side before you hit the Westgate but the one you go into as soon as you come over the Westgate. There are several ways into it without going over the Westgate but it at least puts us at the bottom of the ramp up to the Tulla.

4pm for a 4.15 departure there :)

Done; Paul you'll be right with Craig?

Just phoned Dave, he is bringing the GTO as he hasn't driven it enough and wants to give it a good run; I reakon he wants to show off his 8hr detail :D (he's gonna slap me if he reads this).

So we'll meet you all at Donnybrook Shell at 4:30pm (ish)

I'll me in for this, i'll organise to get off work early an meet you all at Todd Rd (inbound) Shell Servo at 4pm. Much prefer the idea of getting up there a bit earlier!!

I'll have Kris (O-Y-K-B) in my car with me.

my cars back to being all white an has standard plates on it.....just so you recognise me :D

Yeah 4.15 is good. I finish 3.30 so I'll be near enough on time.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
