You're talking Pimp my ride style stuff huh?

Well, first I'd do a full restoration. My car is 17 years old and could use a full strip and shine.

Then, well, it's all about the wide bodykit with wider tyres. Upgrade engine, brakes, suspension, maybe a 1/2 cage.... but for the rice factor:

1) Suspension controller.

I just think it'd be awesome to be pulled over and have the cop bend down to measure the clearance, only for me to push a button and suddenly it's just that bit higher. Also, my driveway is downhill, so it can be a nerve testing experiance to pull in and hope you don't hear that screaching sound of the exhaust pipe on the cement (hasn't happened yet, but the old mans falcon does it every time. He no longer visits.)

2) Carbon fibre.

Add vents to the bonnet, or get a Cf bonnet, perhaps CF boot and spoiler lips.

3) paint.

If we're not talking price here, I'd go for a deep pearl, probably dark royal blue based with black and white highlights. Black for the lower half, white for the upper half. That way it'll reflect the light in interesting ways.

4) Vinyl.

Probably just some stripes. Nismo or mines style, or perhaps simple racing stripes.

5) interior.

Customise everything. New Dash that would hold all the fancy dephi gauges, discreet speakers, top of the line ICE.

Trim everything in leather, probably white black and blue.

6) make it personal

Finish with something that is all about me. maybe my name stitched into the chairs, some customised badges, or something similiar.

Well, that's my spiel. Now if only pimp my ride would come to victoria.... Although they'd probably be restricted to washing the car and buffing it shiny thanks to vic roads.

Not that i have a 32 GTR....

A full Veilside kit- Blue

2.8....no, an OS Giken 3 litre kit will be fine

2835Rs

Holinger sequential

TE37s.....NO CHROME

335mm tyres.

Street/track interior with NO leather.

600kw will work.

Ship it over to Japan and just do Wangan runs every night.

Very nice guys... keep it coming...

Well, as for me... I just got a full sunroof put in, new stereo system put in... and now... working on the leather trim...

Keep the ideas coming fellas.

Damn, guess the cash is an issue for you with your ideas - as certainly you do not lack creativity bro... well written and thought out... a real powerful street machine. respect to that. +1

Well of course, I'm not going to build that while I'm doing a postgrad course at uni and working nights at coles! But I've read up pretty well on the specs etc of the cars I want to emulate (in my dreams).

I'm not a "gunna" about it though, very unlikely it could ever happen.

If i had the cash, i would hiflow the turbo, buy a power fc, upgrade injectors, upgrade suspension gear.. upgrade my side mount to a fmic.. n get a tune, with set of cams.. n go all out on music system..

hate car being stock :kiss:

uni student with casual work= poor

sigh.. hmmm

chop the roof by an inch just to make it different from the 4 billion others driving around

complete respray in white with carbon fibre bonnet

veilside rear with nismo side skirts and GTR/400r whatever front

turbo with all the bits and peices cranking out around 3-400kw

20" chrome deep dish multispokes

sunroof

a 15 inch goliath in the boot with amp and simple cdmp3 deck, no dvd screens or anything fancy.

tan or black leather retrim.

some guages n computer shit on the dash

lowerd,ect

and one of those expensive nismo keys

fully sick

if i had unlim cash, i would buy Nissan and give free skyline parts to everyone :P

Then everyone can have a restored skyline haha

On the side id try and squeeze a W16 engine from the veyron into the R32 somehow and pass it onto nismo?

Z-Tuned W16 quad-turbo in a r32 :D

Then buy 1,000 r34 gtr's and give them to each import mechanic in australia/japan with a blank cheque. And have a massive competition on the best built R34 ;)

Then crush them all, melt em down and make one skyline out of it!!1 It will have the power of all skylines running through its metal!!11

if i had a little extra cash id buy a 2.8 stroker kit thank u nismo then use my turbo and everything on it and get around 400kw :P

then a fitzner dog box

then full gtr pannel kit

then full cage and another bride seat

then a full top secret kit

then ahh i can go on forever

Keep it as it is. Then pay nissan however much they want to get there best of the best to design and build my own custom designed skyline. simiular to the 34 shape i reckon but with the new 3.5 twin turbo!

If registration wasn't an issue and neither was money I'd have my way with the R30 4dr i have.

Stripped to rolling shell and bare metal respray with a custom kit $8K

half cage

Z32 4/2piston brakes all round with a five stud conversion and 17inch rims

camber and castor kits, sway bars, strut braces

RB26DETT with a single turbo conversion plus some other bolt on fruit

RB25 gear box built tough

then with the spare L20ET i would get my hands on a 240Z bomb out the L6 with;

a hybrid T3 forged pistons and metal head gasket

tubular exhaust manifold

intake ported and polished

larger injectors and management

stripped interior with a full cage

motorsport option 1 gear box or and RB one

and set the beast up for rally events

I Would Sell Mine.....Buy A Mines Tuned For Response R34 GTR, and a Tech Art 997 911 Turbo, and a Mclaren F1, and a Race Track and spend my days making all of them them run 25secs round Tsukaba in a time attack

  • 9 months later...

If cash wasnt an issue id have a pen and a notepad reading everyones ideas and writing down the ones ill get onto as soon as im finished writing. Id have to put my own idea in it also soo... maybe a money printing machine in the glove box... what the heck for when money isnt an issue? yeh ur right cos ther'd be a money printing machine in the glove box. wouldnt want to leave this baby parked unsupervised for long.

    • 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.
