yeah ash is right, not long, just gotta do them 1 by 1 and make sure you park hard up against the person next to you

when i did those ones i think it took just over 30 minutes to get them all parked like that, not too bad, worth it

the locals get pretty confused when they see a big train like that

they were some great pics, nice one of my purple gtr, thanks:-)

was yours the 33 or the 32, either one i was in love with them both if any one deserves a :D its the GTR's mmmmmmmm

ALLURE GIRLS

Oh thanks, Wayne!

Cant belive I was following a skyline 4 dr exactly same as yours over the Westgate and flashing lights at him.

Dont know if he was more surprised than me when I realised it was not you, pulling alongside!

You must look for the ...

was yours the 33 or the 32, either one i was in love with them both if any one deserves a :D its the GTR's mmmmmmmm

mine was the r33, im in love with her as well,lol

I wasn't on this cruise but I was driving home from a weekend away with a two car convoy, heading back to melbourne approaching torquay we were overtaken by a white r33 series two with standard wheels, a black r33 series two with small mirrors, and last but not least A goldish coloured cefiro with worn suspension standard wheels and a cannon muffler.

I saw the most dangerous piece of driving I think i have ever seen.

The girl in the cefiro knows who she is, and is so lucky she didn't wipe out my friends S15, or an oncoming innocent family, after the smoke had settled I expected to see her wrapped around trees, she is a f@cking idiot and doesn't deserve her licence.

I am still in shock at the driving I witnessed.

Oh Dam i thought that was my 33 lol Great shots!

i'm still working on mine i took about 100 shots so i need to go through them all!!!

it was a shame to hear about the chick spining out but i heard she was driving like that most of the day, and those girls were pretty rude anyway lol!!!

we stayed back for abit and a few boys did a few little skids as they were leaving and the people in the hotels came out and yelled at us for it.... Very Funny stuff, you were all very very lucky because 10 min after you left the Highway patrol started to drive your way and pulled over a few people but no one from the cruise luckly!!

You sound like the kinda dickhead that gives enthusiasts a bad name.

Wish there was footage, i'd send it to the Police.

Word of warning. Talk about idiotic behaviour around here, and you wont be around long.

SAU has no time for muppets.

hi so this might be a kinda long post......

I own the ceffy, i drove it up to apollo bay but as i work night shift and oi was tired my friend drove it back. i was sleeping in the passanger seat most of the way back, and i am sorry to anyone who may have been around when the car locked up. i by far am obviously the most upset, it was my car and me in the passanger seat.. but i know that people can get overwhellemed on cruses and i know this made my friend learn that they arent toys. i just woke up b4 it happened and i agree with everyone that it was dumb driving and we did get off lightly but i have told her off and opened her to how dangerous it can be.

i didnt think we were rude but if i was im sorry about that as well. i had worked the night before and didnt mean to be unsociable. i must add though i saw a lot of people driving like crazy people when i was cruising on the way up there and they could have easily had accidents as well. i am just thankful no one got hurt. i have been to many skidpan and track days and fully support that stupid driving should be kept off the streets, i love crusing as well but keeping it safe is important.

i think it was a very good cruze though and had a great day. the wether was beutiful, cars were nice and drive was mostly good... :D well done to the club.. thanks.

Wicked day, best part of the day would have to be cheez passing the daewoo and giving him some of his own medicine.

The pace was good upfront, and was good to see how a stock 33 went.

I know a few people were gettin a little impatient with a certain group but was good to see everyone got a good run home. :D

Good to meet daniel, ashneel, brett and his gf plus the guy in the GTR who we saw on the way up.

Wish i could make it to the sorrento one.

Good pics everyone!

Bluey

Where do i send the bill for my busted ear drums :P

I wont even dignify such wild allegations with an answer! My car is quiet as a mouse on the road lol :D

FRTHN 4: In regards to what happened, I guess thats understandable if it wasnt you, but your friend is just a plain f**kwit. I was stuck behind a slower car who was obviously a less experienced, so I backed off and waited for the ideal opportunity to pass. She on the other hand, proceeded to drive mere metres from my rear bar through blind corners. I don't mean to have a go, but its just common sense. If you friend comes on anything else like that and acts the same way I'll throw on the anchors, get out and make sure that in the interest of my personal safety as well as that of other, she doesn't drive any further, she was the one gleaming low point of an otherwise extremely eventful day. Next time your tired, plese just have a power nap and keep driving for the benefit of all involved.

Wow... ...So many views of the vids... ...Thanks guys... :rofl: ...I might be able to squese out one or two more with what I have...

Also... ...does anyone have any photos of me???... ...I was blocking with Ashneel at the first stop... ...I've got a Decepticon sticker on the back of my Silver 33...

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • 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.
