Wooo Hooo Just had confirmation my Coilovers have arrived today, just in time for my booking at Wheelworx tomorrow morning, will get some pics out at Mallala on saturday and post them up next week!!

pics at mallala or ban :P hahah congrats on the coil overs... the question is how low will deluxe go??? hahah

on a different note was tinkering around on my beast this arvo after tafe replacing all my tail lights in preparation for when im back on the road and decided to take my spoiler off just to see what it looked like.. i know its a personal thing but what do you guys think?? oh and last weekend i finally took my front bar off just to check a few things after car toys worked on it ages ago (oil cooler) man they did a shit job... i re bolted front bar and oil cooler properly and checked everything over

pics below. big oil cooler much? 1.75 inch core :D

That is the question i know!!

On your different note........ Im a big fan of NO rear boot spoiler, so I like it.... :P

As for Car toys, well personally i believe they are way over priced, so i havnt been in there for about 8 years, and as for getting work done by them, Pffft only rice mods or doof doof maybe!! :laughing-smiley-014:

i never like to bad mouth a company but i 100% agree with you.... i went their just after i bought my line.. and new nothing about workshops in adelaide.... could and should have bought it over the net cheap!! and installed it myself.... if ya can put an rb20det in a vl ya can install a cooler :D ( i found out the hard way and learnt a good lesson about saving money) as for where i do take my car for specialty stuff.. grayham west workshops... they go out of their way with the extras :)

and as for those coil overs... i want pics up when their fitted and im not doubting the fact that u will pick a good hight... remember there are lots of spoon drains in adelaide :)

LOL yeh there is alot of spoon drains, but sideways(not drift) over them works a treat!!

As for workshops, I took the Skyline to GWW when i first bought it, and your right they do anything for you, but then i found Boostworx and never looked back, but hey everyone can go where ever they want really, some people get better service at different places!!

nice, don't roll it down the wall at Mallala....

went into town town and saw a GT3 cup that did a couple of rolls down the wall, what a mess.

Nah Nah not hitting up the track in my whale, we got prac on with the IPRA car, and we've been asked to come out there for some footage for a advert, wont disclose who's advert yet tho!! and my mate is bringing his camera so i can get some decent pics!!

yeah ive heard that boost works are intense..just havnt needed anything serious done lately, recon ill try them out when i need to... from recolection u guys had a dyno day down there recently... couldnt come... no driver :P and as for the spoon drains sideways... yaaa when i do get the urge to go for a drive im in secluded back streets so i take it around the block just to keep the oil circulating g box and diff's and ive got one around the corner where front right and rear left wheels are off the ground gotta love stiff suspension and chassis... makes for careful driving :D

thanks heaps for voting for us guys, is much appreciated, we are slowly moving up, hopefully be on the top page soon :D

heres the link again, keep it fresh on each page :Phttp://realcars.zooweekly.com.au/ViewProfi...x?profileID=469

will hopefully have a couple more pics to go up in the next day or 2, no more girly ones though, unless people know how to make a file larger in kb size?

Right your off the team..... :laughing-smiley-014:

As for making a file size bigger, That can be done in photoshop quite easy, but the quality wont be much better, you cant add pixels to a image but you sure can take them out!! Just need to up the resolution of it!!

i think a little or no spoiler looks better bet ur counting the sleeps till u get that licence back

take my spoiler off just to see what it looked like.. i know its a personal thing but what do you guys think??

I personally love the look of a spoilerless 32 GTR. Mine comes off and on every now and then for something different. Just makes them look so much fatter!

yeah no spoiler looks stealth R32 wing isnt that good imo

ah spewn man any time your need a driver depending on where you live ill make my services available i could of easily found a mate to drive my car there to still get a run in :P

hell yeah rob... looking forward to that hills run with ya mate.. counting down the days gorge rd and chain of ponds.... i dont care if we putt along 10 kms under the speed limit.... it will be awesome! been working on it every weekend getting every small detail fixed or restored..... awaiting the inevitable return of liscence! e.g. even brought new air con ducts cos the old ones were a teency bit broke. new leather inside aswell.... omg im getting all amped up just thinking bout it :P

u doin well mate?

ahh thanks steve..... i dont need to tell u what happened on the sau photo shoot...... all i can say is my poor baby brass button clutch and auto driver = boo boo:(

what colour inside full trim or just bits mate im nackerd doing 60hr weeks for the past 2 months thought screw it gotta get out and drive a bit so i cant wait for the cruise gotta a few little goodies lined up for the beast which always helps when doing the long days u coming to the cruise with someone or what

Laura said you were getting your license back soon, how long till you're back on the roads?

    • 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.
