I think I may be the only person who doesn't rate pancakes
i dont like em. lol unless they are the cafe primo ones lol

lol, only cause you haven't tried mine yet & washed them down with one of my famous lattes (with freshly ground arabica beans)!

Group Buy on my Buttermilks! :)

shit pete, sau breakfast at your place?

yeah no shyt.... that looks fooly sik uleh

maybe pete can run a charity pancake brekky for some special interest grp someday and it'll give us a good reason to get pregnant on pancakes and cream and farmers union iced coffee....

-D

Thought this might be more appropriate in the Wasteland,

Lock your doors and roller doors every night, and put the alarm on. Don't get lazy!!!!! Just got broken into last night, PS3 with games, Panasonic handycam and mobile phones all gone. Thank god the GTR was safe and tucked away.

Scary thing though, mum woke up and saw the bloke in our house, he looked at her and legged it. Mum woke me and my dad up and I burst out the house ran around the corner and chased the bastards as they drove off. How is that, while we were asleep?

Anyway, sorry to put a downer on everything, but don't get lazy guys. I think in these times this sort of stuff will be happening more as people get more desperate.

and Damo my R34 front lip goes into production in a few weeks , all CF and fully functional venting..?

be up for some orders after a checking the arc on another front bar? cost TBD but hell of a lot cheaper then Nengun and better venting.

hope to have it done for the show and shine

Extremely keen sir, you can sit it up against my nismo bar if you like.

Geez..Thats pretty scary ;) Glad your mum is ok and the guy legged it!!

So she didnt scream or anything?? Your Mums pretty tough :)

Sometimes the home owner can be more unpredictable than the intruder, think about it, home owner has the home court advantage, knowledge of rooms, weapons of choice, the intruder would be stupid to stay and challenge!

Sad to see stuff got stolen tho, hopefully insurance will replace!

I wish she did scream a would have been up quicker, oh well, it is just material things but it is the fact that we were all in the house at the time.

My brother said before he went back to bed was, "I hope the last hit of drugs kills them", I couldn't agree more!

sorry to hear that michael

dont you guys have zoned alarm for your house

i know that if someone accidentally walks into my house in the middle of the night

the alarm will go off in a sec like a house on fire lol

maybe have a look into that for the future mate

ADT do some good home monitored alarm systems

Some 10 years ago 4 theives broke into a house in St Agnes. Raided the living room and woke the home owner. Theives found some display swords and armed themselves. End result was 4 theives requiring paramedics.

The house they broke into was my old instructors home. The display swords were blunt, and sensei was a "little" more experienced than those stupid idiots. He was humble and we had to press him for the story. Sensei detailed to us how and what went down ... these idiots had no training whatsoever, but thought their "street fighting" would better a professionally trained instructor in his own home. ;) FAIL!

My house is a bit like Fort Knox now. Alarmed, hidden cameras, and I'm int he middle of installing a surveillance system which allows me to log onto a PC anywhere and visually see what is going on around my house. :)

Hmm, very interested in buying this ...

I love old school muscle cars. I've always wanted an SLR, but this is only a 253 (SLR lookalike). Its still very affordable. ;) Of course, it would be my little project. Fix it up and do it up as I drive it as my daily.

I haven't done a V8 project yet. Done everything else ... rotary, 4 na worked, 4 supercharged, 4 turboed, 6 turbo, 6 na worked. Had a V8 project when younger, but shed was broken into and car trashed before completion. I'd love to do this as my V8 project.

If I do get it, I may be inclined to sell my black Stagea. :laugh: The car is on gas too! Oh so tempting :)

    • 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.
