shitty lil paseo painted bright orange, full bodykit and the stupidest lookin intercooler that was probly 30cm x 30cm and didnt evn fill the front bar....!? looked the size of an oil cooler

excel wit a hacked front bar to fit the massive intercooler... same thing on a mirage?!?!?!?!

a cool thingy though was a toyota Kluger wit a "freddy" sticker stuck abover the kluger badge..hehe crafty

got dragged of the line yesterday even by a toyota camry, 98 model, with a massive cannon exhaust, gauges, stickers, but maintaining the hub caps for that sleeper look.

I was winning till the end of second gear, when he overtook me, speeding away into the distance.

Unfortunately, I hadn't realised that we were racing, otherwise I would have taken off even slower.

saw a korean snot box thing today.. bad enough ehh.

total stocker.. plus the owner thought that the factory didn't fit anywhere enough guages..

as i passed it, i spotted a monster tacho and it had 4 freinds! All on the dash.

aaarrrghh glud they are too chaep to buy a skyline!

SPOTed toyota Kluger with RALLYART STICKERS ! @ gardencity last nite

Spotted that last week at Cannon Hill McDonalds and laughed to myself...

The owner didnt look like the type that would take pointing and laughing too well... :down:

Still it does not beat the VY SS ute with Nismo accross the back window I spotted down at Bundall Harvey Norman carpark on the gold coast...

spotted a black xr6 turbo ute at the lights at booval fair with gtr muncher sticker on the back. I have never really been one to take on someone at the lights but gave the gtst lets say a lot more than normal just to see the look on the "gtr Munchers" drivers face, it was gold. So now i might develop small mans syndrome and start hunting down GTRS cause i totally destroyed the GTR MUNCHER, LOL

When i was down in melbourne a few months ago, had a camry drive past me, with type-r and gtr badges on the back of it, as well as its sportivo badge and a trd sticker, and a skyline gt shield badge on the side by the indicators. tried to take a photo with my phone, but cause it was night, and nokia cameras are absolute rubbish, didn't turn out that well.

a brand spanking new Commordore with GTR badge on the rear !! ... i mean .. WTF .. Grand Touring Racer Commonwhore ? lol ..

Commodore..... GTR badge....

Ok guys who's missing their GTR badge? Looks like we found the bogan who took it :laugh:

While your removing that badge from the bogan.. cut up his licence and numberplates!

I saw an RB20e backed by auto today. ohh the saddest part.. it was in an R33 with a full GTR body kit and a FULL set of GTR badges.

The owner promptly told me how 'she flies' and 'smashes' clubsports! After I got revived by mechanic mate(cos i damn near died from laughing).. the mechanic suggested he go for a spin in mine. so.. after i hit boost and he SCREEEEAAAMS like a baby for his mama.. he asks 'whats that funny tornado sound?'

I was so ashamed for him.. perhaps he should buy a camry

Hmmm, I wonder if I could sell this person my blow off valve :cool: worth a try. "you get this fully sick tstsusususuusu, the chicks will be all over you"

I saw some idiot in a skyline who has cut a hole in the bonnet..

ohh, that was my car! lol

I saw a harley yesterday.. now, don't get me wrong, I'm NOT a harley fan.

But this bike was mint! It had all the bits.. but it looked really REALLY different. very slender tank.. Massive donk, the fattest rear tyre I'd ever seen on a bike and all beautifully clothed in silver paint. It was on a ute.. sure hope it doesn't go on the road. Stone chips would totally ruin it.

I actually looked for so long that I thought about turning around and chasing it to get an even better gawk!

I have also seen the Commodore with Nismo sticker! Made me look twice then i thought meh, he wants a Skyline, maybe he's slowly working up to one!

I've got a 75 ford transit van with a worked up 351 in it, body looks like shit but that just adds to the shock on ppls face, not long after i got the car had a couple of P platers in riced up rice burners thinkin they were hot shit ( can't remember what they were but all of them had the same car, gadges and boby kits on their tiny lil average 4 banger hatch backs) 1 of the knobs tries to drag me off while i have a car infront of me with now where to go. Got a finger gesture in my mirror when the third lane opened up and so did the clevo. My r34 gets left in the dust of this thing (but is cheaper to drive), what hope does a rice burner have!!!

i saw some sweet polynesians in south auckand driving a 1980 nissan bluebird with chrome towl rail on the boot, and front panel (under bumper)........front and rear spoiler! so sweet!

anyone here own a N14 Pulsar sedan ? grey in color ? .. also had SAU stickers on it .. TRD fuel cap sticker , Rallyart Neck Cushions. and a GT-R stciker on the side panels above the indicator ...i didnt take a pic of it thinking the owner might get pissed lol...

P.S this was in gardencity last nite Level 2 carpark..

    • 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.
    • @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
