hey jenkies, if youre needing a driver, i might be able to help ya out, i think the celsior might stick out just a little too much. :yes:

shoot us a pm if that aounds alright.

Lol im not sure yet, i have wednesday off so im sussing out a few places then. How far to the castle and what was the parking like?

my bro's car club hit the castle once before. parking is a plentyful but getting a shot with castle in the background with the entire club might be difficult. the parking area i remember ya cant really see the castle through their trees

observe the following pre cruize trial pics

note it looks like you could fit about 3 skylines infront or 5 swifts in the above case :(

also there's also a fancy fountain thing jus off the camera that we could probably surround aswell

but still sweet as spot all the same

I so would love to come for a cruise and meet up wid sau members would be awsum, but my cars pretty much naked my body kit and bonnets all in primer at da moment so im kinda embarresed to drive it around other nice painted Skylines lol...hopefully later this year theres another photo shot or cruise coming up then my car will be ready..love to c pics of all the local sau members skylines posted up hav a gd1 neway drive safe... :)

Ok im in the process of finalising this! Just would like some imput, Thinking castle is out, bit far and also not a huge area to use.

Do people want to do 1 spot or 2 locations? Ive got one set in mind, wouldnt mind suggestions though. Going to do a final run from the meet spot etc on saturday and take better notes.

i know this sounds very standard and cliche but a beach/ocean ?? just an idea always makes for a mad backdrop.

may i have a pm with meeting spot and time. i think scandyflick/ aka dave is bringing me down with the R should be a riot!

cheers

Some things to consider:

The forecast for sunday is 36 and hot. SO it will be very bright sunlight; is the photo op area shaded at all? Bright sunlight will case some pretty harsh shaddows, so if there is shade, it would be better.

If not, will the cars be able to be manouvered to be with the sun behind the photographer? less shaddows in the photo's then :thumbsup:

    • 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.
