I see car's being impounded all the time, I love it. Sucks to be them, fu(king muppets. I reckon they should start crushing the cars like the do in the states after 3 offences. I couldn't get over the amount of pure co(k smokers I saw on Today Tonight of whatever trash show it was saying "mate, street racing is fully sick, so I've had my car confiscated, it wont stop me.....uleh". Crush em I say!

The only place that crushes cars is California, what about all the other US states? The rest don't at the moment uleh.

I don't think crushing cars is a good idea, instead of confiscating the cars, why not confiscate the car and make sure they attend an advanced driving course or similar if they haven't done so already?

While they're there show them how things are done on the track, maybe we could get them from been idiots on the street.

Just saw an add for the "Hoon Hotline" on Channel 9, as part of a CrimeStoppers report.

Basically has a vid of some Holdens doing burnouts and an r33 flooring it, followed by 3-4 cars.

Encourages people to call the Hotline and dob in "hoons", also gives an explanation of the Hoon laws.

haha.

lmaOoo farkk i'd hate to be that guy when his parents find out :D but ouch...

someone upload the hoon hotline ad to youtube i wanna see it!

ooh not to discriminate or stereotype or anything..!

Just like that cop that pulled me over and said.. "its nothing personal, its just this type of car, all these young guys drive around here in these cars with their exhausts so big you can stick ya foot in it..." hrrm

I'd like to see an ad for hoons with one of those grannies that goes gutter surfing and bumper bar crunching.. wheeee

+ 1 for old people being the most dangerous people on the road. Nearly T boned like 4 of em in 1 car as they pulled into a street infront of me, but missed the road and hit the curb :S imo this hotline should be used to report trucks that like to drive within 30cm of other cars

i say someone should hold a HOON FESTIVAL! in a massive warehouse, then when all the HOONS turn up for some hooning! lock the doors an burn the warehouse

1. cars burnt

2. low cost

3. no more hooning

and still get to keep the money for there entry fee $ching ching$

ive got a quick story about this dob in a hoon crap, me and my mate were coming home and i was in his car we get home and his mum said the phone is for you its the police. they said that someone called them up about him sliding around corners and driving really fast which was rubbish i was in the car with him he didnt do any of that stuff. the cops then said to be careful and that they will be watching him. so it goes to show this dob in a hoon is crap he didnt do anything wrong someone out there thought it would be funny to dob him in. stupid sunbury people.

I'd imagine that this hoon hotline will be run like the litter one or EPA one. Ie the authorities need 3 independent reports of an offense before they can take action.

Not exactly sure what the police will do after that though because in order to be charged the offense has to be witnessed by an officer. Maybe just speak to the owner of the car in question?

Yeah, ive also had a mate about 4 years ago where police called his house because someone had reported his plates saying he was driving dangerously. Also, they said they would be "watching him".

Why is crushing the cars not a good idea? You can't tell me it's not going to stop hoons. I can't think of ANYTHING more effective, appart from removing a cars engine or cutting off thier go fast pedel foot. As if someone who's had a car crushed is goign to go and do the same thing again. I reckon it would be a pisser, they could setup a grand stand and put the hoon on a pedastool so we could watch the look of thier face wile munching popcorn. WINNAH! :D

ULEH!

    • 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
