here's some youtube ads of it, note the crazy drift angles of the mob 5 possible d1 champ coming at ya

was thinking friday the 20th of june with after cruise after posibly.

let me know if your keen or abuse me if its a bad idea. its a kids movie naturally but i reckon it should be interesting to see anyways. the special effects look crazy :( and that sounds like a turbo noise the kid makes in the add

mob 5??? isnt it mach 5??

and holy shit.. conveniently i get my liscenec back 8 days before this it will be my first sau event withought hire a driver :( im amped! man will this bring me back to my childhood and agros cartoon connection! awesome

sailormoon and ninja pizza cats woot woot

ninja pizza cats?? :P samurai pizza cats :P same thing i guess

neone remember techno man?? like jap cartoon mechognised bodysuits lotsa fighting and shit blowing up??

BAH IT WAS MY IDEAL LONG BEFORE ANY OF U PUPPIES

I DID THIS THIS WITH 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS :P

ps that speed racer looks shieeet!!

Erin I'm pretty sure people have been meeting up and cruising to drive-in's long before Fast and Furious came out :P

I'm watching the trailer now, doesn't really seem that interesting. I can also see quite a few of us nit-picking the movie about faults and things that aren't realistic with the cars :(

Im keen to go... I used to love the cartoon when I was a kid, looks like a good movie :P Its not supposed to be realistic either folks ;P (cars cant fly can they? hrmm)

-D

it was myyyy idea!! lol but gepps cross drive ins is abit bumpy low cars will definately scrape... i went to sus it out in my commy and it still scraped my front bar -,-" no good...

i get my car in there all the time no worries, i swing very wide and come in n out at 45 degrees, my cars like 2mm higher than my wallet (good for keeping money in there and dumped into repairs) at the front bar on flat ground. well say the front is 12mm-14mm off the ground. rest of the car is reasonably high though. also i make sure im last to leave, saves wasting petrol inline and makes sure i got plenty of room when leaving. also ill bring planks or bricks or something if it scares ya

i think my bro gets his in aswell which is lower ill chat to him and make sure he can and do some measurements for ya

mob 5??? isnt it mach 5??

and holy shit.. conveniently i get my liscenec back 8 days before this it will be my first sau event withought hire a driver :( im amped! man will this bring me back to my childhood and agros cartoon connection! awesome

i see we got 1 expert in the crowd :( agro :P cheese tv was where it was at.

it was a cartoon man was it ment to be realistic? i mean they were jumping over cars n such. matrix people made it so there could be 360 cam spins on the drifting ;) also think of it this way the kids there that are getting into cars will see yours there thus boosting your car value in say 10years time :D i know i decided on getting a skyline at around the 12years old mark. also a certain car jump in gone n 60seconds rings a bell. although everything else in that movie was reasonable, except the chopper chase outrunning. airport is more traditional way of losing a choper

and a big cheers to the people that mentioned techno man ive been looking for that cartoon a fair bit on the net but i forgot what it was called. that used to be my fav back in the day.

if you guys wanna organise another night for a diff movie feel free. good luck getting everyone to agree on a movie though :P batman isnt that far away could possibly be playing same night so could have a crack at that 1. i just thought a movie bout cars would be cool worse comes to worse just sit around and talk cars instead of watching it

I'll be on dayshift that week so i could just "chop chop chop chop chop chop" down there, and with a sixer of teds maybe........

Was a great cartoon back in the day, prob one of the best! Somethings telling me the Aristo will be the most comfy seat in the drivein!! Not too mention my electronic heater that doesn't need a car to be running for it to get warm, I can see a line up to come sit in the Aristo..... :)

hey man if you know where to donwload techno man from or where to get it let me know ive been on the hunt for techno man for years cant seem to find the episodes! best anime ever!

    • 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.
