but i don't know about this cruise because after being unemployed for a while my savings is kinda dropping! can't even afford insurance nomore so maybe i might sit this one out or just drop by the meet spot because it's around the corner!

I hear that! :)

I start a new job at the end of the month and I'll be cutting it extremely fine for cash by that time :)

Might come along to this one as it's a bit earlier, although if it's another city/bay/lofty thing I might not.

did you clean your window really good with metho or something cause mine havent fallen off

yeah i cleaned it! :) but then some letters were just half falling off! but they're not much anyway so i don't mind getting another one or two

good work Kellie, you gotta organise cruise like every weekends now, all the wayyyyy til end of June, that's when I get my car on the road :)

I do not want to rock up to the cruise with my sister's suzuki swift (temp car) to embarass myself =o='||

put your skirt away mate its not fetching

if people don't come onto the main drag of Anzac drifting in front of cops they don't hassle you and I'm not making a scenario up some dude on the cruise did that but luckily enough the police either didn't see or booked him around the corner but imo he deserved it

heh word, but can we pls avoid glenelg, hindley, any other place where theres a known bacon quotient ;\

few of us have had bad experiences there heh

anyhow, will be there with bells on, 7pm

-D

that's correct, I've been through defect stations with my old twin cannon exhaust that had no mufflers on it and hollow cat but my car isnt dumped so it doesn't stand out

we had no trouble at glenelg where we were or at the meet point

i really cant understand why ppl get so freaked out about cops seriously

i only used amway window cleaner to clean my glass and mine has been on for around a year

...need to grab a few more stickers because after a few days letters are starting to already fall off! :)

yeh was good especially the tunnels lol (hows ur ears??)

but yeh i wont be there as my car broken now, turns out it been running on 5 cylinders at idle and low revs and then all cylinders at higher revs. im confuzed??

but anyway was great cruz last week and should be just as good this week.

seriously why the hell do i bother :) dont post on my topic if your going to bag my cruise and for the record we didnt go in the city! or anzacs for that matter!

Some people just like to whinge Kell, regardless of facts. I thought your cruise was great ... although I skimped out at the Glenelg stop :D

I'll try to be there this Friday night. :)

hey it was a awesome turn out and was a great cruise....i had to leg it after the glenelg stop as it was getting late and i had a early start the next day.....sorry about that.....

hey kelly could you please send me your contact info please.....as i wont be out till a bit later in the night so might call you and see where the cruise is at.....

Kellie do you have a BeeR rev limiter :D ?

what do you mean? silly :P

and if it's ref to me being angry yes but it takes a while to hit my limiter but when i do look out i dont forget about things that are said :P ecpecialy when its :( out their mouth

hey kellie came to the last cruise but me and a mate left at the bay to much talking and not enough driving mind you would have been better is things moved abit quicker not saying i didnt enjoy it!!! :(

anyway if i can make it ill be there with bells on with some mates and there cars, always down for a cruise. but not a big fan of the bay or the city coz of the simple fact of cops but ill take the chance since i didnt hang around long last time and didnt really meet anyone!

Saw u guys leaving the bay last friday and im pretty sure it was ur car poppin flames at the lights :P (search bee*r rev limiter on youtube). so i asked do u have a bee*r unit or were u just hitting the normal limiter coz u were bored waiting 4 green :(

when we stopped at the bay we were chatting to mates on here and waiting for some others from here as well, some times its good stop to chat with ppl then you actually meet ppl that you type to on here.

from what i gather everyone had a good time and enjoyed the chatting and cruising see the thing is the cruise wasnt even half over when you left so had you stuck around there was plenty more driving and hills as well,

oh well maybe next time hun and if you want to go or see how long we will be befor we leave just come ask :(

    • 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.
