quoting from NS

Those attending from the south....

I have been asked to post a second gathering place, we will swing past the Southgate Plaza Sherriffs Road Morphett Vale and pick up anyone who has gathered there....if you wish to wait there PLEASE be there by 11.30am.

OLD Mark

Interior is schmick, getting up early tomorrow to head to the car wash.

Was filling up for tomorrow at BP brighton and a blue S15, that CA 180SX with 2 tone grey/black, and a silver RX7 FC showed up behind me.

Getting excited for this one, convinced my mate in a JZX100 to come.

Hope no one had big dramas with the cop's blitz.

I'm at home enjoying my pool and scotch. Might be out for a ride thru the hills later :P

Anyone who went to the cruise, let us know how it went. :banana:

the cruise was a good one with about 50 cars, the only cop issues we ran across was the accident blocking south road and the express way separated the group but the cops had there hands full prying apart a couple of Commys and a few other shit boxes. a tiny bit of rain then lots of sun on the way out

and the other minor problem was NO PARKING in Victor Harbor ? cause the market was on, but beside that it was a great turnout with some new faces would have been nice to get all the cars in a line up for photos in victor, oh well next time

thanks for a good cruise, look forward to the next one.

cheers

NO BLITZ YEAH!!!

Hi Guys - -

ive uploaded some photos below from the cruise today - i have millions, but these are a few of the good ones.

MASSIVE THANKS to Bec & Lindo for the organisation & invitation :banana::P ....it was a great drive on some seriously fun roads.

Special thanks also the (Boobvia) Bec for the collection & the pressie (silly lady it was not necessary) also to Michael Coppla for the photo shoot prize & to MR Nick from Smooth Garage for his kind donation.

Finally from the depth of our hearts a sincere thanks to all the SAU members who attended & those who also donated $323.20 ... today meant the world to us. It is a pleasure to be "the OLDS".....remember, if you can't find someone to talk to...you can always talk to us !!!

OLD Jules & Mark

PS ...hope to see you all again on the 1st Feb 2009

Edited by mark03

was good to catch up with a whole heap of people at the meet point....spewin i couldnt go on the cruise but ill defintley be going on the BSM cruise next year without a doubt!!!!!!!!!!

well done to everyone who donated to a cause that is in need of every bit of support!!!!!!!!

Sorry I couldn't make it out, the slave cylinder gave up on the GTR which means I have no clutch lol. Glad to hear you had no cop trouble... they're doing a huge blitz at the moment. There's massive amount of cops on the streets these nights!!

I'll be out on the BSM cruise for sure, though!

Today was so fun and a damn good experience. Got to see some pretty mad cars and talk to a few people.

Went off well, small patches of rain on the way but mostly sunny, no caps. That car accident was the worst bit, split us all up which resulted in my and Mark (blue S15) cruising for the majority of the way to Victor, untill BAM white 32 GTR, Red S13, White S13, and a few others all of a sudden were tagging along.

Then spent about 15 minutes searching for a park :blush:

But had mad fun, the fluro tape was a great idea too.

Can't wait for the next one.

PS: Anyone got any photos of my car (full stock white 180SX with gay exhaust) or the ONE AND ONLY Chaser (Dark green with Volk SE37's just incase) please post them up, my mate and I would appreciate it.

Tom.

thomasino, i was in rbware the white gtr that caught up to you, man your car is like a boat in the rear end, and when you over took that mitsi 380 near a corner we thought oh no,! lol was a wickid cruise everyone! only shame was the crash and getting split up from people!

oh, you were in rbware? i was sitting behind you for a fair chunk of the run in.... until i was overtaken at a buck and change by the dude in the auto 13... in a 2 car gap.

    • 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.
