Don't know ........................... let me get them first, but there costing AU$450 + freight out of Japan.

Cheers, D

It would want to come with some very happy endings for that price!

I'd put my name up for a set if they were getting around

I have some bigger flares I bought from Japan for mine; this size

If anyone is interested, Id let them go at the right price.

They look like chopped 'Type-1' ZG flares to me...

(i.e as fitted to the HS30H 240ZG)

good luck with your overly priced bits of plastic Ghost

Dave,

I thought you were intelligent, but I guess you were standing behind the door when it was being handed out eh?

As I have said before, I need to get them before I can evaluate them, but I would assume they would be of some reasonable quality, because Jenesis doesn't sell junk. And to Birth, it wouldn't matter what they were made of, but there has to be something to make a mould from and not just be GP versions that need a lot of bog & putty to smooth them so they look the part and if they are so easy to copy, how come someone hasn't done it already.

Go for it, take your shots at anything I have put up, but just keep in mind Dave, your trying to sell a car that looks like it's $200.00 for $4000.00? PRESENTATION is just about EVERYTHING and you're presenting a sh!tbox and a POVERTY PACK at that.

Cheers, D

I'm sorry ghost, i didn't mean to offend and i do appreciate you concern when it come to the sale of my 'poverty' pack... i am glad your thoughts are with me and i hope not all your judgements are based on first sight..

best of luck mate and say hi to the misses.

Hi Ghostrider; I think you misunderstood me. What I was thinking is that if you bought the original units you could copy them yourself or pay someone like a fibreglass kit place to copy them for you. You could then go on to sell them for say half the price. Depending on what they cost to copy you could probably cover the cost of the initial purchase ($450-odd) and the cost of replicating them.

Come to think about it, if all four that you are buying are the same you could buy just one ($150'ish) and have thay one copied four times making it cheaper for you. Then any more that you have copied and sold would be profit.

I don't care about how much they are costing you etc. and hope that you don't get upset. I do reckon that this is a way to get you want you want for cheaper and make similar units available to others who think that what you are doing is flash (assuming that you don't mind other people having the same kit as you!)

Hi Ben

I think you'll find that copying one flare wouldn't do

Front and rear are different to suit the bodywork plus then possibly handed right and left.

Dennis provided he doesn't mind others having similar flares has the right to charge enough to cover his outlay and time IMHO.

Exactly the plan!

Gotta start somewhere & all the flares I have seen have been grafted to suit with buckets of bog. These should be a fit up thing I'm hoping? And the R30 has a squareish rear wheel arch as opposed to the Z types that are nearly round.

Cheers, D

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
