Have you looked at the hi octane sumps? They look like a serious bit of kit and will be what I go for when I build my motor. Some nice internal gating/baffling too

+1 for high octaine sump!! and yeah, needs a bit of cut and wleding

as far as the tomei sump baffel goes i think its either place or screw fit

yeah thats a shame matty fire takes no prisoners or no prejudices

indeed steve, hardest luck story was from the first photo. The guy who lived there lost his first house in the "white flat" fire 2 years ago. his son built the house for him so he had somewhere to live, and he's copped it again. He said to one of the guys i was working with "they sell houseboats on the murray yeah? might be time for me to buy one of them!"

Whats that thingamajig?

-D

thats a "rural padmount" ground level transformer. only uses one phase from the 11kv system (the one cable coming into the "elbow" on the left). Produces 2 phases of 240v for consumer supply. This one WAS feeding 4 houses, but only 2 were left that could be safely re-energised by generators. Note, that was closed during the fire and normal operation, so shows how much heat there would have been

Hope everyone has/or is having a good xmas,

Can anyone recommend a good place to get guards rolled? My tyres seem to like scraping the guards now...

I need some help. I think I've got an inlet leak.

If I rev the engine up and release the throttle , it stalls. But if I take it easy it's fine :P

I'm thinking it's the inlet manifold gasket ?

Any ideas on how to be sure ?

Lose the hektik flutter.... :D

Luke ENR34 is the man to see for guard rolling :D

any idea on prices?

only because i am too lazy to call them.

youre far too lazy for your own good jake.

About $90 a guard, give Luke a pm first mate

what you smoking james? i want some.

bleh, $90 a guard? jesus.

its only $40 a guard for ns members.

ill have to get my guards re-rolled for the cst's, might just get all type to do it.

I've heard someone say that 98 Octane fuels offered by the different petrol station brands are different in their makeup, and apparently BP ultimate is the better one to use. Is this true or a load of waffle? Does it really matter if someone uses V Power or BP Ultimate or Vortex 98?

    • 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.
