i dont pay a cent as its at my mates winery.

giant air con shed, got cctv and chub protection on it so i dont see it doing anywhere lol

i think though when i called up asking about it, it was around 80-100ish a month?

awesome luke

Ive got my shipping docket, 2may the boat comes in from japan with my wheels, cage, chair, brace, electronics & camshafts.

Tomorrow I should receive my hks 87mm pistons, h-beam rods, ati balancer, hks step-2 cam springs, hks oil pump, greddy cam cover, apexi multichecker & acl bearings

How much should I budget for to remove an engine from the r32, remove engine from stagea, install rb26 into stagea?

Doubt my knees / mobility would allow me to D.I.Y.

Getting a engine out isnt really to hard, I had already taken my gb out so it was a tag easier. Most places would charge around 800 i assume.

If the hoist was free i would remove it for 300.

Who u using to bring your parts over? as for a cage u need a container for the main hoop.

i've already had a run in with them the day they moved in about me parking in front of my own place because they want to park there (wtf?!)

I woulda gone apeshit at them. friggin bogans reckon they can park anywhere they want

take pics yo

-D

Thankyou guys i told my landlord what you both said when he called back and he agreed.

so i called ETSA they came out and the big wire that goes from the stoby to the house was fried, he opened the box on the roof and said he needed to turn off the whole house straight away because the earth was burnt off and he put his tester thingy on and he said there is 180,000 volts and this is dangerous, so it was feeding that elctectricity to the whole house hence why the taps were alive and i got shocked.

After a few more hours my arm was still hurting and the ETSA man told me i need to go straight to hospital due to the fact that when most people get a shock like me they think they feel alright but you can die hours later due to your heart. He worked out by how many things were on in the house and and told me that aprox 63 volts shocked me.

So i went to the hospital had to have all these heart things on and had to be monitored for several hours, the Dr came and saw me and told me im very lucky my ECG was ok and there doesnt seem to be any signs of damage just some mussle spazams but ill be ok

basically the neutral acts as a return path, and because that was broken it returns through the other earthing system (which in older houses is the copper and galvanised pipes). 63 volts is one hell of a kick, there probably would have been a fair bit of current on that (ive had a couple of wallops in my time and its not fun). You're actually lucky that it didnt kill you, very lucky. it doesnt take much at all (not trying to scare ya but i play with it every day and its something i have learnt to respect, the fact it can bite hard if you dont treat it with care). You'll be fine by the sounds of it, will hurt for quie a few days

sounds like the age / condition of the service wire was the cause.......higher levels of salt and pollution quicken deterioration like that

so a note to anyone who gets a shock from a tap in the future, DONT HESITATE TO CALL STRAIGHT AWAY. it could save you

yeh, the gearboxes would need to be out as well. stagea box to get strengthened and the r32 manual to sell.

later down the track tho..... stagea can wait 'till the rb26 is out and built.

as for parts, I arranged thru ebay tbh, once I bought the halfcage for $200 I was told shipping was $300 for a pallet & a container space.

so to make it worth it I added in a bride seat and rail for $200, some electronics, grex n1 "street special" camshafts for $250, and some $40 mags

$40 ^

can add to it from some lengths Ive got out of the $5 rollcage

Tangles i'd suggest doing what Barty (Blue32) does when he takes the engine out of his car and that is take undo the bolts on the x member and lift the car over the engine. the advantage in doing it this way is that you can take the engine and the trans out and back in together. which is a huge advantage when putting it back in because those trans's are not the lightest in the world.

EDIT!!

But you weren't asking about taking it out yourself

yeh Id like to, all in good time.

it'd be good to DIY but Im not sure Id be able to, bodywise.....

what would happen is this:

r32 engine/trans out, seperate, sell trans, sell tein suspension, sell sedan shell, build up rb26, when ready build up stagea trans, then rb25 engine out / rb26 forgie in.

split rb25 engine out to maximise $ return. injectors, computers, ported head with cams, turbo, bottom end, mags etc.....

yeah matt i was told that im very lucky i didnt kill myself yesterday, and yes my arm hurts a bit still but its ok and thankyou for your help

i know its been asked thousand times b4, and i would search but net on the fone pisses me off too much :) so anyway, whats the procedure for registering an interstate car that is complied and ran out of rego recently....? Need n answer real soon (didnt get time to call regency today work was busy/flooded)...

help plz :)

$50 for 3-days gets you an unregistered vehicle permit, so can be driven.

would require an ID check, such as at the Lonsdale depot near the rspca, to confirm vin/engine #

they signoff on it, you then register and get plates

pretty easy painless process

Brendan, PM sent bud.

:)

lego land? what the? lol

its on Brandis Rd, lot 19. the block hasnt been divided yet, nor have the streets been put in,

so itll be a while before it even looks like theres gonna be houses on it, the lots only just started

selling.

looks like its gonna be a decent area, there definately throwing some cash at it.

yeah sounds cheap, but dont forget, we gotta do flooring to living areas, air cond, fencing, driveway

curtains etc etc,

and not to mention a years wait before we get the keys :)

you may or may not hear my car warming up every morning.. :)

    • 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.
