NO NO, All Jap Day is where its at yo'

small car sunday turned into Auto salon. fail.

i love the selection process for AJD.

best part was my mates 32 being refused, was the best lol i ever had,he was cut deep.. lets see if you can

spot the fails, new game.

chromies and aftermarket front bumper, side skirts and rear pods...

while its not my personal style, I dont see the problem with it ? Unless they want to have a show for cars which arent show cars, in which case they should call it 'all boongers day'

Yer, its a mate and i shouldnt pay out his personal taste, but he honeslty could not understand

why he didnt get accepted. its clear they wanted JDM styles, and stuck to

it, which is why i think the show was successful :)

yer i know i had aussie made fail rims on my old yacht, but i like to learn the hard way.

and i did.

so you're saying a beat up pos 20 yr old gtr in stock trim and rims would get preference over a gourmet pimped out 33 with chromies and kit?

man. some people are picky. i dont understand that. if theyre that anal, I should enter my mums toyota seca. its japanese. its fwd. its stock. its 6 years old. f**k. why not eh? I'll have to remove all the shit in the back seat but hey, can I win a trophy?

Any pimped out car with gay body kit and chromies fails. I'd rather a factory bog stocker 32/33/34 than some pimped out ugly distastefully modded pos!

nothing wrong with aftermarket kit, but the wheels, whitewalls and the standard height (to an extent) would have ruled the car out. and it has nothing to do with show cars. whos to say that car is a show car and a mint condition S1 RX7 isnt. my silvia is a show car i guess and thats been accepted every year. its not so much cars have to be done JDM style, as theres a lot of stock clean jap cars there. they are just against distasteful mods.

i actually remember that aqua skyline at the kadina show last year, and i heard someone say hes hoping for the best jap award ppfffftttttt!!!!! haha hes seriously kidding himself and setting him self up for a major reality check. sorry if u guys are mates with him lol.

thats the way the show is run, and the main reason its so successful. if u dont like it, take it up with the AJD committee. this is one of the main reasons SCS failed over the years. no screening of cars and a lot of junk getting in.

Gotta say I agree with Dohmar here...

I can see these any day at Colonnades carpark....

they are just against distasteful mods. In whose opinion? Sounds like the door bitch at the night clubs.... and we all want to slap her.

the opinion of anyone with remote taste in modifying cars. white walls and chromies, umm someone tell the dude a skyline isnt a commo.. or is it.

u dont have to agree with anything ive said, but the vast majority of the SA car scene does, and hence the success of AJD. the only people kicking up a stink are the ones with distastefully modded cars who dont get accepted.

I agree with steveP. Some have this fked up idea that a car cannot be stock whatsoever, so in order to modify it they will distastefully mod with a cheap gay bodykit and chromies. Tasteful mods can be done and done reasonably cheaply, why there are some out there that deliberately choose the ugliest kits and wheels is beyond me. However I'm not arrogant enough to think that mine is the only opinion that counts or that my own car is even remotely hot.... so each to their own.

I've asked it before and will again.... why spend money on a car to make it look worse than a stocker?

    • 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.
