Spotted:me being a :tool: of amateur proportions...

Couldn't work out all yesterday why the ride was only running .5 bar of boost.Though to myself:"meh;it's hot-the Power FC's just looking after my engine's best interests...it'll be all good when it's cooler".Then she wouldn't come to the party this eve' going to get fuel(SHOCK!HORROR!!Jayce drives GTR twice in one week!!!)...so,methinks :idea: -stop by "our" long suffering mechanic's shop(we should call it Garage Integra,maybe?Slight J'pnese flavour,dontcha think?)and bounce the problem off knowledgable ears.Low'n'behold,Sinista and her pilot are there: :thumbsup: -enough hardened Skyline people to sort this drama...A mere 20 seconds into Ed's diagnosis and... :Oops: me=prize idiot.Boost controllers wont work when they're TURNED OFF! :rant: And I didn't even notice all the pretty lights weren't there for the last 24 hours- :( .Ed and all assembled had the decency not to :flamer: me for my most basic of ****-ups.So,much boostage was had after that.I spotted a nice R33 GTS-T,white with big chromed rims near Ed's house-waved,got a shared wave back(I can only claim 50% of the wave-she was waving to Ed,too,y'see...).Then spotted a silver R33 GTS(T?) on the bridge into Queanbo'-got a :wavey: in return of my :wavey: .Crept home most of the way-but,now I have forced atmosphere again,and the road ahead was clear of debris and Police,I just had to:the new roundabout turing into Jerra?Lanyon Drive onto Thopmsitt?Yep: :Owned: it! Ahhhh...there's nothing like a GTR doin' it's thang! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

to sum it up for those who couldnt be bothered reading Jayces thesis, in matching length only to the UN's weapons inspectors report on their findings in iraq.

his boost controller was off, he thought the power fc was playing funny games, he's an idiot, saw a few people on the way home and took a round about quickly.

there much simpler, LMAO hahahaha, quite proud of myself actually.

Oh yeah...Spotted:Viper_r32 going COMPLETELY the wrong way 'round Jerrabomberra's main roundabout!As he struggled to avoid not one,but two head-ons with road-rule abiding citizens,his lack of directional skill was observed by a large portion of ACT's SAU crew waiting to head from the pub for Sunday's Cotter cruise...No harm was done ro anything except Paul's pride-his face matched his shirt(red....very,very red)once he stepped out of his ride.S'funny-everyone gave P. grief about the move in a lighthearted way afterwards,but it takes only one simpleton that can't figure out electronic gadgets to post about it!!And he probably thought he'd gotten away with it not getting posted until now,LOL!Ah,it's all in good fun,Viper_r32!Bet you never do it again - at least not with such a sympathetic audience in attendance!!

Oops: me=prize idiot.Boost controllers wont work when they're TURNED OFF! :D And I didn't even notice all the pretty lights weren't there for the last 24 hours- :) .

Jayce;

Incredible. I have never done anything like that. Not since probably last week some time anyway...

Maybe this problem is not isolated and in future we'll see a sticky on the Forced Induction Perf thread:

HELP PLEASE

Car won't move in any direction unless I'm on a hill...possible clutch/gbox issue? Has been an annoying and persistent problem for some time now. A mate went to Ed at Integra who suggested starting the engine and it went away after he tried that and my mate could control both the speed and direction of his car.

At least if your stereo stops working you'll know where to look.

Just disappointed you did such a good job of flaming yourself and left nothing for us...

Hey Scooby - Nice post - TWICE!!!!!! LMAO

 

Never done anything silly - yeah right!

OK make that 'nothing silly since 1.23 today'

Anyway my dear fellow, I have no idea what you are referring to. I count one post only and I do not believe that there are witnesses to the contrary.

    • 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.
