spotted outside integra today a white 32 GTR with 2 flat tyres, lookin sad.

And also a white 33 GTR inside the workshop.

Is this normal for integra to leave jobs parked outside?

Bit dodgy isnt it?

The GTR is mine, and no they dont usually leave cars outside, mine shouldnt be there.

Driving down my street on Friday night following a ute carrying firewood, a log of wood fell off the ute and went straight under my car doing a fair bit of damage (most notably, the wheels will be thrown in the bin as theyre buckled to all hell and back).

As the car cant be towed up my driveway due to the angle, I got it towed to my mechanics, which is Integra and which is why it was outside.

So cram your dodgy comment where it fits without knowing the full story.

WTF! I dont give a flying F**K who owns that GTR or what the story behind it is.

Point is I think its dodgy that The GTR is sitting outside the workshop, exposed for all to see.

Sorry to hear about the damage to your car (very unfirtunate) but drop the attitude buddy, its just a freakin observation and I am free to express it as I choose.

You call a workshop that I obviously highly rate dodgy, because -I- made the choice to leave -my- car out the front.

You obviously dont realise comments like what you made on a forum can make or break a business. There was and is nothing dodgy about where the car is. There are no mechanics at Integra on the weekend, and I dropped it off well after hours on Friday night. What am I meant to do, bust in so I can put the car inside so people dont think its dodgy?

Integra do not leave cars outside, and if I hadve dropped it off during business hours, it wouldnt be outside. To add to that also, one of the mechanics heard the car was there, and went in -in their own free time- on the weekend to see if I had left the keys at the servo to move it inside.

So my comment still stands, get the full facts before you making comments calling a business dodgy on a forum, that could potentially cost them a shitload of work (especially when they didnt even know the car was there).

Damn! do you work for these guys or something?

Mate, anyone who drove past wouldve seen the GTR and thought the same thing.

You better put a big sign on ur car stating what really happened so people dont think bad things about your precious workshop.

All in all - Who Cares!!

heh, i drove past and thought, "oh no whats wrong this time?"

spotted an R31 two door, R33 4 door, an R34 coupe and my 32 at Domayne today

aah i had the weekend off so i hope you didn't come in looking for me!

31 2-door belongs to a guy i work with. he reads a bit on here, but not sure if hes a member. i'll try get him out on tues/fri if i can. love the 2door!!!

and 33 4-door? sure it wasn't a 32 4door? just cos another guy i work with has a 32 sedan.

kept an eye out for you/your car, maybe it was a 32 4 door, it was parked behind the 31, and silver i think?

I was wondering who was stairing at me and my car.......

Also, AMARU.......... I think it's great that you stick up for your FAV mechanic and there place of buisiness. I agree it can make or break a shop. Dont worry about small minded people leaving there un-wanted two bobs worth about your ride. It's your car, so you do as you please and can leave it where you please.

while we are on the topic of giving plugs to good mechanics I sill take my car to DYNAMIC TUNING AND SRVICE. DTS . Formaly MING automotive.. Glen and the other boys there are fantastic and really know there stuff.

Cheers.

Also spotted that blue R34GTR again. There starting to grow on me more the 34"s.

Are DTS in Belco now? I watched an awesome Dyno video that they produce for customers doing power runs. Very professional. Changing the name was wise, MING had a bad rep in my neck of the woods.

I think the comment about the GTR sitting outside Ed's was warranted. It was an accurate description of what he saw and I wouldve thought the same thing "Damn I hope that hasnt been left out all weekend" purely because I wouldnt want it getting broken in to or even worse taken!

A simple explanation probably wouldve been sufficient Nik. But yeah I'm all for defending your workshop! EDIT: Sorry forgot to ask, hows the ride? Is the truck company going to pay? That sucks! I had a number of huge pieces of MDF fly of a truck in front of me and go skyward! It was like a movie trying to dodge these huge deadly MDF boards! lol... Luckily I got away with it, sounds like you didnt have that much luck!

I havent seen anyone around in a while! Then again I havent been driving the Skyline so nobody wouldve seen me.

Busted wheels, possibly busted brake callipers (the drivers side front wheel hit the calliper its warped that bad), busted front bar, theres a gap between the bonnet and front drivers side quarter now, exhaust bent... thats what I can see. Its going up on the hoist today so undercarriage can be checked further to see what other damage is done.

Ute didnt stop, and if anyones seen those flatbed hilux utes, the number plates are mounted under the tray and are hard enough to see when their lights are working. What topped it off is the ute had no lights on so couldnt see the plate, and he kept driving without stopping. Filled out a police report, but *shrugs* at this stage looks like im going to be quite a few thousand out of pocket because some **** sucking knob jockey decided itd be smart to carry firewood on a flat bed tray with no sides... ****ing idiot.

    • 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.
    • @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
