Hi All

Just keeping in touch after travelling for a while. Still got the R32 which is going well and the R30 is just about finished. A while ago I bought a VS Senator off the same chap I bought the R32 from. It has a Peter Brock 5.7l stroker and the Walkinshaw tuneable suspension. Kidding it doesn't have a big drink when pushed. Good tow car though. If anyone wants sheep skins seat covers there is a company called Mortels in Newcastle that make the best. Front seats about $800 which you have leave with them.

Went to Bathurst for the "Super Cars", off course along the Putty Road and pulled in behind a 455 (I think) Ferrari at Bulga. It then proceeded at the speed limit or less round all the twisty bits. Don't know how you could drive a car like that along that road without giving it a squirt.

How about visiting Newcastle sometime or a drive up the valley?

Actually....... Mine came with lambswool seat covers too!

I wonder if there is something in this?

Bob.

Are these front seat only? Can someone please post photos?

Has anyone taken the covers off and noticed any tags to identify the manufacturer? Nissan Australia would have outsourced it.

If anyone can identify the manufacturer please let me know as I am keen to get some made up, and they may still have the pattern. Lambswool on those contoured seats will save me from getting a sweaty back in the sun, and save my original seat covers.

Does anyone know if you can still buy the front lips? If so any ideas what they are worth. My driveway and garage has taken its toll on mine.

Yes....... Well you could about 6 months ago anyway.

Part Number - NI-96015-05U00

List price $480.52 + GST. When you order one, get on your hands and knees and beg for a discount.

If you beg hard enough you may get up to 20% off that.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Bob.

hey guys, have just had my car resprayed and ordered what i thought was the bonnet emblem from the Nissan Australia release PDF...

Part number is 62892-62C00 "Bonnet Badge - Nissan"

The part that has arrived has two pins in the back of it... am I right in assuming that I just snap off the two plastic pins? Or has anyone else an alternate part number?

cheers

Part number is 62892-62C00 "Bonnet Badge - Nissan"

According to the Nissan ADM Technical Specifications document that is the correct part number.

They may well of used that badge on another model that had holes.

Cheers,

Bob.

yes, we need to organise an ADM cruise...I will have my new digital SLR camera soon so I can practice taking some pics on the day!

Marko, pics to come... I went out last week for a drive to take some pics, but when I got to where I wanted to take pics I left my CF card in the reader. Fail.

Will probably head out this week again.

Hi guys,

My well used ADM (the old Linfox car) with 205k on the odo is currently going through with some "renovations" - mainly because parts are wearing out. I've just had a complete engine rebuild with new crank, pistons, turbos and clutch so that box is ticked - started off just wanting to do the clutch and timing belt....something about a looseish harmonic balancer from a previous owner.

Anyway the next items are the seats. The drivers side back rest bolster has worn through to the foam (just). Only option is replace or recover. All R32 GTR seats are getting old now and only the pristine cars will not need sorting out.

Any of you good people know what can be done to re-cover the seats?

I've spoken to an automotive upolsterer here in Brisbane who's told me the covers are glued onto the foam and it can't taken off without taking half the foam with it. His option was to put new covers over the existing - it makes sense but I don't know enough about it and it's not my preferred option.

Any feedback on other ideas or potential repairers (including interstate) will be much appreciated

John

Amayama has complete new seats ex-Japan. A snip at $3,650 each :/

http://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/bnr32/3884-rb26dtt/body/870/

There's not much to be saved by just buying the cushion assembly and back assembly - they're USD$1,650 each anyway:

Hi John,

You best bet is to try and track down a good passenger seat and get you trimmer to convert it to a driver's seat.

It's a bit of mucking around but can be done. My trimmer did it for my JDM.

Even if you could find a good drivers side seat, odds are they would have the passenger seat too so you would have to by the set.

There is no other option. Re trimming over the original will not look much chop. What he said is true, the material is vulcanised onto the foam.

Good luck......

Bob.

    • 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.
