You need higher impedence..... Not independence. And if u make looms all day for a living....And you NEED a new loom...... Am I missing something here?

Beyond that, 1300 a week is 70k a year...id consider that a decent income!

I'm sure you will sort it out. Just do a detox month, no booze, you will save that easy..... If u drink like a real man, that is.......haha

then you simply need to budget your funds better !!!

I get by on 1200 a month.

I was gonna say! $70k p/a should be heaps of left over "change" for the car hehe.

Then again maybe u've got a huge mortgage or a wife with expensive taste...

or a gambling/drug/hooker addiction :pirate:

I get paid 1300 a week to do nothing. 90% of my day is sitting in a hilux seat strapped to a milk crate making looms. I have an indian slave that does all my extra stuff.

As for weekends, Saturday my wife plays soccer and Sunday is relaxing/cruise day. No one normally wants to use my skills on a weekend anyway. I could sell drugs but would prefer to stay on the right side of the law.

Yer my car us a neo, just a confirmation. I need high independence injectors, anyone got a product code for the type of plug is on. On second thoughts anyone got a spare injector loom? Just on a temp basis, until I put the plugs on my loom and install the new injectors.

Injectors online (AZNEW) in Melbourne will match the online price and they can supply plugs/pins for under $50. The 610's are high impedance but I think you may need an adapter on the top to suit your rail, and some new spacers. Look for the how to on installing aftermarket neo injectors.

so with the GT30/71X, external waste gate and E85 the only difference between ours is at about 150nm's and a much tidier line!....on ruffly the same boost that is!

yours was 18PSI mine was 16PSI!

Makes me happy....I should crack the 900nm's on 20PSI.....I hope!....on real fuel not that cheaters stuff! :P

and when I get my cheat bits....1000nm's!!!!

Mines bigger than yours Craig, just ask your missus...

Note the correction, 0.9 which means -10% correction, compared to none when yours was run up. :whistling:

wooooo

finally washed my car, its yellow again :D

you guys have it easy, i get paid about $300/week and i get by

i suppose thats what i get for going to uni, can't wait to graduate and be on $70k starting salary

oh, and if anyone needs it, i'll be able to FEA (finite element analysis) by the end of the semester pirate.gif

yer i know its weird, i do wiring all day everyday and am chasing a second injector loom, i would just prefer to swap plugs if i can get hold of one, if not il just make up a new loom or get adapters, the issue is i need to drive my car from here to where ever decides they want my money to get the nistune installed and tuned, in there car park i need to install the injectors and afm before they put it on the dyno. having all the bits just sitting waiting will just save my crimping new pins/plugs in the carpark on a hot motor. im actually putting a plug in my afm wiring in the next few days to make the afm swap quicker.

i am really bad with money and yes my wife is very expensive to keep around. between her constant baking and wanting more and more tattoos and wanting nice clothes, but what can i say i love her.

sorry for rambling, back to injector speak - is fg falcon the same impedance and size??? injectors online prices are really steep, direct from deatschwerks its $477 delivered for some 440cc injectors. so correct size and plugs.

So does your partner work? I took a job in eq doing it, best job ever but the pay isn't the best. Our household is on under 50k a year with mortgage payments a wife and 2 kids to feed. Not much spending going on with the stag at the moment unless it's maintanence.

Budgets do wonders :)

Car related stuff.. Why don't you make up a loom that can be removed and connected via one plug. I did this for my z32 afm, got two 6 pin plugs and wired them up so that I could unplug them both whenever I needed to without rewiring all the time.

Do you know anyone that has a spare ecu you can borrow??? Could always send yours in borrow another to drive around with then once the nistune comes back asked someone nice that has the software(me) to give you a map to put on the ecu for the injectors and afm that will at least get you to the tuners.

Yer my wife works, what it comes down to though is $600 mortgage, $200 car/motorbike, $150 fuel, $150 food then budget setout for rego/insurances/rates/elec/etc...

Yer that's what I'm doing with my afm, I think il stick with the deatschwerks injectors to save problems. Bit if you have the software it would be greatly appreciated if you could help out :D

just some new pics of the stag - have done a lot of work lately and really happy with the way it's looking now - very subtle, very clean, very classy. Don't know why i'm selling it - but just can't sit still when it comes to cars.

Still going to smack those numbers.....and you know why.....shit might even go to your cheater fuel....hey you recon juliars carbon tax will hit e85!

i'm the same, i've had the stagea for about 18 months now and i've always wanted one

but now i wan't something else

whats the spec on those wheels too? thats how i want wheels to sit on mine

Still going to smack those numbers.....and you know why.....shit might even go to your cheater fuel....hey you recon juliars carbon tax will hit e85!

I hope you do, it would be nice to have best figures from your setup for comparison.

It will piss me right off if the tax bumps up the price of e85, the carbon I burn is mainly from the atmosphere, captured in the wheat/sugar plant and the waste from their processing is converted into ethanol again. Other than the cost of producing it and transport it is carbon neutral. The government should be putting massive resources into all alternative fuels instead of money grabbing from all the newcomers to the game like ethanol, bio-diesel and CNG not pushing electric vehicles that cause more fossil fuel to be dug up. Hopefully the proposed 40 billion in grants will go someway to help but I doubt it will be spent wisely. (Bloody Insulation debacle and solar scheme/scam)

whats the spec on those wheels too? thats how i want wheels to sit on mine

19x9.5 +22 on the front

19x9.5 +7 on the rear (15mm bolt on's to counter the narrower manual cradle)

sit flush at both ends, gaurd roll on the rear, 235/35's, no scrub.

Got my first replacement fog light today, as a test. Gone with Narva Compac 100 spotlights: http://narva.com.au/products/detail/6/noheaders/1/?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=500&width=720&modal=true&parent=driving-fog-lamps-popup-layout

They have about 5-10mm gap around the entire light, but don't look bad in trial fits. Just have to work out exactly how I'm going to mount them, and how I'm going to fill the gap. Bumper might be a bit wobbly for mounting though...

Also ordering a HID conversion kit, should be awesome when I'm done. If I pull my finger out might be done in time for the cruise Sunday, at least the lights will be in even if the HID conversion isn't complete.

That's pretty good. Il get a price later to compare.

Yeah I thought so. Kit was $79, but figured I'd connect it to the factory wiring so didn't need the extra stuff. Dad has a trade account so just got him to get them.

HID kit is off ebay, hoping it turns up by the weekend.

    • 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.
