I wish it was, but checked that previously. By following the trail it could only be dripping down from the valve gasket (preferred) or coming from on top of the turbo. Only seems to leak after "proper' drive, not idling in driveway, so oil under pressure by the looks of it.

The oil line to the turbo could be split but I think you are right, the washers for the banjo may need to be replaced. :(

I may be driving up to Sydney this week, want me to fix it for you? Swap you for a cruise install. lol.

Took her out for the first half decent drive with it, to get acquainted and such.

Very happy with it. I did find it a big laggy for an NA so Im thinking Im going to have to put a kit in the gearbox.

The guy I got it of said it was a Four wheel, turns out its rear wheel.

Haha, I would be tempted to drive the 8hrs to Sydney if you were serious. But I know you have that cruise mostly sorted now, so I have nothing to trade (except some folding plastic).

bought some new upgrades over the weekend, dual stage turbosmart boost controller, cooling pro FMIC kit, 550cc bosch injectors, walbro gss342 pump.hopefully my r33 will sell pretty quick so i can buy a hypergear tr43, lowmount manifold, and nistune to get it all sorted before sau nationals this year :D

dirty great box of Greddy goodness arrived today: that would be my suction kit... :)

waiting on Z32 afms which are on their way, and Nismo engine mounts: excitement!

Oh, and PWR ended up being a lousy bunch of not very nice people: The best they offered was a brand new radiator to my previous spec (inbuilt fluid coolers, triple cross-flow, etc) at a discounted rate.

Given that I would only expect it to last 18-24 months, pretty sure I'll pass, and buy a Jap name-brand unit (thinking Blitz), and run external oil and trans coolers... More than mildly disappointed at the outcome, but what can you do?

I will NEVER recommend their product to anyone!

bought some yellow jacket coil packs off ebay the other day fitted them had a missing issue then upgraded spark plugs (which I should have done in the first place) and now she runs a million bucks :)

Cruising on the highway and noticed the car was surging, gf pointed out that the torque split gauge was nearly on 10

Looks like I'm up for new rear tyres to match the new fronts :-(

Hi guys! I'm new to this site. I've got myself a nice 260RS in 2010. Since then I've had HKS hard piping put in, 3" turbo back exhaust, Nismo clutch, rebuilt gearbox, spitfire coils and a haltech ecu installed and tuned. It came with Tien coilovers. Now I'm looking to do a single turbo conversion in a few months just to bring spool up a lil.

What did you decide on in the end?

Still haven't decided; tossing up a 2860RS or 2871 core.

Exhaust side of both is identical, but the compressor exducer dimensions are 11mm different, so I'm not 100% sure.

Also the 2871 has thee trim options, 48, 52 and 56. On my SR I've had both the 48 and 56. I noticed no difference in boost response but did notice the 56 had more power up high.

On my SR it was making 18psi by 3800rpm with .64 exh so we could assume the vq25 would deliver 18psi around 3000-3200? Check with brad what his response is like as he uses a 2871 on his M35 but I don't know what trim version. I'd assume 52 trim as this is the most common version being a hks gtrs spec.

If your after closer to factory response I'd go the 2860 wheel, I will when mine fails but hopefully a while away still.

    • 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
    • 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.
