wait till you decide to take the starter motor out.......if it's anything like the BNR32 its a BITTTTCCCCCHHH!

surprising, when removing my gearbox i didn't have any problems with it, my mates r33 doesn't have one of the bolt in cause he had problems, I managed to get it off and on with no problems maybe 5 - 10 mins each way

flathead screwdriver smashed through the filter with a hammer. WIN

there is seriously not enough room to even try that, I had a cut down screw driver i Just couldnt get in

this is all you should need

1x 10mm socket

1x extension

1x rachet

1x oil filter socket

I should have put one of the K and N filters with the nut on the end!

Also couldn't do my diff oil, seems at night I didn't check which out of the 3 containers all 2.5 litres i picked up, I put the diff oil in the gearbox! hence why it was so smooth, gears change are beautiful, and car took a complete flogging from the weekend when I competed in the 2013 REJEX Rally which was great, down side is I need 4 new tyres :(

What about plasti-dip?

Finally finished off my trip strips

d3b0f40c-41e2-461b-88c0-28d61af95c96_zps

And fixed my boost gauge with teflon tape (no pics tho)

Might also fix the split cv boots soon, and give it a service with synx-6000 :D

Did the same thing to my body mould chrome strips a couple of months back, my car is white with black rims also.

The faux chrome in my body moulds has been patchy and rough since I bought the car.

I bodge jobbed the black out though, I have used insulation tape trimmed to fit as I wasnt sure if I would like it and wanted an easy undo.

Once the first bit of tape peels back at an edge I'll look into this plasti dip bandwagon.

Just resprayed my grille black again this week as stone chips were making the chrome poke back out...

Only chrome left now is the tail light in-fills but I think they can stay.

Ill get some photos when I get it out tomorrow.

Well im now the proud owner of an RS4 factory manual and very happy.

time to start the big clean up before i get down to making it how i like it.

better look after is as it has a confirmed 74000km on the clock and almost no mods appart from a dump back exhaust and cheap mags.

front needs some love, fading lights with condensation annoys the absolute hell out of me, almost as much as having a dirty windscreen.

got the elbow grease out and threw in some 6000k philips xennons. gonna start replacing everything with LEDs as per usual. love the led look.

still undecided as for what to do with the yellow foggies.....more pondering needed.

so much better looking when they're actually clear.

the wheels will go but the height is the propper issue. needs coilovers stat

the 34 is getting jealous

IMAG1592_20130803205827287_zps974c2b5d.j

the interior needs a damn good clean, got a good upholstery cleaner and tackeled the passenger seat, it is a real shame that people dont keep ontop of this shit. oh well. more elbow grease has been employed.

i think cars drive better when they're clean?

ok that was my weekend, gotta do soo much more.

thanks for listening

I feel your pain about the interior my 260rs was a kiddy car and had s#*t all through the back seat when I got it,gave it a good steem clean now looks new again. Wow good job on the head lights that's a huge diffrence! And last but not least nice ride

I finally figured out how to remove the cargo blind. Ph34r my detective skills.

Yes, I also found out where to store it under the boot floor. This car is brilliant.

I started installing my front mount yesterday. didnt have to cut the reo to much so im happy about that. its an r33 turn flow and nearly bolted straight up so was pretty easy

first spin i took it for i forgot to tighten one of the pipes so car kept stalling and limped it back home, works all good now just have to cut the front bar and splash trays to fit.

also looks like it has hit a tow ball or something. :O

My car has a similar problem (seats look like your driver side). Interested in what cleaner you used?

I've some cheaper generic fabric cleaners i've used for my couch by seem painful to work in and clean...

Hire a steam cleaner from woolworths.

Have done this every time I have bought a new (used) car. It will blow your mind how much dirt comes out of even a 3 year old car.

Eg. This was from a the seats of a 2009 model car. attachicon.gifImageUploadedByTapatalk1376287937.297508.jpg

+1 I even use the same Steam cleaner haha

Fitted a jjr front mount kit to the c34. Ended up cutting the end of tr rails rather then then reo. Really didn't want to do it but hey... Also had to remove the ac can as its massive! If I have problems I will get a slim fan to replace it.

Then fitted a stainless jj bell mouth dump pipe along with a high flow cat. Much less drone with the cat (gutted one before)

Next up is a muffler and 3inch for the test of the system to some twin pipes. Then nistune!

Agreed on woolworths cleaners. Did the same for my stag and the wife's 100. You also find many things under the carpet like $20 and a bottle of vodka haha

What would happen if I was to remove the dvd navi permanently from the circuit. Eg thinking of relocating headunit here.

and hand would pop out from behind the dash and bi*ch slap you!

    • 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
