i never said all NA people were ricers, but there are plenty of them. their posts generally run to the tune of..

"OMG i just a got a fully sick GTR bodykit and 3" exhaust for my NA skyline, and it's totally sick! on the way home i totally laughed at a ricer in a lancer with all the same mods as me but it's a totally different situation because he drivers a base model, non turbo lancer all kitted out and i drive base model, non turbo skyline that is all kitted out......."

We think too much alike Marc....STOP IT!

f*ck you guys are cool !!

whatt!!! Thats amazing!!

I'm with HBF Will have to call up and have a look if not maybe ill switch to Just Car .. HBF does us a better deal cos our house and all cars are insured with them though.

at the moment for an n/a skyline im paying 700 a year ... was quoted somewhere in the 3000's for a turbo car which is probably more than I make ... wacko.gif

If it doesnt cost me that much to insure it I'll definitely go for the RB25DE+T Conversion since I get to keep my current engine :)

Yeh I pay 900 a year full comp, all mods covered. Excess is high, but I wouldn't make a claim for small things anyway so it doesn't bug me in the slightest.

f*ck you guys are cool !!

Lol watch out, they will get you hook line and sinker man.

Oh wait... :laugh:

900 a years real good man, how old dya have to be before the turbo insurance stops being so freakin expensive?

Nothing to do with having a turbo. When I first got it, I was 18. Cost me ~$1300 a year from memory. Now I'm 20, so it comes down a fair bit every year. Value of the car has been increased a lot since I bought it as well, it's insured for 24k at the moment.

Its not about being cool, we both speaketh the truth in this section.

Which is, telling dickheads that their NA skyline is not the be all and end all of performance cars...infact its not even a performance car.

If I had a choice between an N/A skyline and a Civic, I would take the civic hands down, throw suspension and brakes at the thing and hose turbo skylines at the race track.

But then I use "performance" cars for their intended use, not to so my makes think its sounds cool in the maccas drive through.

thanks mate !!

i'd go magnaflow over lukey, lukey seems to be targetted more at commodores/falcons than imports.

on my old VS calais, it came with a full lukey exhaust (extractors too) had a nice note but was very quiet :S

LOL at this....its a f**king muffler.....they seem more targetted at quietning down exhaust systems if you ask me.

Unless you're one of those people that stick monster cannon mufflers on the end of your stock exhaust system to make the car louder unsure.gif

at any point has anyone in this thread tried to claim that their n/a skyline is the pinnacle of sports cars?

I sure as hell have not.

read through a fast fours magazine - any mention of lukey parts on feature cars or ads throughout? no.

street commodores , street machine etc on the other hand, yes.

that's what I meant by targetted.

that's really great that you would take a civic over an n/a skyline, how the shit is that relevant?

get off your high horse mate.

Omg bro, like fuller sik uleh!!! It sounds more like the commodore guys have all four a good product and use it yet you read fast fours and other junk and it's all "Chiba brand knock ff crap"... You know what it says to me!? NA skyline owners are cheap skates! dream boats...

Everybody calm down ...

I am quite sure everybody on this thread at least with an n/a accepts that our cars are rather slow, and that they are difficult to make any decent power out of.

There's nothing wrong with wanting/owning an n/a skyline, some of us like it because we just enjoy the car because of its history or designing or whatever, and cannot afford the turbo or the costs that may come with a turbo ..

the only time you guys have a justification of having a massive go at n/a skyline owners are when their di**s who hoon around on the streets and think their awesome. but then they deserve to have a go at even if they had a turbo skyline cos in the end of the day, their still a di** hooning around on the street.

If n/a skyline owners enjoy having a nice looking car with some good cosmetics and handling, then let them be ..

Seriously people grow up, no need to have a go at people for what they have or dont have

Couldn't agree more.

Not everyone is in it for the performance and not everyone cares if it takes 8 seconds to get to 100Km/h, because that extra 4-5 seconds is gonna kill me :rolleyes:

Take your hate on someone who doesn't respect the road rules or peoples lives, not someone who just wants a nice sounding exhaust OR a nice looking car.....

Also if we are driving N/A skylines on our L's/P's we're evidently not cheap skates....clearly the law is restricting us from driving turbos, after all you can pickup a Turbo R34 Skyline for about the same price as a N/A R34 Skyline.

I'm positive not many 17 y/o's have enough money for 1 let alone 2 R34's, so calling N/A Skyline owners cheap skates is just a stupid statement.

Cheap skates was because you see most jap imports with china knock off parts on them.

And check the other treads in this section, at least once a week someone starts a thread "omg I thought my car was going to be fast..."

Secondly, you must be in this section for going fast... That's why it's the "naturally aspirated PERFORMANCE" section...

Although, some people are confused on this and talkabout suspension and general automotive rather then in the suspension and general sections... Maybe there's alot of stupid NA drivers too...

Cheap skates? I disagree. Most n/a skyline owners as people have pointed out, are P platers and in their teens.

How many teens do you think can afford expensive branded parts? Their doing the best they can with what they have.

Not even necessarily trying to go fast maybe we just want to get the most we can out of our car.

yes I agree there are a bunch of people who post up stupid things like omg my car isnt fast wtf. If you want to flame go for it

But has anybody in this thread said anything about that?

Do you personally have any reason for giving everybody in this thread all these pointless comments?

    • 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.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
