Surely thats what you would expect from the bogans on that particular forum.

The forum agreement when you sign up surely dictates you must be of the 'rip a skid' kind and be atleast 95% bogan. If they didnt have that automotive forum (if you can call it that) they would equally spread out amongst others polluting them with boganised crap and illegal automotive socialising.

Typical self centered f ucks, hope the police got some good photographs to back up the letters for EPA and roadworthy.

I'm all for skids but there is a place and time for everything, this was not the place.

Idiots.

^this

I wonder in which moment did these cluster fucks think that the police wont be writing all the plates down. Oh and awesome job on playing down the whole "hooning" image, fkn nuckle draggers.

Seriously f**king idiots..

I hope the lot of them get their cars impounded.. If not crushed for being so dumb.

If they wanted to 'rip skids' why didn't they have a track day or something like that in their memory?!

So embarrassing to even share the road with these people.

Am I the only one who sees the irony there...

Such a sad thing to happen. Reminds me of about 10 years ago with a guy i used to play ice hockey with. an absolute champ at such a young age got taken due to a driving accident.

As we left the funeral 1 ute driver bagged it up out the front, about 5 guys threw stuff at his ute for being a twat and not respecting the situation.

So what actually happened to the guys who died?

But what I wanna know is, why didn't the police stop the idiots doing burnouts and fine them on the spot?

Edit: Quote from Boostcruising.

To my knowledge the police were aware of what was to take place and blocked the road to allow it to happen.

According to some of the posts they died doing stupid shit.

As for the police, well apparently they only sent one car out to start with.... seriously outnumbered, what were they gonna do? :rolleyes:

It almost looks to me like they decided to just let them do it, and then move on, rather than start a full "incident" and have a mob on their hands

That's exactly how I'm reading it.

Being a funeral, the situation was always going to be emotionally charged - taking on those doing the burnouts could've ended up being very ugly.

The police blocked off the road - yeah sure, for the safety of the other motorists, that wasn't a green light for them to do what they did. I don't know a single cop that would intentionally block a public road and allow a burnout comp on it.

It's one thing to give it a go as you're leaving, it's another thing entirely to do standstills for an hour. It's selfish and it's disrespectful. Imagine if you were there visiting a loved one's grave, or even worse, having a funeral while all that crap was going on? This wasn't about giving someone a send-off, this was about using someone's death as an excuse to engage in a pissing contest.

I know if I was the funeral house, I'd be asking plenty of questions at future funerals if the deceased was a young male. Some of those marks look like they'll be there till the next millennium - not a good advertisement.

Problem is, boostcruising = SAU = any other modified performance car group to the media and general public, so they'll think we're those idiots.

Shell/Iron Chef - agree with your take on situation. Its reasonable to assume they will all get tickets etc in the mail. I certainly hope so.

    • 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.
