Just had an hour long meeting to discuss what we're going to talk about during a 30 minute meeting later this evening... *sigh*

thats pretty much my view of management. its just one big hand-ball to the next person at the next meeting.

anyone around clayton/mordy area tomorrow afternoon/evening feel like helping me load the pulsar onto trailer?

dont think I could do it by myself, dont think it has a winch on it either.

...and the missurs wont be very helpful. she struggles to even guide people when theyre reversing.

It was a pre-meeting before a conference call tonight with our Europe office, I was getting everyone here on the same page so we can go in as a team and yell at them for being dumbsheits, in a consistent manner.

I'll driving through clayton on my way home at about 5:30-5:45 tomorrow night if you need a hand.

awesome, thanks. theres a chance my dad might make it, so ill let you know if i do need help.

since when did vicroads charge money to check demerit points?

it was only like a year or two ago you could just ring up and it was read by the automated system, now you speak to someone and you have to pay for a report. utter bs.

dafuq???

I'm pretty sure that there's always been a paid report thing that you can get sent to you... But I've always just called them up, and they've told me over the phone what's up... then a few days later I receive the report in the mail anyway...

Just speak to a Vicroads team member, avoid their automated system that'll try to money grab you for basic information...

but the automated system doesnt grab money...you just enter in your licence details and it spits out the points...

I just called and it went straight to a real person... "have your licence number and credit card ready" :angry:

well hes watched me do it a couple of items so im sure he does.......I doubt he could be f**ked doing it himself though...

why whats the problem?

My boot lid has, what looks to be a paint / clear coat blemish for bird shit.

I cleaned the shit off but I have a feeling it ate through / blemished the clear coat.

if you have some cutting compound, put it on a small rag or maybe like a chux cloth or something slightly abrasive and buff it by hand,,,should get the stain out..but will leave some swirly marks in that area...which yeah ,would then require a buff..

if it has actually lifted or bubbled the clearcoat...its too late and you're stuck with it

i rang to check up car rego a few months ago and thye didnt charge me

just looekd at website and its under maintenance, maybe that has something to do with it

seeing as Birds gets me to polish his car...I'm guessing no....lol

I do, it's just cheaper and less effort to pay you lol

Case in point my motorbike

But do go to Artz...he is faster and certainly cheaper...I charge nude model rates...

nah my rates are gone up...then again so has the quality of my work so its only fitting...

did you dot that by hand, or bought a machine...?

By hand. Would need a Dremel and tiny pads to detail a bike / pull the fairings off it. It's just a glaze, not a proper polishing compound.

Ok cool, thanks for that :thumbsup:

LOL!

Result looks good.

    • 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.
