its a bloody industrial area, kids shouldnt be on the road anyway.

some of the speed limits around south road are a joke atm. still 40 when nothings going on. or worst yet. 40 when all of a sudden it bottlenecks into 1 land and theres roadworkers standing on the road pretty much begging to be collected by a B double,.

*sigh* once again the SAU judges, juries and executioners convict the person involved before he has had his case heard in court.

LOL...thats how we roll Kristian! :whistling:

Yeah he was being a tool.... well he has no car for a month and no doubt a hefty fine/ loss of licence coming. No one was hurt (thankfully) so...end of story.

I gotta admit tho that I drove along there at New years with no workers in sight and it was bloody frustrating rolling at 40.

Come on now kristian, we all know that SAU drivers never misbehave!

But seriously who hasn't sped or done something stupid in our life. It's pretty easy to point the finger at someone when they screw up and not look in our own backyard. Big deal-the guy made a mistake-and let's face it has court,impounding,I dare dare loss of license and big$$& to pay- pretty sure he will get a severe penalty that none of us would like. Why would u crush such an valuable/rare/awesome piece of machinery- he paid the money for it so I don't believe anyone has the right to take it away---- that's my two bobs worth..

PISStol Ped, Remember that when the next kid gets killed by someone doing 100 in a 40 zone.

yeah coz i see kids playing in road works all the time. just today i literally saw 5 kids playing cricket on south rd

Open your eyes and look at the signs, or isnt your brain connected to your brain, I cannot believe the mentality of some people, have you never seen kids riding bikes or skateboards in a "industrial area", trucks loading and unloading, or people out for a walk, Im happy when idiots who think they can do what they want get booked.

Or are you to cool and hecktic to obey the law.

Its simple really, unless you yourself are simple.

i drive around wingfield day in day out.

never seen kids playing in the streets or on the side of the road....

A few things - Point notation of things I've noticed and the dash points on my personal conclusions...

A) Nobody knows the full details of what happened - aside from what the media and sapol have publicly released - we both know they're biased

- Meaning we need to stfu before we know (as opposed to what we think we know) what actually happened

B) If he was doing 110 in the area they are speaking of, then the dude deserves to be cockslapped

- No excuse for speeding (And I have speeding tickets (none over 15kph over the limit mind you)

C) People saying that minor speeding (under 20kph) and major speeding (40kph+) are the same thing are on drugs. I've been guilty of the former (and drunk driving too*). I'd never condone breaking the law but the fact is, the law is set up so that average people, without criminal intent, do break the law. All of these 'laws' are misdemeanors/trivial which are never heard in court unless elected. The law is setup in these cases to raise revenue. We all know this. But saying that a dude doing 60 in a 50 zone is the same as a cat doing 180 in a 100 zone, or 110 in a 60 zone, is simply bollocks. One can say in this case it was marked as '40' but that roads always been 60 and doesnt look anything like a freeway ;P

- Put the pipe down. I know crack is more-ish, but put that pipe down.

D) People saying that the car should be crushed... again, not knowing the circumstance one cannot ascertain if the driver was the owner. Also, crushing a perfectly good piece of equipment is wasteful, whether its a car or a dildo. Clean it up and sell if you must. But really, the car didn't cause the crime. The dude behind the wheel is. And he/she should bear the full attention of the law - not the vehicle (Also, crushing proponents, what if the car is under finance and is actually 'owned' by a bank or credit union?)

- People who advocate crushing of cars are oxygen deprived.

E) Everyone hates the roadworks. I do. I hate doing 25. My clutch leg gets sore. But if they dont upgrade the roads, we bitch about the roads being shit.

- People in general cannot see the glass being half full.. Its a necessary evil. Sure, it'd be nice if the govt put the money in to fix stuff before it breaks, but hey... they have bicycle races to promote you know....

-D

*EDIT - Admitting != condoning. By no means am I saying I was hard done by getting caught PCA. I made a mistake - I dealt with the consequences and have no complaints about my treatment in regards to that - in short, if you drink and drive, you're a dickhead - if you drink and drive twice, give yourself an uppercut.

f**k some people are dumb on SAU.

A) Always and inevitably each of us underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

B) The probability that a given person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic possessed by that person.

C) A person is stupid if they cause damage to another person or group of people without experiencing personal gain, or even worse causing damage to themselves in the process.

D) Non-stupid people always underestimate the harmful potential of stupid people; they constantly forget that at any time anywhere, and in any circumstance, dealing with or associating themselves with stupid individuals invariably constitutes a costly error.

E) A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person there is.

(blatantly stolen from wikipedia)

No kids

Just wokers standing around chatting

and a cop hiding somewhere with his radar going for the kill... he got a big one

"Driving on loose, undulating and incomplete road surfaces can also be especially dangerous in wet weather." ... but he has a 35 GTR

    • 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.
