Does anyone know where i can get the side decals like the R34 GTR Brian had, ive seen a few people with them now including the R33 on top of the burleigh wreckers i think it is.

I bought one online but its turned out to be a little bit too small and does go all the way to the end of the wheel guard.

Is there anywhere i can get them including the bonnet stripes? Or will i have to get them made at a sign shop

Below is the pic of mine, as you can see its not the right scale for the decal (only cost $40 anyway)

ive come accross this website, has anybody experienced this before? Safe to buy from?

Mate, don't listen to other people - just get it out of your system - some people just need to put decals on their car just once in their lives...go ahead...and no, never and never will buy decals from anyone where...

Google CarX Decal. These guys do good work and can post interstate...

Cheers mate, helped a lot.

Went through their images, turns out they do a custom one that looks like the exact same to fit an R34 and they sell em for $200 from sydney or $400 to fit aswell

Kyle I'm not going to be harsh, but that movie was a farce and everything about it and in it was an even bigger farce. The only people I can fathom looking up to cars like those in the movie are 18 year olds, the same generation that only learned of the import and tuning scene through video games such as Need For Speed (blasphemy for import hard knocks). Goodluck with your endeavours, I hope you get this filth out of your system quickly - it makes us all look bad.

As they say haters gonna hate, but your forgetting its a N/A skyline... im doing everything aesthetically i can to it so at point of sale it targets p platers, as you said "dumb 18 yr olds".
From this i hope to earn a bit of money from it.

Im not a fan of decals myself, but my R34 now im trying to make as much money out of it as i can. Then when i get the turbo r34 or r32, its gonna have track related mods, not worried about decals, unless its sponsors or if i have my own design.



BTW incase you havent noticed on the Gold Coast there is about 3 -5 cars with these decals on, everyone in public that has seen the car all drop their jaws to it, its obvious people out there think its an icon.

Look at southport wreckers... they have a wrecked R33 with the same decals on it, they decided to put it on their roof as an icon.

Maybe it does look like shit to a lot of people in melbourne and victoria etc. but f**k i dont care what everyone thinks, its my aesthetics project car, and im doing mods to it i think is going to get the price up on it.

Ive had experience with it before. People always say "oh you never make money on cars"
Absoloute bullshit.

We used to buy cars, fix em, sell em make $1000 profit min a time.

People dont realise how many dumb p platers are out there that dont know what cars are worth.

My previous sales of cars, ive had people come buy them without even getting in em or test driving em. More money for me....

My mate bought a Auto S13 Silvia CA18de for $5000....... shit paint, shit wheels, rust..... < You really think a ca18de silvia is worth 5k? lol...

You queenslanders must have something in your water that causes people like you to believe that looks good.

I'd rather kick a wall with a toothpick lodged under my toenail than to drive that riced out piece of shit and if my son

ever showed me that car and said that he wanted to buy it, I would slap him so hard his head spins around like the excorcist.

You're also a shit mate for letting your mate buy a auto ca s13 for 5k.

Are you still doing this decal thing?

I'm keen to see pictures once it's done!

If you haven't done it why not spend that money on some good coilovers and a pair of sway bars?

Yeh i am doing it, but atm im repainting my bonnet, rear left quarter, roof, wing, tail light panels, because some have some major stone chips on em (paint peeling off) ive got rust coming through the paint also so who ever had the car before did a shit paint job because the base coat isnt even sticking to the primer.

Just finishing sanding off the roof now, got decals at home waiting.

    • 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
