upgrading cooler is one of the first things you do in the modification stage before you get bigger turbo.
Correction: it's one of the first things RICERS do!~

Gojira: thought so :cheers:

MeshMesh: those pics are after the Jaws Of Life have chopped up the car...sliding out of control into a pole at 70k in the wet would still do enough damage imo, not that i am saying they were doing 70...

I have posted enough in this thread.

:run:Im out

It affects you because you're ignorant and selfish enough to not have any sympathy for others, regardless of whatever the circumstances were at the time

Let's be clear about something - I'm not obliged to have sympathy for anyone who suffers as a result of careless driving or their own actions.

As I said, you don't know what happened; but all you care about is how it'll affect YOU

That was the whole point of my post wasn't it?? I could care less what you or anyone thinks of me on here. If you take offence to my comments or disagree - that's your problem not mine, but dont presume you can tell me what I can and cant say.

I've posted my comments and I have nothing further to add to this thread.

This affects me because I drive an import, live nearby to the area where this accident occurred, and I dont appreciate being harassed by cops because of the CARLESS actions of other drivers.

YOU, GTTR34 as much as anyone else, are the type who give Skylines/imports/enthusiasts' cars a bad name.

If you don't have any sympathy for 2 teenaged PASSENGERS who have been killed, regardless of the circumstances, then you're probably not going to give a fcuk (as you so cleverly type) about anyone else on the road.

That is what causes accidents & ill feeling - people who don't care about other road users.

Bagging other forum members for having a different opinion to yours really helps too, doesn't it???

No-one here knows what happened to cause that "accident", but it sure as hell doesn't help anyone to merely think about how it might affect you.

I hope I don't have the misfortune to be driving on the same stretch of road as you!

With regards to:

I do admit...some sympathy and empathy must come out of this. However, sympathy has to stop at a certain point because a minority group of idiots have caused the law to typecast the rest of the law-abiding/track racing group. Some sympathy - Young life wasted. But it's hard to learn when your peers are all doing stupid things.

70km/h only? Righhhhhhhht :bs!: He's got so much to loose by telling the truth.

Soon we'll all have to drive camrys and magnas because things for import drivers will sooon degenerate.

ERRR, sven laptop - your comments are laughable, now you say I give skyline/imports enthusiasts/drivers a bad name? pffft. How do you figure that one genius? Go and read my posts again, in each one I am referring to the DRIVER. Dont make this about me you moron, you dont know me. I didnt bag other forum users, yet people here are judging ME for having an opinion different to theirs. It's not my problem if people misread my posts and disagree with my view. Say what you like, I'm through with this discussion.

:bs!:

Your kidding arent you?
No, I am not.

hmm rice is something that doesent add power but look good. A fmic replacement for the pissy stock cooler gains alot of power!!! Or are you saying everyone with a fmic is a ricer??? :cheers:
I know what rice is - putting on a FMIC, including the usual: widening / opening up of the front bar, an aftermarket front bar for more exposure, spraying big jap brand logos etc are all for show.

Even without the extra bits that usually go with a FMIC install - how much power exactly does a bigger intercooler give to a stock car [33 gtst]? Where is the evidence of this?

AFAIK all it will do with a stock turbo [which is what we are talking about] is run more efficiently [perhaps] than the stock ic...

INASNT said: "its the first thing people do for performance" and since we are talking about stock cars, how much performance does a big FMIC give?

Nearly every r33 gtst I see in places like chapel st [but certainly not limited to] have this mod - why? for looks, plain and simple. If they eventually get a bigger turbo and / or upgrade their exhaust/intake/boost/cams/etc that doesn't mean the FMIC actually gave any power - it just "helped" deliver it to the engine - either faster through less pressure drop or cooler through being more efficient.

How many other loonies are prepared to put their hand up with these guys and say that "a FMIC installed on a stock r33 gtst, running stock turbo & boost is going to give greater power"???

Now, installing a bigger FMIC along with other mods like a bigger turbo, much higher boost than stock etc, that is a different story [not what I am even talking about].

Amen.

i am 17, i have my p's and could have done an equal or better crash in my NA R31... its not the car, it is the driver... fullstop.

my best friend is one of these drivers, and i refuse to travel in his car with him... he sure takes offence to this and thinks im a *****, but i know for a fact he would have the urge to show off and could come unstuck... therefore, i stick clear of him and his car

**edit: posting in my brothers account he is 23 not me: end edit**

Evidence would be my car about 2 years ago,

Stock turbo and cooler with safc 155rwkw.

Stock turbo, fmic, safc 183rwkw.

The fact is that the stock cooler is a piece of shit and should be tossed in the bin.

If you get a fmic installed on ur car, then you would atleast get a bleeder which costs $90 to raise the boost from stock as it is so easy to install and use so you get the performance increase.

Y are we arguing?

I was enjoying GTTR34 getting a baging from everyone instead :P

No, GTTR34, you don't show any signs of unnecessary aggression, do you???

But you're right about one thing: "incidents like this certainly don't improve the image of import car drivers."

Unfortunately, neither do cases of those drivers calling each other "careless moron f*ckwits".

How about we wait and find out what REALLY happened before we start flinging blame at people who already have quite a bit to deal with at the moment?

That's my 2 cents worth.

Drive safely.

we are not arguing, well im not anyway :P

increasing boost with a bleeder is what raised the power - I was talking about STOCK!

dont twist things, i know the stock 33 cooler is restrictive etc

my stock 34 ic does a great job with my mods [full 3inch turbo back exh, pod and 10-11psi]!

Stock intercooler on my R32 (R33 no different) had about 2psi pressure drop. How do i know, with the std cooler the car ran 11psi with my exhaust/filter mods. With my front mount it ran 13psi. So with a good exhaust/filter and intercooler you wont be running stock boost, even though you havent installed a boost controller or tried to cheat the wastegate..... Instant 2psi increase (power in itself) plus a cooler denser charge meaning more power again. So i must be a loony :werd:

Hate to say it - but I know what I was like in my 87 Pintara Wagon when I was 18 - I dont really like pondering certain outcomes if I had 200kw at the rear wheels at my disposal and a confidence to skill ratio way out of balance.....

P Plate Training is not the only solution - power to weight ratio surely has to be just as important ...

Tragic none the less.

In all honesty i have no sympathy whatsoever for his actions because of the innocent lives at risk. Even if his mates were egging him on to drag that honda NA i still would've put my mates as a safety priority first and would've drived normally...don't know whether he was under pressure and said oh well it's either my mates who will die or i look like a fool for not racing the honda ( until proven).

Then my old man gave me a lecture and said to me ur car (r32 gts-t) was on the news about a crash and i''m like it's an r33 plus he was on his p's being stupid.

Can't even go to work without some1 mentioning my car, using it as a scape goat!

This is the very last time I will bother replying to people in here [i will check back for other peoples responses for a laugh but dont bother asking me any q's].

Talk about out of context. Yes, air intake and exhaust mods can give you a natural boost increase... I already know this...

So you removed either an "NQR" or "under-spec'd for a modified car" stock ic and replaced it with a brand new stock item? Then you compared the results of that with the FMIC results? OR did you just go straight from an ic trying to work outside its efficiency zone [and probably blocked from dirt/bugs/rocks/dints/etc] to a big fmic? Either way your post is virtually useless to the coversation because in addition to the useless test you did, your before and after comparisons have exhaust and filter mods - I am talking about a fkn stock car NO MODS! OR, you didnt give me anywhere near enough info on your test? Which is it?

My main points were

1. Most people put on FMIC's for looks more than anything else [a lot of these ppl also have p-plates and advertise their mobile numbers for chicks to call them up and be fully sik together].

2. I am talking about FCUKING stock cars, how many times must I use the word "stock" before people realise? fcuk me.

:chop: :P :bs!: :hellpisd: :cuss: :looney: :chairshot:flamer:

guys please drive really carefully when its wet... Its just not funny how hairy a Skyline can be in the wet...

even if you are a really skillful, experienced driver...of any age...driving a Skyline requires more concentration and maturity than driving a Toyota Corolla...and that is just a fact...

a run of the mill type of car is much more forgiving when you make a mistake... make a mistake in a Skyline and it will bend you over and reem you like there is no tomorrow...

PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY... nobody deserves to die for being young and stupid...

u emphasise STOCK...how do you know if their stock? i mean do you know the modifications of all the stock skylines in victoria with fmic's hanging of the front? its also a pretty damn expensive rice addition compared to a simple pink neon hanging out the front lol

what do you class as stock? stock rims? stock ride height?

i dont understand your logic dude, fmic's are one expensive modification to just have as a visual rice addition to your car lol :angel: :innocent:

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • 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.
