dude, he is making the money on the postage .... the postage doesn't really cost US$30 per piece - I am sure it is significantly less - he is avoiding Ebay charges (as they charge a percentage of the purchase price as commission).

The signs are fairly large, so even tho they are light they go by cubic weight!!

Is it sent air freight?

don't know, I don't really give a crap, as long as they're here within 3 weeks and they arrive safe and sound!

fyi buyers - I paid shipping insurance on them too, for peace of mind.

Order is in, I have paid for them all, and am waiting for him to notify me the shipping EMS numbers for tracking. Will post them up when available.

also fyi, he said you can change the light bulbs in the head unit and change the colour of the signs. I am not sure what type of bulbs these are, but hopefully he will let me know or send some spares.

Andrew

the payments have now all cleared and the guy is making the signs as we speak. We (I) got absolutely ripped on the Paypal A$ to $US conversion - they converted at US76.5c to the A$ (should have been around 80c to the A$). So it turns out everyone's orders are $5 more expensive. But I not gonna lose too much sleep over it. If you wanna give me the extra $5 each when you next see me at a cruise then that would be nice ..... if not, it's not the end of the world.

Will let you all know shipping/tracking numbers when available.

My signs arrived today! They look pretty good, but one doesn't work. Hopefully it is just something simple, but haven't had a chance to look yet. Instead of cutting and joining wires, I just got a travel adaptor from the hardware. Works like a dream (on the sign that works anyway)

Thanks for all the time you put into this Andrew. Your a champ. Finally my lounge room looks like a cheesy pub! :)

P.S. I'll give you the extra money owing when I see you. Thanks again, Ant. :)

Hey guys

my signs arrived on tuesday but ive been away at my gfs so i didnt know until i got home today

they looks sweet :P

just need to go get sum adapters now

btw andrew how much do i owe u?

got mine today too - and the email from the supplier giving shipping/tracking numbers :P

Mine are sweet as, I got 6 in total and they all work and are cool. One had the bulb dislodged (maybe like yours Ant), so I opened her up, pulled out the light assembly and put the globe back in. Works perfect now! Fyi, you can buy the bulbs around the place apparently, so if you prefer a different colour it is an easy fix.

Don't worry about the cash Kamikazee - it is too hard for the sake of $5. I just made the comment cos I am likely to catch up with the other fellas sooner or later. I just forgot Paypal give such a shitty exchange rate!

And don't bother with buying an adapter - just cut the end off and rewire a new plug on the end - 2 minute job and much cheaper. You can buy plugs from Woolies, Coles etc.

Hope you all enjoy your signs!!

Can you post up a picture of what they look like lit up next to something, so we can see the actual size of em?

I went into a new bar world shop last night looking for something similiar but all they had were shitty little globe type lights which said crap like bar open, and they were selling for $50.

Luckly these are coming from America otherwise if they were sent from anywhere in Asia customs would have checked em all out.

these are actually sent from china - or so it says on mine

den these are about 30cm long and bout 15cm tall (plus the metal bit at the top)

I will look for these when i am in hong kong in 2 weeks time.

Hopefully i can post some back to myself in Aus while there.

    • 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.
