for f*ks sake the jeolousy is amazing

ok for 1 bd4s is hks reps in oz they ordered my GT-RS turbo b4 it was even availible for the rb25 and they said i was the 1st with it..

for those who cant understand how i made 300kw on stack bottom end

SPEND some f*kin $$$ get the best mechanics and tuners and see what happens...look at my power curve..nuff said..

guy who built my car built gtr-700 croydon drag s14 hi-octanes GT-R

EVL R34 just to name a few...dont ask me why it hasnt blown up yet after redlining it daily FOR A year easy...GO ASK HIM

yoshi from bd4s /croydon hes the one responsible so go spit ur bs to him goddamit...

its funny how mad people get...

I think its more a case of misrepresentation of the owner and the car by the mag in this case. By pandering to the kiddies that read the mag, they've lost the attention to detail and aren't on the pulse about what interests true enthusiasts, and other skyline owners who want to build similar cars or are simply curious as to what lies under the hood.

Albert/4evagtrs, you're not representing ANY of the members of this forum with your comments, so please don't try to pass yourself off as a Skyline enthusiast. In fact, here... have a ban.

Reading this thread confirmed a few things for me;

#1 Don't let my car get into a magazine, they will sensationalise anything for a headline and make me look like an idiot

#2 Don't let my car get into a magazine, they will make mistakes that make me look like a fool

#3 If I just have to have my car in a magazine, proof read every word and picture, otherwise they will make errors of fact and judgement that will make me look stupid

#4 Don't believe everything I see written in a magazine, they make mistakes that make me look like a goose when I quote them

#5 Don't count on increasing the value of my car because it's been in a magazine, everyone now knows it has been living on the edge and engine failure is only a bad batch of fuel or a hot day away. Plus because of #1, #2 and #3 they think I am an idiot/stupid/fool/goose and wouldn't buy a car off me if it was the last one on earth.

#6 Since it's been in a magazine, my car is now the target for every thief that wants to steal it. For every idiot that wants to drag it off. For every RTA inspector who wants to defect it. For every cop who wants it off the roads because I am a car enthusiast, hoon and a menace to society.

If you ever see an article on one of my cars in a magazine you will know I wrote it myself, took the pictures and proof read it at least 3 times. I don't trust journalists, they are there to sell magazines, not look after my interests. Plus I will have changed the colour, the rego, my name and lied about the state it's in. So if you see a pink R32GTST with Tassy rego, "FAKE" number plates and "HobartKid" as the owner you will know it's mine.

:blink: cheers :D

PS; no offence to Tasmanians.

yeah yeah yeah i know this NOW wont be doin it again...

im of to america so not worried just wanted to make it easier to sell...

SOME people have to much time on there hands no need for essays its only gts for f*ks sake...

he works with computers.. The car was not an overnight build. was approx 2 years in the making...

Off topic, but is it just me or is every car in those mags built with the proceeds of "working in I.T." or "working with computers"....Amazing how many early 20s computer geeks with huge disposable incomes there are these days! :O

Thats correct, im one of em :P

Reasonably well paid, virtually no expense's (read: a Mrs)

beats being a uni bum :)

I've worked FT for 4 years, straight outta school and into my current job within 6 months.

Not that this thread is about school, or the I.T Industry :P

#5 Don't count on increasing the value of my car because it's been in a magazine, everyone now knows it has been living on the edge and engine failure is only a bad batch of fuel or a hot day away.

As many a time before, couldnt agree more.

The truth is out 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.
