As most of you are aware the Government is looking into new ways in which they can help save lives on our roads... ASM has written an Article relating to this issue and are asking all people to forward on a small cut out from their magazine (photo copied or cut-out) and send it off to the reply paid address for the "Improving Safety for Young Drivers" which goes to the "Minister of Roads"... If you don’t have a copy of this current ASM i will be posting the cut out in the next couple of days (finding a scanner) or if anyone else could post it in the mean time, please print it out and send it off I believe this article will prevent a massive knee jerk reaction from the government on imported drivers and it will also aid in helping keep our streets safe and teach our L/P Plate drivers to be safe, mature and responsible on our roads....

Foznice good point... it was a really long and detailed article going into the accident that have been occurring on our roads with Young Drivers and that high powered cars were the problem we all know the story.. and how the media has influenced the public into basically being against us... they believe that it's not the car or the age of our drivers or even a video game influence that makes any driver go fast or do anything stupid on our roads... They are saying that it's all down to education of all drivers on our roads that is the problem and that not even restrictions on young drivers is necessarily the answer... I will try and post up the article ASAP for people to read but in the mean time pop into a newsagent and have a read or even buy it if you get a chance...

I just read the article (i dont do alot at work). It is well written and presented puts forward alot of the issues that are discussed in this forum such as driver training etc. I will be defenately(spelling) sending the reply to Mr Scully and hopfully it may change his mind on a few of the ideas that are being put forward. I sure this topic has been discussed a lot so i will leave it at that.

Yea it's a good article

sorry i havent been able to copy the magazine had someone ass end my skyline wed night and done a fair bit of damage other things on my mind sorry.... will try to get to it asap for those who havent read it...

    • The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
    • Hey guys. New here. I am having an issue with my hr34. The fuel pump isn't turning on. I removed it from the tank. Bench test it. Wasn't working. Order new one and installed it today. Still not turning on. Checked the relay. Relay has voltage on the contact side. I jumped it and it tuned the pump on. Which lead me to checked the coil voltage.  Turned on the ignition and had my meter across the coil and there wasn't any dc voltage. Had my meter lead on the positive and I used the frame ground and noticed there was 12 volts. Which lead me to believe the relay isn't getting a negative signal. I traced the wire ( black with pink strip).it goes back to the bottom on the steering and it gets lost into the harness.   I checked at the ecm and I can't seem to find that wire color.   My question if any one knows is. Can I not just run the negative through a ignition relay to turn on the fuel pump relay?. Or anyone ever had this issue and if so how did u go about fixing it.    
    • So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
    • Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary.
