hey guys, this is my first post on here, im friends with sambo33 and usually post on ns as i dont have a skyline.

anyhow,

last night i found an r33 about 5 k's out of town. it had been crashed into a pole and then torched. :yes:

looks like it was a joy ride by out of towners because it looks like theyve come down a dirt road onto a sharp right hand and havent seen or known the corner was there and gone straight across into a pole.

it is either black or gunmetal grey.

as far as i could tell (it was dark) it had:

white volk wheels. it only had the front right wheel on it, which was blown in half. all the rest look to have been flogged as the car was sitting on large rocks.

jun bl exhasut, looked to be all the way to the dump, but the only light i had was my phone.

tein coilovers ( i think), it was all really badly fire damaged and pretty unrecognizable.

thats the most i could tell that it had. all the rest was just too fire damaged.

number plate is xav or xaz something, only half of the plate was there and was hard to read.

ive got a photo that ill put up shortly, i just need to get it off the camera.

thats about as much info as i could get on it.

anyone here know whos it is?

sorry to be the bearer of bad news to the owner.. :rolleyes:

is this insurance job? unkle chop chop is this your mates idea of insurance job? he went to incredible lengths to make sure that insurance company would notice that it needed a new paint job and a bit of bog...

honestly i wouldnt do that for an insurance job. in fact i dont think any of us can afford an insurance job @ 2000 dollars a claim and the cost of ammonium these days...

not really if you look i imagine its a desolate road due to having enough time to take the rims off after the accident

i think my excess its like $1000 so not everyone has to forkout and i think if you get a police report and your car is claimed to be stolen you dont pay excess hence fire and theft cover

in my short life ive known alot of shonky ppls and this is could be nothing short of a desperate persons attemt to reclaim some money

not saying this owner to this skyline has done that but its not beyond belief

With the amount of Skylines getting stolen these days, I would doubt it very much! Besides if you put enough time, effort and money into these things, you really wouldn't want to do this sorta thing yourself!

point taken but who said this one had any money spent on it and sometimes ppls still think its worth doing the bodgey and thats why we have full jails

as DC_GTST pointed out wheres the rims

My bad... he wrote

'white volk wheels. it only had the front right wheel on it, which was blown in half. all the rest look to have been flogged as the car was sitting on large rocks.'

Therefore technically there is one left on the right hand side front lol.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
