wouldnt there be paint marks on your car - eg, paint from the other car? You could put a complaint to the cops.

This happened at monash uni a few years back - some car hit a parked silvia (which was owned by someone that my friends knew) - and it left some mark on one of the mags - he went n complained to the cops, they took details, and last i heard, they tracked down the car that hit his or something.....maybe worth a try?

at the end of the day, quit smoking.

please dont troll...

People have no respect for your car, everytime im in a car park i watch other people just open their doors straight onto other cars (not near as bad as your case). I cant believe they could have hit your car that bad, they must be retarded... bad luck mate.

i dont know if u would want to invent in this but ive when i got my sound ststem installed i hooked up 2 cameras on the inside of my car (one point to the front and one to the rear of my car) they switch on and record when the car is off.

im sure if anyone backed into u, u would get their rego this way.

also i have to fix the angle on mine lol

yeah its f**ked. they didnt even leave a note.....and i was only in there for 5 minutes to buy a pack of ciggys

Bad luck...Quit smoking... not only does it f*ck with your health but also just ended up draining your wallet. :)

I had some ass open a door into my car before, left a small scratch with red paint in there... can hardly even notice it now but still. I try and park away as further as possible from most cars. Or parking on the road usually is the best way to avoid most parking bingles.

smokin has nothing to do with damage to his car. having said that, quit man you'll enjoy your car more (4 longer:P)

similar thing happened to me last nite. was studying late with my gf @ deakin uni. come back to my car and there footprints on my drivers side front fender and mud from the nearby gutter on my drivers window. luckily all they did was scuff my paint slightly but FFS WHY? :)

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
