hey guys,

my r33gtst got stripped a few weeks back.

what was stolen?

bonnet, boot, gtr spoiler, leather seats, guages, steering wheel, hks super seq bov, black silver lip deep dish gt 35 rims.

i finally got my car back from insurance

and im on quite a budget.

a few questions

..my interior was ripped apart. wires everywhere!

so wheres the best place to get that fixed?

i havent tried to start the car

but is it safe to start??

ive never had to deal with this

so im a bit confused in some areas.

cheers any advice wuld be greatly appreciated

Interior is pretty easy to intsall yourself plus theres a lot of threads about installing dash seats etc. If wires are ripped apart, just find some one wrecking a r33 and get the original wires.

Whats with all the skylines getting stolen??????

hmm .....is the battery still connected? If the car hasn't burned down and all the fuses are intact you are off to a good start.

basically, get a mate who knows how to use a multimeter to check out the wiring. obviously all the aftermarket stuff isn't needed so just focus on the factory wiring.

you don't really want to take it to a workshop if its a real mess and you are on a budget, it could take hours to days to fix and that can really add up.

as long as the BOV is sealed again it should start ok...is anything else missing?

just the wires.

lol

inside is a complete mess

wires coming outa everywhere

good idea abt the original wires tho

thx :blink:

yeh the battery is still connected

and the fuses seem fine..

only thing is

car has been sitting in rain, hail and shine with no bonnet, boot, or passenger window

so thats why i was a bit hesitant on starting it.

looks like this week im guna try and trace all the wires

and see where they go

thanks for the helpp!

Take the coil cover off and check to make sure there's no puddle of water collected there.

Something doesn't sound right here.

Given the market value of an R33 GTS-T, and the amount of stuff stolen, as well as water and other damage incurred, im surprised it was not classed as a write off by the insurance company.

If you were indeed comprehensively insured, your car should have been towed to a repairer, as GTST pointed out above, and you should only have been 'picking it up' when ALL repairs were fully completed and the car was like new.

hey guys.

sorry for not reply for so long.

im currently renting and im on a unwired connection.

and it sucks donkey balls badly.

110 a month, and i can connect like once a week.

well anyways back to my car.

i had just cars, third party fire and theft.

which covers me up to 10k

...

my car was deemed a repairable writeoff

so therefore just cars

gave me the option

of

a: a total payout

b: a total payout plus my car, less the salvage value of the vehicle

...

i culdnt bare to leave my baby at that.

so

yeh i took the car back :laugh:

yeah someone who could do a bodge job of fixing it, if they had the tools and know how, to fix it up.

doesn't sound like our mate here has either of those two things (no offence).

a 'cheap fix' exercise will end up more $$ in the bin than taking the pay out...

Is the wiring chopped or has everything just been unplugged?

If chopped just buy a 2nd hand complete wiring harness that will make it much easier to fix and probably only take an afternoon of your time to fit.

hey guys..

yeh ive checked the coilpacks. and 100% no water in there. completely dry even with a bit of settled dust.

i bought the salvage for 3400

wiring has beeen chopped and looks messy.

good idea abt the complete wiring harness.

CHeers for that!

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
