Hey Guys,

On christmas eve i was pulling out of the ridiculously dangerous driveway at my complex (which you cant see over the crest of the hill and has cars hammering down the street) and as i edged out, had somebody come flying over the hill and crash into the front of my car. Apart from being completely pissed off at the inevitable situation happened and having my number plate crushed, reo damaged, and front bar dented, i now have to fix the other vehicle.

The car is a hyundai accent 2000 model i think and she hit me with the front left corner of her car. The damage sustained was a smashed front left headlight and damaged front left corner of the front bar.

I am basically asking around if anybody knows of a smash repairer around brisbane (preferrably West side) that does cheap work to a reasonable standard to get this hyundai fixed. I say reasonable standard, as the car was already sporting different coloured paint from previous accidents and even had some scrape marks on the corner that she hit me with.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as there has already been a quote from Toowong Smash, and it came to a wallet hurting $1,600!!! I am going to talk to the chicks dad regarding sourcing parts such as the headlight privately to potentially reduce the fixing cost, as he was very reasonable and sympothetic to the fact my excess would be $2,100 if it goes through insurance.

Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for the replies so far guys, but just to elaborate on the above: I am going to take care of the repairing of my vehicle, it is a cheap smash repairer that I need for the other car, the Hyundai Accent 2000 model.

As people have suggested, I am going to price up buying the parts needed to fix the car, but I don’t know if the other party will let me fix it, hence the cheap smash repairer. I don’t believe the front bar of the Hyundai will need repainting, and even if it did, I am not paying for it, as there were scratches and paint from other cars all over it before she hit me. The actual paint transfer from the accident is minimal anyway.

So yeah, if anybody knows of a cheap smash repairer to get the Hyundai fixed at, that would be great.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
