man that is a sad story. So what about payment, they wont be able to replace it with a new one, so what can u do? and also looks like it a had a couple of mods on it (exhaust, stereo, etc), so that has to get paid out, plus hardship for not having a car for a few weeks.

There's no way I'd be able to say what all my little mods were to my car, so there's no way I'd be able to list them to them so that they could replace them. I tell you what though, I'd be nice and pissed off if that was my car. Especially one that they can't replace anymore.

I wonder if he'll get compensated for the things like the Silvia badges and any other small mods.

i can't see my mate getting anything more than the insurance amount it was insured for. being a nissan dealership makes it no difference to it being a little workshop around the corner.

its life. life sux sometimes. he will probably get a pay out from his insurance company, thats what its for. if i was owner of the dealership, i'd say "sue me". why would i give up a brand new car for something i know my insurance is going to cover.

yeah zactly franks, he'll only get his insured value, in fact he'll probably have to claim on his own insurance and pay the excess.

If his policy allows new for old replacement they'll just pay him the list price that he bought it for (happened when my old 200sx was stolen)

I had a huge fight with a local workshop a few years ago when they crashed my old laser when they were servicing it.

BTW, waste of a good set of azenis, I hope he gets to keep them :D

I'm sorry, that car was stolen in my eyes. Im sure there is no way in hell that they are allowed to take a customers car off site they did not have too. Threaten them with taking them to court and see what they do.

That makes me so sick. That little prick had no right to do that.

Seek proper legal advice, you are not just looking for an insurance settlement following an accident. I imagine you will be sueing the dealership for negligence in not properly supervising it's appretice and failure in it's duty of care towards your property

addit: This could be a case for one of the Sh*t Hot guys who charge 50% of your settlement for a win and nothing for a lose

agree with 51jay. get the suckers cos the service managers should be just as responsible as the apprentice for property that has been passed onto them by a customer.

If they nick the car whilst it is in service, they should fix it right? If the f**k the car up then they should replace it.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
