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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
