depends on the extent of the damage

it says "economical writeoff' so there could be all sorts of shit wrong with it not just panel damage

In the world of car repairs, especially imports, that can also mean sweet FA. When the assesor looked at my stagea, after he had gotten off the phone (trying to work out what it was) he pretty much said "so, its an import eh?" Walked around it a couple of times, stuck his head under the front and said "nah, its a financial write off" and the funny thing was, he didn't even open the bonnet (front end hit, and there was bugger all damage to the inner guards and the chassis wasn't touched)

Consequently, it is being repaired as we speak. (not by me though :action-smiley-069: )

I can confirm that in Perth they are holding a repo'd 33 GTR. Silver in colour, from the small pics iv seen, looks to have stock wheels, bodykit and interior.

It will not be advertised for around a month I have been told (person it was taken from has an option to buy it back).

Too early to say what price they are putting on it...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      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.
