I'm just taking it slow at the moment. I'm waiting for the gearbox to get back to my mechanics and hopefully the thing is still broken down so I can get some pictures and then I'll talk to the gearbox specialist that diagnosed the problem so I can get specifics and also a quote on how much it would be to fix, I won't pay to fix but just so they can see how much damage is present with a monetary value.

I'm also looking into the department of fair trading but I'm a bit weary of my chances as this has been an ongoing problem for months now. Starting with them not sending the parts actually needed to fit the gearbox and due to some of the parts being sourced from Nissan it took time for them to arrive.

In a nut shell I want to know exacts and get them on paper so I can start building a strong arguement and not go into this umming and arring.

Thanks for your support guys, it's heartbreaking when you try to do the right thing by people and be nice and they just spit in your face.

just out of interest many eons age i organised a reco auto box for my mum's car

came to $500 for the box

installed but there was an issue

got them to drive the car to one of their service agents and they sorted it out

lasted for years until we traded the car in

thing is the gearbox place was not a JAP import type place so they're a bit more legit

Guys,

we all know who this business is.

They are well known for their rediculous prices, i dont even call them anymore when i need parts even though they are local to me.

Good luck with it mate, i hope you get your refund.

My gearbox never saw the road, my car has been on a hoist since last November getting work done to it but to be more precise It's been on a hoist since April just for a box that would work to go into it. This business thinks I'm doing the dodgey on him.... How the fek would I do the dodgey when my PFC is still sitting on my mechanics shelves unopened haha... The car can't even be turned on and I'm supposedly doing shonkeys?!!? Cause people love to walk everywhere so they can go to the hassle I am right now

I think my correct avenue will be the department of fair trading just need to get some particulars from my mechanic and I definitely need this digi photos of the sort of damage it's in because that will be a good indication of how severe the damage is and then I can post them up on here and see what people think.

It's the forum rules that we can't publicly bad mouth business to avoid litigation against our beloved SAU. Wouldn't want to see this place get shut down all over a silly gearbox would we? :laugh:

So who is it?

Can we all stop being pansies with the PM's..?

    • 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.  
    • 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.
