your prob gona think watta a idiot.....lol...but the papers are in the car... at mechanics

but im gonna just tell him straight up.... only because... he said that it was my fault the way i drive the car broke to pistons (being a skyline fan since i was a little kid i was offended haha), but i managed to get my two cents in.... saying ok so the oil dripping for the throttle body the day after i purchased the car is the way i drive the car??....... I love how he is claiming that the car was perfect....yet when i went in there to double check that the rego had gone throught to my name they couldnt even find the car or the sale in their files..... They are a real good business and heard all good things from them but still getting me real cut and confused and poor lol ......

got a call from the mechanic....... apparently all 6 pistons were damaged and f**ked.... so im getting engine rebuild and new turbo as the oil seal went.... $1500 later its not too bad of a price considering i was out of warranty........ but still not happy that i have to pay anything at all....... but ye thanks for all the advise everyone...... keep you updated as he said if i wanted to chuck in a extra 100 they would put forgies in.... sweeeeet im up for that haha

take care

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
