I would if i was an insurance company.

turns out i still need to cover the excess until they track old mate down, or i just wait till they sort that out (in other words Shannons dont want to sort out the police report asap, and are trying to scam 500 out of me)

Got the ball rolling yesterday, now i need quotes. can someone suggest a good panel shoppe on the northside? ive never had to deal with one...so i wouldnt know.

Anybody free and willing to help me dismantle the car this weekend? Struggling with shitty tools and have no idea how to go about pulling the engine out.

Willing to provide food and drinks cause I am a cheap fark

Mangs,

Doesn't feel like Thursday, but it is. So Maccas tonight :)

These guys did work on my sisters mazda, they replaced a rear quarter skin and painted it. I know they replaced it i just can't work out where they joined the new panel in. Quality work great blending on the paint (can't tell where it starts) and fast repair.

Not as fresh. Had to take the leopard for a couple of long drives to see if miss was fixed (it wasn't), and then I had to drive the skyline for a few days while I changed the coil packs, etc. So they're both a touch dirty. Will be fine with a wash though.

....then they will no doubt get dirty again on the 400km trip out to gundi. :(

    • 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.
