ok no one replied to my other thread.. hopefully more luck here.

im looking at this shell in QLD. im in Sydney so obviously viewing it is tricky.

ive had the guy selling it send me a few pics, and asked plenty of questions but he hasn't really inspected it since purchasing it..

The front end is super straight.. awesome.

The rear im not so sure, as you can see by the pic ive posted the taillights sit in a awkward position in relation to the rear bar. ive tried messing around with the dead shell ive currently got but haven't been able to replicate the way it sits..

The rear bar doesn't appear to have previous damage so im lost as to whats going on.. maybe im being pedantic but the plate holder looks a bit bent..

basically curious to know what other peoples opinions are ?

Don't be shy now...

the boot lock needs adjusting im aware of that..

im not sure if you see what im seeing, the rear bar bows up towards the taillights which it shouldn't.

unfortunately Cefiro's are'nt disposable items in OZ like they are in NZ.

what it should look like..

Nic the one shot ive seen of your white ceffy it looks pretty good, i havent seen the project ceffy however.

the POS shell in the driveway lines up quite well, i cant remember what the old cefiro was like though.. all the pics i can find of cefiro rear ends look pretty good.

My guess is a bent reo, Ive got a bent reo and its put the holes that the factory bar clips into out of whack. So the whole left side on my rear bar doesnt clip into it. If it is clipped in it will sit all messed up. Ask the seller to take a few pics of the rear with the rear bar off and take some pics at diff angles of the reo to see how it sits.

that's the plan, whats the beaver panel like on your car ? (beaver=panel the lights and garnish panel bolt onto) did it bend anything else on your car ?

cheers for your input!

Nah nothing wrong with it. The reo was bent coz i backed into a car at like point blank range haha. Pretty much just the left side of the reo was damaged. Looks like that ceff took a very light tap on the botom. I could be wrong but thats wat it looks like from the pic. Good luck with it all.

    • 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.
