Hey Guys I Need Your Opinions.........!


Recommended Posts

hi all, im a new member here. this forum brought me a lot of knowledge abt skylines and i really appreciate that

today i just have some thoughts i want to share and i need your opinions abt it.

i have a skyline :) and come with an insurance (racv) and it's not a comprehensive just fire&theft and third party covered. the market values cover for my car is up to 10k max~~~~~~~~ well and im totally just a newbie in this insurance stuff so plz dont throw hammers at me :D

*now, what IF i hide my car somewhere secretly and then i claim to the insurer that my car is stolen........obviously they would give me abt 20 days (i rckon) to look for my car. after that period,i reckon they would pay me the cash (!?!) or (some car with a similar values?!?!?? i dnt no) if i cant find my car....

_ AND THEN , the questions is : 1) CAN i bring the skyline to some wrecker and wreck the car apart to get some cash back ? Will the wrecker do this or they will consider that is illegal to do something to a supposed-to-be-stolen car? Because i have no idea how those wrecker shops work as well as i dont no anything about this stuff.

2) if i buy another car, would vicroad provide me the same reg plate or different 1 ?

Any opinions would be appreciated. Thank you guys !!!!!!!!!!!!

Ps : i have some personal reasons to come up to this idea.....so please don't be so mean :(

LOL, this is probably not the wisest thing to ask on a forum you "Muffin" :)

But to answer your first question, I guess if you take your car to a wrecker, they will probably take everything off your car, but won't keep anything that can be identify as a stolen car eg engine, chassis. But interior, brakes, panels, I think they would.

Honestly - Did this thought pop outta your head or your ass?

I mean come on mate - you honestly think you can sell a stolen car to a wrecker that easily?

*sigh* Every dumbass would be doing that if it was so simple.

VIN numbers, engine numbers - they will be in the database as STOLEN. No wrecker will touch it.

Add to that, if you've stripped all the VIN/Engine numbers off... No wrecker will touch that EITHER as its ILLEGAL.

No personal reason is good enough for insurance fraud which will see you in more shit than the werribee poo farm

Obvious troll is obvious, but he isn't a first time poster? lol @ personal reasons for ending up in jail. I know your personal reasons, you like to take it in the ass :)

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
