spoke to my mechanic today. he plugged in a stock chip and the car ran fine. it is definately the chip.

now listen to this, spoke to my insurance co and he got me thinking that the panel shop has spiked my electricals. the turbo timer spiked as you guys know and i wouldn't be surprised if the ecu did too. i'll find out tomorrow when tim tries to tune it. the idiots probably tried to jump start my car from the battery. how stupid can you be. you do not surge an efi car with leads you fools. :evil:

it looks like they might have to buy me a new pfc. :mrgreen: and test all electricals.

fingers crossed.

So when jump starting a Skyline from the engine bay, you ground the negative to anywhere but the negative tab in little black boxie thing on the left, then put the positive on the positive tab ? What happens if you do ground the negative to the negative tab then jump it ? Would it by chance f*ck your battery over big time ?

first of all you'd have a hard time jumping the 33 from the engine bay :?

simply ground the negative anywhere but on the battery and connect the positive to battery. better yet, jump start it.

it won't f**k your battery but it might wreck your electrics such as your ecu or turbo timer like it happened to me.

heard from bd4's this morning. apparently the af settings were out which means someone was messing with the pfc. it could still go either way though ie i might have to pay for everything or the panel shop might have to pay. it all depends on the insurance companies' decision. fingers crossed

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
