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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
