Bezender: You also need the vin, engine and plate nos to do a vehicle security register check... I wouldn't buy a car from someone who failed provide those details as you risk having the car repossessed. You may have cost yourself a sale there...

you'd be fine Carl......worse come to worse, you sign a stat dec if a fine comes your way with proof of sale....end of story

I sold a Honda Prelude years ago and incurred 2 speed fines over a 6 mth period cause he never did the transfer.....all I had to do is provide proof of sale bud

im just overly cautious cos of where i work, and i get to see what happens when it goes wrong first hand. Im happy that i have myself covered

+1

When I bought my GTR off Writeoff, he happily gave me all of those details because I needed them a) to get the secured loan and b) to insure the car with shannons so that I was covered *the moment I got in the vehicle* (wasnt gonna fall into THAT trap after doing my 12 months of research)

And if he ever had any problems, he could have always printed out his bank statement showing a 5 figure bank transfer from my bank account...

cash sale, and i believe he will not have it on the road straight away

I see where you are coming from. however its a cash sale and its a bargain for him. im not concerned if he pulls out as there has been so much interest that i know i caould sell it almost straight away and possibly for more than the current sale is for

Tobias - I really doubt that youd have a problem getting off the defect with the nistune ecu internals. They wont be opening up your ecu to check inside. Having said that, might pay to wring some wreckers and see if you can find one if you feel that you need another stocker for spare.

Carl - if I didnt have the details (vin, engine number, rego, etc) then I certainly wouldnt go through with a purchase. That information is needed for a check on ownership, check on finance outstanding, and insurance coverage. All the best with the sale though, hope it doesnt hang around too long - like my bloody house sale!! :domokun::rant:

I had understood the issue was that the existing nistuned ECU was configured for a Z32, which is unlikely to pass through Regency - hence trying to find something 'stock' to put a regular AFM back on to get off defect ..

Found a stock ecu (i have the part number off mine), but need stock injectors, stock turbo (with standard non braided lines) and then i can use the stranded afm.

Cost of turbo is $850 for the r34 turbo near new eg 55,000km

Cost of injectors was quoted $100 each :\

Cost of ecu $200

Going to go through with the z32 afm (de snickered) and see if they say, if they give me the list than they give me the list. Ill work it out from there.

if he didnt ask for those details with the pretense of registering the car himself i would not have a problem with it at all

and thats why im not putting any more power in my car

its really not worth it

if you have to rip it out again

when some :rant: wants to fill his pockets

heres a story for you guys

My mums best friends daughter is a police officer

she came to dinner one night

and discussion arose about my car and defects

i asked her " what makes you want to defect there car, besides obvouis visual defects"

"pretty much if the driver give me any lip at all , i will find something to send them to regency, i really dont care"

at that point i was like :dry:

finished my bite

stood up cleaned up my plate and walked off

my mum was like "where are you going" everyone listening

i replied " i dont have dinner with :rant: (swear word) cops"

the look on her face was priceless

:pwned::yucky:

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
