You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

SO car was written off but not put o the register..seems strange.

Repairable Write off...

Cheaper for just car insurance to do a write off payout than fix it (properly).

Thus why this sale is clearly dodgy, there won't be a lot of change from $9,000 o.n.o. if it was fixed properly.

I think it doesn't have to be on the register if the car's over 15 year old?

That could explain why it isn't on the register...

WOOOOOOTTTTT MY CAR IS READY!

Time to go to the panel beaters and pick it up... Need to get there in under 50 minutes or the place will be shut... Waiting on a taxi to arrive now *impatient*

So... my car had a camry reverse into the middle of the passenger door.

It went into the AAMI assessment center on Tuesday Morning last week (19th)

It was getting a new door, and bring resprayed at a place Monash Car Center on Princess Hwy

I get the phone call that it ready to come pick up tonight.

Went there to go pick it up and it all looked good. the paint colors matched and all was well.

Car was locked, so couldn't open the door.

Accepted the car, drove it home and on the way I noticed a "few" issues.

They've swapped the inner door panel, speakers, glass, etc into the new door. The tint on the glass is scratched quite badly and is peeling (like inch long sections peeling off)

The power mirror does not function at all.

The power window functions intermittently, I'm thinking a wiring connection issue.

The panel gaps are different from the top to the bottom of the door, it varies by more than 2mm from top to bottom.

Letting the door swing shut by itself, it stops with 10cm to go.

Once fully closed, the top of the window looks to be about 1cm lower than it should be, so it doesn't go into the slot where it should go, instead it hits the bottom of the fat rubber bit.

Honestly, how the f**k can a place f**k it up so much... *sigh*

Gonna call JCI tomorrow and rip a new arsehole out of this joint.

2mm panel gap on a 15~ year old car...uhoh lol

Who could even notice 2mm other stuff sounds fair enough though. Panel beaters would have given zero fks they are useless pricks

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
