Sure so they gave me the invoice for the full payment of the vehicle and said that, that is the legal contract and that's it. 

Is this all the same car? Its unregistered, it's got holes cut for cooler piping? 

Might be time to find another car. 

Is the car on car sales? I'm just curious what you've been looking at.

Bah! The reality is that punching a hole in a piece of sheet metal, and then putting a piece of pipe in it, does not "structurally compromise" the car. Sure, putting a hole through a chassis rail is n

Hey all, I hadn't mentioned that I bought the car and it all went well though the seller definitely came across as dodgy and kept changing things. I ended up getting proof of ownership so there was no

I have a few questions.  Is the car modified or defected (or defected in another state)? What do you mean blue slip is provided by the seller? You either need a pink slip or a blue slip, the

Yes same car. No it's private, it will come registered (i managed to sort that out). It does have a hole for the piping but I'm happy with how it's done. It's not drilled into the rail.

How does the dealer come into this?

But they are selling it privately and not through their dealership? 

They haven't put it up for sale yet so they happened to message me prior to putting it up for sale, let's say it's not a traditional dealership, just some guy with a dealer license who has a few cars.

Yeah ok. 

I've typed and deleted quite a few things now. 

I think I'll just go with, I wouldn't go down that path. Everyone has to choose their own path though.

I happened to also modify some of my notes. No problem thanks for your help though. I might seek some legal advice on it.

Do you mind saying what the car is and how much they are asking for?

In Qld if you sell more than 6 cars a year generally you will require a dealers licence.

I bet its one of the kids that has access to large sums of dollars from "undisclosed parties" that buys cars and flips them from industrial sheds.

Buyer beware as some of those types of cars go missing after being sold...........

Hey all, I hadn't mentioned that I bought the car and it all went well though the seller definitely came across as dodgy and kept changing things. I ended up getting proof of ownership so there was no worries there, but a fair bit of servicing is required which will cost me a couple of grand. Car I bought btw was a skyline r34 25gt turbo. I'm not going to make the same mistakes I made last time, and will get a proper mechanic who specializes in these vehicles to do all the initial stuffthen I'll do servicing from there onwards. 

Thanks to everyone for their help as always.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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...
