i do detailing and driving for AVIS car rental, i used to work for defence though haha, so if your there on weekends and need a quick car wash let me know :D look for one of the guys driving around in a red shirt with a yellow reflector vest :D

i often see a white r33 go past hertz/budget/thrifty area but not sure if theyre on here. also spot a black 33, think his name on here was aurora but when i spoke to him he was a bit of a rude snob so i left him alone :D

so does someone go thru the interior before it gets to you, after the car gets returned?

just wondering about lost property thats all.. I've had a bad experience!! (not with Avis)

with most of the rental compnies its the detailers that drive the cars back to the wash then do the interior so if somethings gone missing they would be the ones who found it. then theyre are supposed to bag and tag it so it gets sent up to the counter inside the terminal. if the company has dodgy counter staff then they might be to blame for things going missing, its their job to call the customer but if they see a bag labeled ipod or something then they can "accidentally" not call the customer i guess.

avis also has drivers on sometimes who drive the cars down from the drop off bays to the wash so they can pocket things aswell... not cool :( because the detailers are the last ones in the cars before they sent out on rent again they the common blame target...

thanks mang, that's kinda what i thought

does the man who walks around and takes your keys at the airport carpark ever look through the inside?

I'm just annoyed cos I dropped the car off on a Friday night and rang them on Saturday morning and they told me the car was hired out again and there was nothing they could do.

it pisses you off when you feel that they havent even made an attempt to find it for you :teehee:

ah i forgot about him, the rover who collects the keys and checks in the cars some days. he has the keys first when hes working so he can go through them. its pretty dodgy the lost property system. i just hate how the easiest one to blame is always the detailer and the others dont own up. its stupid

Just got a call from the mechanic saying that the loss of boost was caused by the fan touching the intercooler pipe... :P

Now im worried :(

Had to drive out there to explain to him how that's not possible, should have just taken my car back then...

No he wasn't that great, just got it back then.

He's come to the conclusion that my whole fuel system needs to be upgraded, even though I have a stock gts-t with intercooler, and the problem started immediately after I fitted the intercooler.

Oh well, I'll call trojan tomorrow.

Hey Rick444 I'm with you re gettin out of that workshop .... but I am interested, does the intercooler on a stock 33 make a big difference? I'm not racing, drifting, draging etc - but am interested, is it a worthwhile thing to do?

      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.

      Could it really happen......

      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...

      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.
