ITS NOT  AN ACCIDENT REPARED CAR

Thats what I thought, sorry I wasnt doubting your kanji translation. ylwgtr2 seems to think its a smashed vehicle. So they give out Grade 4s based on a lucky door prize now do they?

Isnt that the whole point of the grading system to pick out the good cars from the bad and damaged ??? (insert super confused smiley)

ok then.........get this.....I repaired a 2003 nissan primera with 242klms on it in 2003.....it got sent to USS after i done it and it got a grade 4 :S........ something is wrong....why is it in the 4000 section?It may be there due to the question mark in the klms......Do you have the original sheet or is it a copy that has been emailed to you?Im not doubting your translation eitheir...just from what i have seen 1st hand these papers are "only a guide"and should be looked at with an open mind when buying

and blacky's paper also has a ? for the klms but its not in the 4000 section....and there both in considerably fainter(is that a word???) in writing....As the guy in the cadbury chocolate ad said "why is it so!"...it would be nice to actually pin point where the problem be if its my mistake,dodgy paperwork or whatever the case may be

Thats the one I got sent via email. Ive seen that question mark high lighted on other auction reports, ill see if I can find one.

The Supra I bought from Nagoya, according to j-spec the numbers 4001 - 4500

and 4501 - 7999 are at the "Green 2 block", and 1001 - 1500, 1501 - 2999 are the R graded vehicles.

your supra was from uss nagoya 29/10 @ 805,000yen ..non accident car ..mileage is correct...different uss auction have different lot numbering ...uss tokyo accident cars start 5000 #.... nagoya as above (j-spec)...question mark would be circled if mileage was sus and mileage unknown would be on auction sheet....settle down don`t listen to legends youve got a nice car there

Dam, if I can't trust the auction grade I'm screwed.  

Haven't bought the car but it will put me off getting

another Skyline if I can't rely on it.  

How can we resolve this one?

Stick to the grading system, and get it looked at, or ask jake, he really knows his shit.

I7B is airbag, im 100% sure of that one.

Thanks for the help jake, got rid of the confusion.

sorry blacky - I've been at a work seminar most of this week. If I get a break next week, I'll see what I can do for you. As I (think) I said, I've got the majority of it worked out - but I'm going to show a native the things I don't, as I simply can't deceipher the handwriting.

However, I have a feeling it's largely in 'auction sheet code/shorthand' - and is not going to be understandable for the people I can show it to

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
