Bunch of Silvia's, and a couple Skylines I believe, got torched over the weekend and FBI have put up a reward.

More info. over at NS: http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...showtopic=85656

Edit: For the uninitiated: FBI = Four Brothers Imports in this case, NOT the Federal Bureau of Investigation :rofl:

To be fair, I have been there a few times and they have been very helpful.

Granted I didn’t purchase my car from them, but they have lent me tools for adjusting my TEIN HA's (at that time I was just someone off the street), and sourced new parts a for me cheaper than Nissan offered.

I also ran into them at AIR and they were friendly and helpful.

I am not disputing that they may have some unhappy customers (which shop doesn’t), but my experiences have all been positive

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
