Finally got the Bonnet to the guy roughly 2 weeks ago..

Gave him a call yesterday to find out that he is closing down..

And has until tomorrow to get out of the shop.

My car is not finished, early touched.

sounds like you should get your car out of there and go somewhere that has a reputation and that wont mess you around. cut your losses and start over. it'll be expensive and you'll loose a bit of money, but you wont get messed around......

I agree however in this case which i have pointed out IT SHOULD NOT MATTER... if he is not at fault and as long as he had 3rd party insurance his insurance company should be doing ALL the work. I know when i got rear ended by some woman in a BMW with my first car i only had third pary insurance however i got her licence number and rego details passed them onto NRMA and they sorted the whole thing out all i had to do was go get a couple of quotes to fix the damage...

Although it would have probably been fixed quicker he had full insurance :D

ps this is not rage at anyone here it just amazes me that andrew has had to do some much of the running around himself considering he was not at fault

/end rant :cheers:

Moral of the story:

Full comp insurance saves your time and your money!

I am surprised that Andrew is doing allot of the work and I admire his efforts but i felt he should have contacted the Insurance agency by now and get them do their job- what he pay's them for!!!

But Andrew - hats off too you!!!

getting parts- now the shit with spay painters

Frustrating!!!

Now that more serious money is being thrown around then

Let the insurance people step in and do their thing!!!

This is a lesson to us all!

(sorry dude but I had too!)

{No! I don’t work for an insurance agency}

Unfortunately this isn't always the case as I had full comp insurance when I had my accident and it still took 10 months and my constant chasing up to get something done about all the problems I had.

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
    • 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
