Hey, my bro is about to purchase a skyline. So far he is happy with everything and wants to purchase it. But, when he did a REVS check on the car, it said "THERE ARE FINANCIAL INTERESTS RECORDED AGAINST THE SUPPLIED VEHICLE

IDENTIFIERS

VEHICLE DETAILS MISMATCH WITH RTA.PLEASE CHECK IDENTIFIERS AND/OR CONSIDER

AUVIS INSPECTION TO ENSURE VEHICLE IDENTIFIERS ARE CORRECT.

MISMATCHED IDENTIFIERS:-

- ENGINE NUMBER

- REGISTRATION NUMBER

- VIN/CHASSIS NUMBER

what should he do ? should he buy it or walk away from it ? hes gonna go have another look to make sure the details match up.

should he be worried ? and why would the details mismatch ?

the owner brought the car from the dealers.

any help would be good.

Possible reasons for identity mismatch include illegal rebirthing. Definately go over the car with a fine tooth comb.

Theres no problem buying a car thats still under finance... just make the check out to the finance company not the seller, so you know the debt will be repaid. Thats what I did with mine :)

hrmm, okay, thnx for that. its a 2001 R34 btw.

i heard AUVIS can do a vehicle check ? where are they located ? and how much ?

another thing, how accurate are stolen checks ? what would happen if someone stole the car whilst the owner was on holidays and didnt know about it ? wouldnt i be screwed over when the owner returns to find his skyline not sitting at home ?

Thats correct... if the car is dodgy it can be repossessed off you, even though you paid good money for it, and you wont get a cent back.

When you do a REVS check, if it comes up clear, you can buy insurance through REVS to guard against it... but obviously you cant in this situation as it has shown some problems.

Just cross check the VIN against the registration details (build year, model, colour etc). If it all checks out it should be ok, but I would definately double check with this AUVIS mob. Search for it in google.

Even if it turns out they all match I'd still get it id'ed at an AUVIS.. and even then it's got debt on it.

How would you know if there was only 1 finance debt on it?

so this is what my bro should do prior to purchase:

- get a Revs check

- ask RTA about mismatched, stolen check etc

- get it AUVIS

- if everything is ok, purchase Rev search cert

after everything is ok:

- pay off financial debt

- pay owner

- transfer name of car at RTA

- receipt

stolen checks are done by RTA eh ? or does my bro need to drop by the police station ? and how much are AUVIS checks ?

He cant buy a REV search certificate if the car is under finance and there is money oweing on it... the certificate is only for if REVS returns no results.

When I bought my car, the seller showed me the outstanding contracts for the finances on the car and the outstanding balance. I gave the seller a bank cheque made to the finance company, and cash in hand for the extra (only a few hundred $$).

so my bro needs to clear the debt first before REVS will issue a search cert ?

thnx anywayz, i'll ask REVS tomroz.

Walk away if money is owing, or you may get the car repossed. Unless its a bargain and you want to get it all cleared off and stuff around with it before purchase.

He is lucky he did the search.

That's ridiculous.

Many people finance their cars, and that is absolutely NO REASON to walk away from a purchase.

Just make 100% sure that the seller settles all encumberances on the car BEFORE you buy it. Even with what Amaru did (make the bank cheque out to the finance company), it is no guarantee that the seller will pass it on and clear the debt. If the finance company never gets their money, they can still repossess your new car.

Your best bet is to put down a small amount (e.g. $500) to secure the car and show that you're serious and get seller to pay out the finance and clear up ALL encumberances on the car.

That way, you can get yours REVS check certificate BEFORE you buy the car and are 100% protected against repossession.

Not sure about the mismatching details though. That might be harder to clear up?

ummm i dont think the seller can at this stage. he needs my bros money to clear his debt(30grand).

basically, what revs told my bro to do is purchase a search certificate the day before(24hours), pay off the bank(ask for a letter of discharge after payment) and give the remaining balance to the seller.

the seller is using Commonwealth bank to finance his car. soo can my bro drop into any commonwealth bank and pay off the finance ? the REVS chick said yes, but my bro wants to make sure.

cheers

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      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.
