Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone has used this service before -'Adelaide Vehicle Inspections' - http://www.adelaidevehicleinspections.com/

Main things for me are paint thickness test and compression test.

Interested in some feedback if possible.

Cheers.

The guy that just bought my Skyline used them.

I was actually really impressed by the AVI guy. He does quite a few imports each week as well.

I spoke to him quite a bit while he was doing the inspection. He knows his stuff and is quite thorough and fair.

I was quite impressed :)

I find him to over compensate for small items.

He told me my car should be a write off and that it had been structurally cut. In the end when I got the pictures he meant the front reo bar had been cut to fit a FMIC.

Also said that the odometer didnt work at all. After a for a 5km drive with a GPS and it was within 100 meters at the end. There was a list of about 7 items that were either incorrect, misleading or over stated. The new owner and I went over the car with his report and in the end his report was a fair stretch from any truth. In the end the new owner bought the car and put the report in the bin.

He also didnt show for 1 inspection than arrived 20 minutes late for a second inspection. No notice was given for each and I had to chase him both times.

He is the cheapest but I would avoid him. Possible even organise a tow to pick and drop off at a workshop, or owner to drop off/pick up.

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
