j_jza80 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Can you not plug a computer into it, and get someone at Syvecs to diagnose the issue remotely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Can you not plug a computer into it, and get someone at Syvecs to diagnose the issue remotely? You can, however they need to actually have the car with them so that they can rule out mechanical things themselves I guess, rather than going by what another mechanic has said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Did you buy this car from Brasil and have it painted white ? I cant believe the poor luck you are having with this car its unreal, im sure its going to be something silly , so you have spark , have fuel, and you say timming is correct then it should start ? but as above you have to pull the logs and see what it shows /tells you , could be just a plug / connector loose somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Did you buy this car from Brasil and have it painted white ?

It's a genuine Japanese import and has been serviced very well and has never broken on me at all since I had this conversion done. Yup, sparks, fuel, pressure, timing, everything is bang on, turns over, just doesn't fire up!

JackyBoi Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'd be in contact with Paul or Darren and see if they can help. I already have, it's gonna be taken there for Monday. Hoping it's some daft ECU related issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I already have, it's gonna be taken there for Monday. Hoping it's some daft ECU related issue But that costs money to get it there right? You could just check your self and have it done in 1 hour by just checking the logs this is just the sort of thing they are for mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I'm taking it straight to Lee at SRD to have all of the work thoroughly double-checked by a 'third party' who hasn't been involved in any of the previous work; that way I can get an honest opinion on the integrity as some say it is questionable.

Guest Budz86 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hate to say it mate but it looks that way. If the car was fine, goes to a garage and comes back with issues, it's down to the garage. Some will say you can't guarantee to quality of some parts etc but there is a reason we all tend to use experienced tuners to work on our cars, and that's to spot these issues and advise on them! I've spoken to a couple in the past about fitting certain mods and they've just refused to do it because they know they'll be issues. Now I tend to check before buying stuff to see how it works with the rest of my setup. Fingers crossed for you mate, and hopefully it's just something silly that's causing it not to start! I'd also be having a quiet word about all the hassle you've had since the conversion and see if anything can be done in terms of a goodwill gesture!

JackyBoi Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 I picked my car up today from Whifbitz, turns out it wasn't starting due to dirty plugs! Paul didn't charge me a penny for fixing it so I'm well chuffed with that Figured I'd do a few pulls as I haven't driven her for a while, and thought why not share them with the rest of you (because I know everyone loves videos) 3rd gear https://vimeo.com/125730663 Also 3rd gear https://vimeo.com/125730733 1st-2nd (with a nice pop) https://vimeo.com/125730798 1st-2nd https://vimeo.com/125730869 2nd-3rd https://vimeo.com/125730987 1st-2nd https://vimeo.com/125731083 Hope you guys enjoy as much as I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
