Hi guys,

Looking at a E52 Elgrand. This one to be exact.

http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Nissan-Elgrand-2010/AGC-AD-15927909/?Cr=9&sdmvc=1

Only problem is that I have not read the best things about Prestige Auto Centre.

They have provided me with the VIN number: TE52007336.

Is anyone able to confirm that the mileage is correct and the car is infact the same as the VIN they have provided me

They were the ones who got taken to court and lost for winding back k's. Also JOC found 3 other vehicles within the week that were wound back 50-100K+ from their dealership.

I would be checking service history, especially because of the CVT

I'm hoping that not all their cars are dodgy though. He claims that it has books and genuine kms.

I am skeptical though as it's a Rider model with quite a few options and its priced really low....

I wouldn't want you go out of your way. Probably better to check the VIN they gave me first, auction pictures might be a different car. If that's the case I will know not to even bother.

I've checked all TE52 cars sold in the last year and could not find this frame number in auction statistics.

I would ask them for de-reg papers and cross-check them.

    • I mean technically you don't. And you don't need a wideband if your tune is good. But this is what I was getting at. It's really hard to tune something to that degree. Narrowbands are used to take a 'somewhat accurate map' into stoich, like a boost controller, and you're really just tuning how much 'work' it needs to do, with the aim of 'Better tune, Narrowband/Wideband has to compensate less' But anyone who has ever done something like tuned one day, then DARED to drive on a day where it's 5 degrees colder/warmer, or in a slightly hillier region, or slightly higher altitude will look at their tune and "If only there was some kind of device that could compensate on the fly and hit a target to account for...." And now you know why Narrowbands, Widebands, and things like MAF's exist.
    • Maybe go log your voltage vs. RPM as you doodling around town. The issue could be your alternator is cactus which has been supplying fluctuating voltage to the rest of your car thus killing your pump early.
    • Yeah, but maybe not. Maybe yeah. Maybe not. You know how it is. I mean, if the volts are low and the pump has reduced capacity, then it will maybe not be able to supply enough fuel to keep up with your peak demand, but it really shouldn't make it go lean as you're ramping up, then catch up again. The pump dynamics are (should be) a pretty instant trade off between flow rate and pressure, and even that shouldn't matter because it is actually the job of the fuel pressure regulator to take care of that dynamic, leaving the pump to see pretty much the same pressure and flow conditions any time the engine is running.
    • One thing I do like about innovate is their ability to simulate a narrowband O2 output, great for deleting the OEM O2 and feeding that 0-1V simulated voltage back to the stock ECU. Great for PowerFC users, Nistune users that do not have the luxury of ingesting wideband 02 data. And before anyone says "yOu doN't nEEd O2 fEEdbACk iF yOUR tUNe is goOd" can GTFO.
    • The R32 ECU won't know why it is misfiring. This is likely to be a problem with the speedo drive cable. it could be broken and still driving, but lets go from time to time (which is unlikely, but possible). You could have damage at the plastic connector between it and the input to the speedo head. That's where mine broke. You could have gearbox oil creeping up the drive cable from a failed seal in the speedo drive at the gearbox. This is able to climb all the way up and gunk up the inside of the speedo. I had this too, and had to dismantle everything and very very gingerly clean the speedo out.
