Useless liars. See the poorly photoshopped pictures. I wonder what kind of legacy u lying idiots want to leave behind.

Grimadult, no make me vex o. I have run out of patience waiting for ur pic and video edit. I will ban ur moniker if u continue to keep us in suspense.

How much is front bumper for 2007 camry. How much is the front right door and the right side front headlamp

Ngcobo easy. I think you are going overboard. U r blowing too hot. I don't see how this will help tsat

GAZZUZZ, pls do u know of a good car painter who can buff clearcoat for me. Just buffing

kingreign:
Not yet baba

oga, i have warned u on that project o. Coming this morning from work.

USAutoBuy, u need to salvage your self. When are you paying and how do you want to pay. Tsat, seems u r tired of this thread.

GAZZUZZ:
people, lets calm down, and stop the attacks so we make a little progress.

USAutoBuy Please meet me on whatsapp 08033910382.

please stop this. This is already in public domain. Whatever it is, spill it here.

I have seen an incident like this play out before. Someone I know bought a flooded 2007 BMW 5 series from auctionexport. The car was not coming on or starting and he paid $2700 for it. When car got to Nigeria according to him the rewire only changed a fuse and car started working.

He is still driving it till today. This happened like 3 to 4 years ago.

Most times these auction sites will mark the level of the flooding on the car body. And the water wey i dey drive my Honda city pass everyday in Nigeria is more than flooding if you ask me.

@OP carry go jare!!!

true. But most times those marks are not a true reflection of water level but a reflection of settled water level. That is where settled flood level leaves mark on the vehicle. But most cases the flood would have been much higher but flowing. The mark is stagnant flood level

I love this thread. Learning a lot and allaying fears.

Adek15:
oh!! Sorry. Too much watching of suit.
Since it's a subpoena, GeJ shouldn't have a choice than to apart in court right? And of he lies, he would be prosecuted right?

brother me. I love that series die. Harvey and jessica

Adek15:
can't they plead the 5Th amendment?

5th what. Does this look like American movie.
This is nigeria. Ur constitution has no 5th.

NgcoboP:
Not even when inspected by a technician

yes

NgcoboP:
Thanks for the responses.

What makes it better than the VG33? Can it tolerate abuse? I know that fuel economy is same for both.

NB I am looking at a naija used one.

pls buy toks. Please. Naija used Nissan will leave u with a sour taste

Picture of the interior please. 2m

Picture of the interior please

NgcoboP:
I am considering a pathfinder 1999/2000 vs 2001/2003 what can you advise...the VG33 or VQ35?

VQ35

Eking:
Recent development. Never involved in any accident major or minor .. Been driving it since March 2015

ask for a reputable place, still check the tire and rims again. Then thoroughly check each component of the suspension

Eking:
Have done swaps.. Tyres have been inspected and certified ok

has your car been involved in front end collision in the past? Has it always been like this or its a recent development.

Check your tires and rims. If possible, transfer those of the rear to the front and see if it makes any difference. You may have a slightly bent rim or bad tires.

Costee:
Hapless thread It's just getting mired and mired into what the laymen contributors are complaining about: that is, rather pedantic.

chai. This grammar strong. Please break it down. I'm just a demeanor.

torres89:
ok

have you written a program before

so let's simulate your senerio :

i take out the spark plug from cylinder four , drive it around the block for 20 mins , no limp mode

u are happy. your test was right.

but !!!

let's consider time

time is an essential factor when it comes to maintenance of equipment.

what will happen if I drive that car round Lagos without a spark plug in cylinder 4 , for a whole day or more

will it go into limp mode

now let's program our ECU

x= engine power which is = torque

torque must not be less than or equal to let's say 200watts at a certain rpm or load condition

if torque falls below specified value for 20 mins or 1 hour

do nothing.

if x is still below specified for more than an 1 hour. turn on MIL

if x is still below specified for more than whatever.

fix gear permanently on 2 ( the essence of doing this is to prevent the engine from knocking)

I hope u can understand this simple algorithm.

now I even understand the main problem of mechanics here

they don't understand programming and how codes work

simply put , they can't program.

but no one is an island of knowledge.

thanks for teaching me this.

I understand programing algorithm very well. But u and I still don't know if what you have written is the sequence. It may, it may not. Since we are not the programmers, the factory service manual is there to guide. Thanks too. We all are learning.

NanaF:
One red flag is to stay away from people who speak plenty grammar like this. I really hope nobody actually takes their car to you here. My car is still suffering from your cut and patch work.

sorry bro. Dont lash out at him that way. Sometimes some cars have issues that need to come back for 2nd reassessment or re evaluation. Every technician knows this.

torres89:
you don't Know me really

so let me just keep it calm

probably I was sent to expose some low tech guys that claim what there are not.

did I learn about compression from the net

hell nooooo , I spent a whole year studying mechanical courses in the four walls of distinguished environment.

I also furthered my knowledge practically with top engineering companies.

so have seen the true definition of compression not just theoretically but also in practice.
not just in cars also. but big and expensive equipment.

so what's that thing u said about the internet again

if I need to sort for information I know where to look , I know where to go.

don't get me wrong, am not undermining the capabilities of the internet.

but if u have ever being into complex engineering problems , u would know the internet isn't the best place to look.

case 1
my former boss and I were once faced with a problem of a factory compressor. very expensive equipment to maintain

plus it comes with a whole load of sensors and actuators plus wiring diagram

that day I actually learnt how terrible the internet could be.

case 2

few months ago I worked at someone's company.

and he kept on preaching to me on how to lookup the internet for solutions, like I don't know how to press my phone.
well that guy has the record of the most unfinished jobs have ever seen. well since the internet is his bedrock. I can't be any less surprised

case 3

when building my robot.... how did the internet help me and my team lol I don't even wanna narrate that.

my point is this ; the internet is only good for diy. when it comes to real troubleshooting, u need not practical experience alone. but the theory and principle of operation of the system or unit.

how do u fix a cylinder that is worn out

and what makes u think one cylinder can't cause a serious misfire. that can make the car go into limp mode

have u designed an engine before or do u know the calculations involved in engine design

the white man created that thing with a lot of calculations, and u just despise his work like u are the next Albert Einstein

instead of u to judge based on fact u are drawing conclusion based on ,what we know could be an error code.

am always a learner , i like to learn and see things in a practical and logical manner.

so until u bring me a solid prove, that won't violate any logical and engineering principle, Oga u have said nothing

and as for calling my Oga honmusa

well am deeply honoured

without prejudice...

peace.

you sound well versed but all I can deduce from your whole write up is that you have very poor research capabilities. I may be wrong. Bottom line of what op said is that cylinder 4 misfire made that ride go into limp mode. Simulate cylinder 4 misfire on same vehicle and see if it will go into limp mode. That's practical enough.

kingreign:
:owherw have I been all these while?



Well, Just passing by in my lowely C230 kompressor sports.

that ride is awesome. Very awesome.

torres89:
selfish Nigerians

no one willing to accept another man's view

most people kept shouting swirl valve

well did any of you bother to read on the principle of compression and engine vacuum 2

let's stop being parts changers

what kind of mechanic looks up the internet for solutions

that's a very dull mechanic and I will say that anywhere.
1
owing to the fact that similar symptoms on two different vehicles will never or might not point out the main culprit.

checking the net should be very last resort.

only check the net for rare vehicles with silly cases.. not this easy one

the main problem here is this :

most peeps don't even understand the principle of pressure or engine compression I doubt if most of you guys understand the working principle of an engine

that's why most peeps here have a pile of return jobs
u even see cars lined up in their garage for as long as a year.
just because of their shallow knowledge on diagnosis

as for those of u who recommend the mechanic work on the engine, please kindly Access YouTube and watch videos on MRO facilities, then u will known y local mechanics shouldn't open your engine 3

am tempted to mention so called big names here who have a very shallow knowledge on diagnosis and can't tackle complex issues .
but I won't
and no one should force me too

cause have being to their garage and studied their work ethics

iin fact let me just stop

honmusa is the best 4

did you actually read this before posting. You just made a caricature of your self. I numbered your goofs. 1. What is Internet meant for and why is ur oga even advertising his feat here on the Internet. The number 1 bolded shows you were sent.
2. Where will you read the principle of compression and engine vacuum if not on the Internet. You are really not smart.
3.you still referred us to the Internet to watch youtube. What are you even saying.
4. You finally exposed yourself. Like I said earlier, you are not smart.
If you noticed along the line, poster said misfire was intermittent. He said loss of compression is responsible for misfire. Is loss of compression intermittent too? Meanwhile, the symptom that brought the car to the workshop was constant. Op, just listen to other people's input. No one is an island of knowledge. Overseas, when intermittent issues are brought to the technician, they try to simulate the problem or probable cause of the problem to produce the presenting symptom. Only cylinder 1 misfire will not make that car go into limp mode. I have an infiniti Qx4 2002 that has cylinder 1 misfire. I'm the only one that knows that cos I scanned it. You can only notice that subtly on idle.

Read the whole thread and all I can do is smh.

Na so this thread die? Neither tsat nor usautobuy updates this thread. As for lush100, when you are ready to buy a car, I will help you, for a fee.
