Thats all we need now........more MLC offspring!!

Not sure how old you are or what experience you have but have you considered any Uni or Tafe courses. Maybe a servo job (temporary) & a course part time.

Hoist is probably the most important thing to have......a couple of strong blokes would be able to lift the thing out......maybe

Already got my nismo super coppermix Steve from Luke ENR34. Just need someone to fit it.....Gehtrag 6 speeds weigh as much as another car, lol.......so no good without a hoist

me three!! I'll need an extra couple of fellas to lift the Gehtrag out!

Mmmmmm "just thinking aloud here" .........maybe that's why Nissan dropped the 'Skyline' name from the R35 GTR......Japs maybe having similar issues over there and want to disassociate that name.

Ohhhh sorry bloke

Ha, ha thanks bud.....maybe compile a bit of Neil Sedaka & Bee Gees in the mix as well :laughing-smiley-014:

Babs made the top 10 but just got squeezed out by Dori, lol

Deano's (Mid Life Crisis) Top 5 (and I'm probably not too far behind) Engelbert Humperdink Dean Martin Khamal Julie Andrews & last but not least....."drum roll" Doris Day FTW

They'll both pay (A & B)......a good judge or ins company will decide how the proportion of blame is split.........unless B was stationary which he wasn't.

Yeah me too, I have a full workshop of tools that were gathered over almost 20 years of work at Adelaide Engine Service. So I too can build a bike or car from scratch but because I work so much these days, I don't have the time to do any major work (bike was built during 'graveyard shifts') and being self employed it costs me more to take time off work than to pay someone else to do the work.........I still don't like being shafted though!!

Like I said earlier, I have kept quiet about this for awhile now and have paid various other workshops to fix his stuff ups.

Correct.....that's 2 of us now that have been shafted by that mob......and the only reason I went there in the first place is cause he used to be a so called mate. I used to work on my Rex in his workshop many years ago and drink beer with him all day, now you can't put 1 foot in his workshop. I've kept quiet for the last couple of months but obviously its time for my rant because he's burning others as well. Having a Dyno doesn't make you a tuner. When a car is belting out that much black smoke out of the exh that you cant see the car in the workshop, you stop revving the shit out of it (hoping that it'll clear up eventually) and check your settings on the PFC.......try changing the injector values and latencys to accept the bigger injectors and maybe select the correct AFM values. When a lower hose blows off the intercooler 4 times, you don't keep tightening it up with bigger clamps until it crushes the alloy pipe, you cut off your crooked pipe and re-weld it back on straight. When an exhaust comes in with no rattles and leaves the workshop banging against the fuel tank and leaking through a hole in the brand new Cat, you do the job again, properly. No clamps or ties on vacuum lines, fuel regulator squirting petrol all over the engine bay, I had to tell him how to re-route the fuel line onto the different bigger fuel rail, his old man kept bashing iridium plugs against a steel bench to reduce the gap but ended up squashing all of them then levered a screwdriver against the very fine wire electrode of the iridium (absolute NO NO on iridiums, you never touch the electrode, $150 plugs) until I jumped in again and told him how to do it..........I had to baby sit these guys when I should've found someone with a hoist and mig and done it myself. But to add salt to injury, he quoted me $1000 for all the bolt on work and 1 day to do it (Shaun at Boostworks was a similar price, maybe a tad dearer). It took 3 days to do the job and when I went to pick it up the price doubled to $2000. He said that nothing was straight forward (derrrrr, is this the 1st GTR he's done) and that I couldn't take the car away until I paid him. I'm really tempted to get legal with this guy and serve him personally then drag him before a small claims magistrate (up to $5000 without lawyers).

great analogy

Make that 21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fair enough.....this doesn't obviously apply to you then. It's a shame you have to eat into your savings though....could've come in handy one day.

Am I glad I've got a Gehtrag!!!!!!

Ha, ha too true........you're on fire lately fella.......what you on?

Jack quit while you're behind bro.....you're killing me!!!

Andrew, that guy must think the public is dumb which may explain why he hasn't sold it yet.....he's advertising 62,000km on a 320kph speedo!!!?? Me thinks its done at least double that and who knows how good it is close up!?

Spotted HSVEATR.

Sorry to hear Son but I can't give you a shoulder to cry on unfortunately. I started work at 5am this morning and got home at 6pm, had dinner and am still up doing reports....got to be up again in 5 or 6 hrs to go to Paralowie till lunch then Lyndoch in the arvo....and I live down south! I work 6 days a week and sometimes 7. I could understand if you quit your job because you found something better, but quitting a 50hr a week job that pays $700 after tax to go on the dole!!? You're costing me Tax money Bro! If you were in 'Tangles' shoes I'd be happy to hand over the tax money.......at least go and do a course dude while you're looking for something. Sorry for the lack of understanding bud.

working 50hrs a week never killed anyone......try 80! $700 per wk after tax is not too bad for a young fella. You said you quit Son......are you still earning a decent quid now?

lol, MLC Magnum PI
