as the guy from GFB told me, they used to build turbo cars without BOV's anyway so it can't be that bad....

If you don't run a BOV at all (on a R32 GTS-t for example)... will that cause all the backfiring and stalling that a straight to atmo one would???

i've got a GFB hybrid BOV set to 'flutter' under about 3000RPM... the guy at GFB explained that if you keep the flutter down low the damage is so minimal you won't notice it....

yeah, that's the plan once i get these problems sorted....

Ok, here's an update for yaz guys, I replaced my rear pads on the weekend that had "1000 k's left on them...." and they where only half worn... hmmm, if that's a thousand k's left then i'm a monkeys uncle.... Luckily i did replace them though becaus i pulled one out and the pad fell off the base plate.... and that could have been disasterous if it had of happened while i was driving....

is that 14psi per turbo or 14psi all up??? I never quite understand... I know i run 10PSI but i only have one turbo ().. so that makes it easy to understand.... or is the pressure measured between the turbo(s) and the intake?....i'm confused :S

Mr R32 M-Spec: Thanks heaps man... i might end up contacting them in the new year depending on what goes on in this situation...

_turtle_: I know that they have done a few things, just not all the things on the WRITTEN CONTRACT.... I wasn't saying they tried to destroy my car I was just suggesting they tried to tune the A/F ratio in order to make the car run smoother as a part of tuning. As they managed to run a diagnostics program, i'm sure they'd be more than capable of doing so...

GTST: i was thinking along the same lines... But i never thought of the cable ties... thanks for that... i'll have a little looksie tonight and see what i can do but it wasn't really all that hot on sat arvo.... so i dunno... I thought they may have tampered with the A/F Ratio and that could be causing it to be leaning out?....

i don't get it?.... are GTR coolers aluminium? why is aluminium bad??? doh, now i'm more confused... :s

LOL... that sounds fun... Yeah, I mean if theyu don't fix everything then I'll just see consumer affairs stuff the warranty and do servicing myself... as at the moment the only reason i do the servicing through them is because of warranty... and after this experience we can clearly see that it's not worth it... Also, could you please let me know where I can have my car checked over like you did yours?... i'd like to do that and $40 is nothing compared to what you get from it so yeah... that'd be great... Luckily though, the warranty is a written contract and seeing as they havn't met those WRITTEN standards, I'm very sure consumer affairs will be on my side...

Merry Christmas to all SAU forum users and they're loved ones and a happy new year too... plz drive safe aswell as we don wanna see any mashed lines on the news... cheers guys...

Yep after market boost guage... it hit 10PSI before anfd stayed there... now it gets to about 8-9 then starts goin backwards.... The warranty is through who i bought it off (ie the people who do the servicing...)... so yeah... you see where all the big issues are here...

yeah... i am contemplating that...the only issue is the warranty... obviously the warranty's not worth worrying about if they're gonna screw my car everytime but if something goes wrong then that's where the problems are.... i've gotta ring consumer affairs and see where i stand etc....

Well, it feels almost as good as usual... (1PSI doesn't make that big a difference but watching the boostguage drop backwards is a bit scary when my foots to the floor... the car kinda feels a bit doggy now... i've noticed that it doesn't roll as well as it used to when i let the clutch out...(i can usually rev it a bit and let the clutch out to roll it slowly into a car park etc... now it goes to stall... (i think they've played with something though cause it seems to go to stall when i'm driving and come to a stop too... i don't thiunk it's the tuning on the BOV though 'cause that seems the same as b4).... I also noticed when i first got back in the car that everything seemed 'looser'...(ie clutch, brakes).... i've had a very brief look in the engine bay for the problem and couldn't find nething but i'll have a better look later....

I have to make another booking for the car to go in and have all things done properly now.... (free of charge), I am also planning to ring consumer affairs to see where i stand - as they have breached a written contract.... The oil was changed...(at least they did one thing right).... but there are many faults and i'll bet i can find many more.... So this will be a continuing saga and i will post updates.... Thanks for all the support... and i do agree that sydney workshops have only your wallet in mind but because of a written contract the only other option i have (at the moment) is to get it done somewhere else and void warranty...... I plan to see if i can have the warranty changed through consumer affairs and have the servicing done elsewhere as these guys also seem to do more bad than good... P.S. Can anyone suggest what the boost issue could be???

Hey guys, Had my car in for a Major Service yesterday (sat)... The car gets serviced every 3 months (swaps between minor and major) as a part of the warranty... In the warranty book they have written down exactly what they'll do in a major service... had the car in yesterday and... When i went to pick her up i asked the guy what they said was wrong with the air-con...(hasn't worked properly since b4 i got the car)... "oh, they didn't check that" he says... "but it's written down on a CONTRACT right there that you will check it" I reply... oh, he says, well... ummm.... Then he tell's me i have 100k's left on my rear brakes... I asked him why they didn't tell me they where low at the last service (3 months / 4000 k's ago) and asked whether they'd actually checked it then... he stuttered and threw a heap of crap on me.... Then because i was shitty about the air-con situation I told him if he changed the brakes for free i'd forget it... but he only offered me $20 off that... So, i told him to come and look at the car with me b4 we went any further... Open the bonnet, "you change the sparks on a major service don't you" I asked... "yep" he replied... then i said "well, I can tell from here that they havn't touched the head... It's as dirty as it was a week ago (so they can't have degreased it) and there's no fingerprints/grease prints etc... Then he says "oh well they just do a diagnostics program and if all the cylinders seem fine then they don't worry".... Then, drive out to Castle Hill.... Hmmm, she wont hit full boost...(stock engine)... gets to about 8-9PSI then starts dropping off (with the foot to the floor)...... Then, get home... open bonnet again... hmm rusty fuel filter... but that's supposed to have been replaced with a new one?.... Back on the phone AGAIN!!!! End story... he gave me $20 off the service for not checking the air-con... and i have to take it back so they can get the specialist to check and fix the air-con... also they have to look at the boost problem now and they have to put in a new fuel filter... Hows that for a pain in the arse?! feel free to post whatever comments, suggestions you have... Also, does any one know what the boost problem could be? (car has 3" catback and Hybrid BOV, that's it.....HELP!!!) cheers, Dave.

What's the difference (other than the fuel mapping for aust petrol)?

kool, but what about the dimentions?

cheers

lol... that'd be nice until you actually hit boost and your engine shits itself...lol... it'd pull damn hard if it worked though...lol

Good to hear man... but it sucks that you have to go through it in the first place... Can you pleez PM me the name of the place you've had trublz wif as I'm starting to get a bit paranoid...

I'm thinking of putting a GTR cooler on mine... I figure i only wanna run around 12-14PSI (GTR runs that) and it should virtually bolt straight on no worries... Plus I only wanna take the car to a max of around 200RWKW (for the time being) so the GTR cooler should do the trick...

I have the clutch problem to...(like Damo)... any idea what this is?....
