i had my RB25 bottom end rebuild there a couple years back now...

took them 14 weeks to do it and f*kd me around for a while, but they did a pretty good job in the end. i didnt hav a single problem with the car from the time i got it back till i sold it 14 months later.

so to cut a long story short... they're good but u hav to light a fire under their ass to get them moving

but wat do u expect from maso's ;)

Western suburbs workshops are mostly all lazy from all my expiriances with a large number of them

Dunno what causes it either.

They are all like that unless your forking out 30-40k outta your back pocket, then they wanna turn it over fast

yeah i have seen that, i have recently worked at bresciani racing and helped out a mate at msc performance, if its a little cheap job they take years, if its a 40k job, ull c it done within a couple months. I am a mechanic now and i am building my engine myself but tuning/japanese parts/advice will b good to get from creatd motorsports.

there would be better suppliers than autobarn for parts also

yeah but my brother spends big cash there and is friends with a couple of blokes from epping autobarn, so why not buy some parts for a decent price.

wasnt asking people to start a workshop war. I was asking if anyone has had past experiences with creatd motorsports and if they can import a range of good jap aftermarket products. I have met rob iloski myself and i know how good he is with building engines etc.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
