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.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
