I dealt with him recently on an engine rebuild i performed for my car, he was most happy to answer my questions and info seeking, something ive found hard to acomplish with 99% of performance shops as people don't want to give out what they think are secrets, even with shops run by friends..

refreshing change to actually deal with someone who doesn't play secret squirell and gives a straight up, forward answer..

my cars better for it, if all shops behaved like he did, the world would be a better place, especially if they knew as much as he does..

as Denver stated, i also have just finished building my engine up at home, and he has helped me from day 1 to the final start up with awesome, reliable, unbiased, helpful information every single time i PM'd him :)

thanks gary your a true asset to the entire sau community :)

also have puchased over $2000 in suspension gear and all arrived on my door step promptly without a problem, highly reccomended person to deal with.

cheers

Brad

Well after seeing this thread I would not like to know how many PMs he gets on a daily basis. And I dare say he answers every single one of them, no matter how simple the question/answer may be.

I have PM'd him many times in relation to choosing my Autronic, to coil pack issues to simply asking if a $50 plastic Bosch BOV is any good. I have always got replies promptly and when not promptly an apology was given lol. And as mentioned he always tries his best to explain things in laymans terms, and if you didnt get it he will explain it again....and again.... never with any frustration.

Regarding the thread starters querie I have never given him a cent but have received thousands of dollars worth of information and saved a lot of money from workshop bills as well.

Jayson.......

I can be a bit thick sometimes when trying to understand a setup or installation, and to be sure, I ask dumb questions, that could be annoying to some, but not SK, he is very patient and understanding and many thanks to him.

If he offered to build me a motor I'd buy it even if I didn't need it.

EDIT

I would like one of his build motors as a spare

  • 6 months later...

dont forget that he does work for a race team, and with the season in full swing and nearly finished, they (he) would be flat out to make sure everything was up to scratch to make sure they can finish the season

maybe he has been having a down couple o'weeks and hasnt had the time or energy to reply to anything - but rest assured that when he does he will be very apologetic

Did you blow another engine Felix?

Gary's got the knowhow and the experience behind his work, so you're guranteed good results. I'd recommend him to anyone... but then again given his interests and work he'd be quite busy, so be understanding.

although I dunno if I'd recommend you to him :)

Yup.. this dude is a champion in my book too!!!!

I've sent him numerous PM's asking about different suspension problems etc and he's always put in the tmie to respond in great detail the information I needed to know... there was nothing in it for him!

He doesn't do this because he has to, he does it because he wants to help SAU... he's such a great asset to SAU.

And I get the shits at people like felxi who try and bad mouth him just because he's a bit busy. He is a busy man, but I assue you when he can, he will get back to you and you will be one very happy customer.

SK is awesome.... great for technical advice; and even better for the infamous "Auto ECU debate" :no:

You should be thankful that SK has offered you a RB30 - he doesn't offer these around to everyone and I'm sure a lot of people would seperate with vital organs to be in your position.

BTW; SK I've held onto all your PMs for future reference *nudge nudge* :laugh:

I think I've already posted, but time to do it again. Sk has to be the greatest and most friendliest person on this forum. As stated numerous times before - free advice which is always 100% correct. He even took the time to come and chat to me when I was down in Sydney! Absaloute legend!

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
