Yeah, Tony works in the sleazy, sidle up to you, get you drunk and promise you the world side of HR.

I am trying to get into the other side where I tell him being sleazy, getting drunk and promising people outrageous stuff is bad. And then I right a new company policy outlining said issues and why they are bad. Then I take my fourth coffee break for the morning.

I can spell IT and that's about it. Accounting Recruitment and Management Consulting specialising in CA firms :)

How far is the GT-R from completion?

I see.

Well at the pace Gavin is doing any work on the car I have calculated I could go on a nice European trip for a month and it would still not be finished :verymad:

I did not want to blab this on a public forum, but I cant help state that I am extremely disapointed with the level of customer service (how I have been treated) considering I have paid b$g $$$ upfront to get the car completed.

Having my peformance parts stolen has also really pissed me off and considering I haven't seen a cent from the $nsurance coy is not helping my frustration nor helping my experience of this.

It sure as hell is not a complicated job and has all the parts necessary to complete it.

not fkn happy!

When do I promise outrageous stuff? I deliver thank you very much.

I see.

Ouch. Not good at all mate! Did you fork out from your pocket for new parts or did the mech pay?

I forked out the $4K+ myself :unsure: and got parts back within a week after the workshop was broken into (so much for being proactive)

what Gavin needs is some one standing there and tell him to work faster. :)

also paying $$$ upfront is just asking to be ripped off.

I feel that it was a mistake now to pay upfront. Although in my world, if someone pays me upfront I will make sure your looked after :dry:

TBH, I believe problem is that the workshop is not what it used to be say 5-7yrs ago where he had other mechs working for him and turning over cars really quickly.

He has since downsized significantly (from my observation) which makes sense due to the the past i.e. GFC and current econcomic climate, however he is still taking on the same level of workload when he is already at full capacity.

Also being told that things are being done when they are not, doesnt impress me. Just don't BS me!

<blahblahblah not happy jane>

now days I try to do as much car stuff as I can without going near any workshop, "aint nobody got time/money for workshops" ;)

his other mech in the old days installed cams wrong somehow, as I was told later on by the guy I sold the car to. So no big deal.

that what I have been doing and saved a lot of $$$. Plus I got to learn new things along the way.

strange you say that about his previous mech. as my prevoius engine I got them to do a fair bit of work including installing new Tomei cams (when he had several mechs) - never had an issue and car just kicked more holden ass on the drag strip :P

same.

tomei cams, previous mechs, 225 wide zero traction bobjane tyres.. 112mph.. none of that ghey 103.something mph ;)

225 wide :woot: F@#k me dead!

Did 12.4 at 119mph cant remember sexty foot time (wheelspinin all fours IIRC) - smashed that holden commie with slicks and supercharger by half track and even asked me if I had nitrous in there because I flew past him. I just told him "no. just boost" ;)

yup awsome 2.6 60ft time is where its at with shitty tyres ;)

some of those holden drivers are actually nice and will give compliments, unlike douches in jap imports thinking they are top shit.

i did the usual tail slide every gear change and went past a commie just before the end. he was impressed :)

    • 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.
