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.

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

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 :)

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
