Called them up. They want to charge me $500 for installation and machining on flywheel. I was like "WTF!" , laters

$499 of that is simply due the pain involved in getting the top starter motor bolt back in.

If you've ever had to do it you'll under stand! :D

Well I have no idea how much a clutch install is worth, but Bens time is definately worth whatever price tag he puts on it. I guess you could go to any unknown mechanic that probably sells stolen parts and breaks/steals a bunch of other parts on your car while they're at it, so you keep giving them/losing money for months, but ultimately you pay for quality.

Of course some mechanics charge more than you'd expect and yet still do an extremely crappy job, but I've never heard one complaint about Racepace or their work, unlike most other 'performance' workshops in VIC.

bcc23 is obviously paying to get it done.

So another obvious, he has never done it himself, just another internet mechanic ;)

Wonder if he can fix my browser, it wont stay the size i want it to :)

No ones forcing you.

Get it done wherever you want.

Im happy to pay the price for the best GTR workshop in Australia to work on my car. Considering the time & effort Ben has put into my car over the years & the care and attention to detail its received when there.......

Sounds like you have been going to the wrong mechanics, don't put everyone under the same banner :).

Not all good, honest, mechanics charge top dollar :cheers:

How many people here can honestly say they have only used the one same mechanic for the last 6yrs, and not just to do oil changes, i am talking serious modifications.

Still waiting...

Unfortunately you had a major falling out with Vic, but I heard two different sides to the story. Before the parting you were very close to Vic and George, so if you have anything else to add I am more than willing to listen. As the falling out between both of you was personal, I decided to keep out of it and hopefully remain friends with both yourself and Vic.

To date I am yet to see/hear any justification why I should go elsewhere. His work has been A1 with reasonable prices, and my car has been proven to be a very neat and strong formula. Not saying he is perfect, as every one/shop has a few irritating moments, but at the end of the day the "whole picture" is completed to a very high standard.

If you have any information to the contrary I would really appreciate it if you told me directly, and in private.

Well said Rod.

Thread closed. Its quickly turning to shit.

I have my own views on many places around Victoria as i've used many and only found one to be worth the money.

cheers

      How To: "Refabricate" a Stagea 260RS/R33 GTR Speedo Sensor

      By aznriptide859 · Posted

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
