Bad customer service is what has pissed me off lately. Thought I'd spend some of my hard earned dollars on a PS 2 and some games at a country Big W store. Went up to the counter with the games and asked if I could also purchase the PS 2 console as well. Afterall without one my games would be expensive drink coasters. So got this "oh f**k do I have to" look from the little overpaid stuck up b*tch who had to mentally process my difficult request and walk a whole 15 huge metres to retrieve one from the store room behind the counter. Said b*tch returns after her long excruciating journey even more b*tchy and somehow manages to wrap the games, receipt them and somehow deal with the apparently hard to operate cash register. Frankly I could'nt wait to get the f#ck out of there but managed a "see ya" on the way out. I guess its hard to serve 1 customer every 20 minutes poor honey she should try working in an entertainment section at the Knox City complex in Melbourne at Christmas, that is being run off your feet and the funny thing is I've been there countless times and never had one bad experience with the staff there who actually might have something legitimate to complain about. I just dont like walking into a store to spend money which did'nt grow on a tree to be treated like an inconvienience.

fair nuff,

I used to work in retail, i managed to make good sales and get returning customers from just a little kindness and extra effort, (i just thought that was the normal commonthing to do, guess i was wrong)

dodgy importers that import and sell a car that has a faulty wiring loom.. the importer told me that they spent $2500.00 (two thousand and five hundred dollars.. not a typo) on trying to diognose a problem that the car was having (engine limiting to 5000rpm) and they told me that they had sorted it (shorting wire). on the day i picked the car they told me that the car was running beautiful. 1.5 hours later the engine was missfiring (i was already half way back to canberra when it started) and the stereo wasnt even working. trojan eventuly solved the problem (replaced spark plugs, coils and leads.. which wasnt cheap mind you).. or at least i thought the problem was solved.. it turns out that the ignition problems were only the icing on the cake.. the whole wiring loom has streched/corroded and all the pins on the ecu are bent.. THE WHOLE BLOODY THING, john said that it was lucky that the engine didnt have serious problems due to faulty wiring.. i cant believe that these "mechanics" japan bought and inspected the car and did not notice this problem and the problem wasnt picked up by the importers in sydney either.

now the poor guys at trojan (and an auto electrician whos name i dont know) have to replace the whole bloody loom from scratch using parts from supras, soarers etc

i frickn love the car but its turning out like my BMW did.. nothing stays not broken for more than a week.. really starting to strain the relationship

please note that i am not having a go at the guys from trojan at all.. they have been nothing but helpful since i got this car.. its the importers in sydney and their contact in japan that im pissed off with.

Join the club, I bought from a dealer, the fact that my car passed their shops roadworthy is laughable, but being a noob, I didn't spot the little things. So far it hasn't treated me too bad, but I am apprehensive about stuff with the car sometimes. Not a fan of my dealer at all.

Anyway, apart from that my current pet peeve, is the amount of pedestrians who don't seem to understand the concept that "Cars have RIGHT OF WAY on the road" don't even hurry across the road when they see you, and one woman gave me a death stare when I honked at them. Use a pedestrian crossing or give way to cars......

sigh.

That sux Nim, I hope you sort it out :D

i HATE this too... I always mutter under my breath " I WILL run you over" as I get closer to them... daring them to test me out lol :D People are so stupid....

What gets me wound up?

Working in a shift work environment where you work 9 to 5 for 7 days straight, but the wrong end of 9 to 5 (as in 9pm to 5am), walking out to the shed to get in the car to bolt off to work, and finding, lucky me, I've got a flat tyre. This is about the coolest thing since herpes!

I hate wankers that think they cool cuz the sit in Maccas car parks whilst dosing their cars (usually VL Turbo's, or in my lastest instance a r32 gts-t) for extended periods, the noise will really shit you off after a while.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
