Yes , the rumours are correct but not for the reasons people think.

We have been hard at it for 3 years and it's time Glenn and myself took a break.

Glenn will be seeking to change direction in regards to type of cars and what he actually is tuning and I will be staying here until it is sold or will stay on if the new owner wants a manager.

He will be avaliable to tune if the need arises and we have access to a competent tuner for the times he isn't in the country.

The business is going very well ( as is attested by the brokers figures on what it's worth ) , we certainly aren't going broke and we haven't had a fight, just things change in your life and you have to re assess your goals.

We will be closed from December 22nd till January 8th and it will be business as usual.

Thanks to all our past customers , welcome to our future ones and we wish you all a Merry Christmas.

If anyone is seriously interested in purchasing a business that has excellent turnover, good profit figures , secure lease then call me direct.

I can assure you for those who are into the investment scenario , this returns far better %'s than buying a rental property :P:D

Cheers

Ken

For the time being, nothing will really change. There is no need to find another shop.

Ken will still be at the helm, and our 2 long-time technicians Andrew and Mike will be out the back slaving away, so the same standards of service and scope of work will be available.

I will be available for specialist tuning on an appointment basis through Hyperdrive. Bookings can be made through Ken provided I am available, otherwise the boys can handle the more basic stuff themselves (s-afc, power runs etc) and as Ken says we have another tuner on back-up.

So it really is business as usual.

Anyone interested in the business would be hard pressed to find a better set-up operation with a good reputation and loyal customer base. With the 2 behind the scenes men wanting to stay onboard after the sale, the transition for all couldnt be any better.

Thanks to all for the wishes.

Only 3 years but straight to the top rung on the workshop front with a solid reputation for quality work and tuning its a pity it will change hands but going out on a high not in shame like other workshops have had collapsed in. Pro operation good luck with what comes.

sad to see a highly respected shop losing its familiar faces but like the mayhoe said good to go out with a highly respected name

dad will be pissed, he was rather happy about being the first car that ever got a service there and how yous went about business (JRJ 1 - shiraz S14a, 17" sparco's, suspension work, stock mechanics) :wave:

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
