no offence but have you checked with Ben?

it's not a Dyno day - I don't think it's fair that a mob come down to "check it out!!"

it's a business after all (and a good one at that)

just to look at the car thats all not to look when they are doing the tune though. thats wat i mean and get together to see everyone elses cos i missed the cruise the other day. I know Alex will come down since hes in the area and some other guys in the area as well

:nyaanyaa:

But seriously, if you can't see how this may not be in the business owner's interests, then that's fine.

A lot of guys have their car worked on by Racepace, I for one try to stay out of Ben's way because he is so busy.

OK so it's not my shop but if you put yourself in the the business' shoes, they may not feel it is appropriate for people who don't own cars in the shop to wander in.

In this age of litigation, a well run mechanical workshop will not allow any non-workers into the shop because of the high risk for potential injury and subsequent legal action.

That's fine if you disagree munch, but business is business... how many of these so-called tuner shops have been and gone, that are more of a 'fast & furious' garage where everyone is mates, then BANG 3 months go by and they've become insolvent.

I think I'm done here.

just to look at the car thats all not to look when they are doing the tune though. thats wat i mean and get together to see everyone elses cos i missed the cruise the other day. I know Alex will come down since hes in the area and some other guys in the area as well

yeah mate i know Alex is close to there... maybe i misunderstood your initial post.

like i said, not having a go, but just trying to give you the heads-up that's all.

Ben is a great operator - it will run well once it's done - good luck!

Actually Ronin has a valid point.

Ben will most probably not appreciate people coming into his w/shop, just to meet eachother and look at cars. It is a place of business and he is a VERY busy person. If people are genuine about getting work done by him, i'm sure he will be very helpful, but to use his business as a meeting place, without his permission is really silly.

Just because you are paying to do a job, does not entitle you to organise meets during working hours. I'm sure you would feel the same at your place of employment :/ .

who says they are all planning on being in the workshop?

they want to catch up and have a chat to other stagea owners about all things stagea...which doesnt involve strolling straight into the workshop and getting in the way of staff.

ok guys perhaps i should rephrase. catching up after the tune right outside the workshop and not intefering with the mans job or business.

Meet atthe curbside its fine thats what i meant anyways. soz for the misunderstanding. I dont mean to invade Ben's workshop but meet up with other stagea owners (if the want to come) and chit chat outside the workshop outta of Ben's way of course. Clear guys?! Dont start on me now :/

no offence taken :D

Understand your point 100% and you are dead right. These are not the type of guys that would be hanging in the workshop (someone elses) but you're not to know that... Only reason Yudy made the call was that he lives a couple of hundred clicks out of town (and OS mostly of late) and does't get much chance to see, let alone chat to (in person) another Stagea owner. He can't very well drop the car off and head home, so that's where he will be until the job is done by the sounds of it.

I hope the boys can catch up as I know I won't be able to be there.

Cheers FFS

Yeah Yudy's typing skills are in need of some practise.

Anyway, it's not like it is going to be a mob, and it is not like they are going to be going into the workshop at all, and at no point was this ever implied.

Now you guys go have a beer for me when you get together :) I hope Yudy's english skills are better then his typing :P

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
