Should have a petrol resistant foam rubber sleeve and hose clamp/s to mount it. I've not seen ANY shop including autosparkies that wire things up neat. Kindergarten kids could usually do better!!

They usually use the biggest soldering iron they can find, two rolls of dodgey insulation tape per job, have five twist joins in a 500mm length of wire, and crimp all connectors with a hammer or sidecutters.

LOL f*kn hacks!

What they figure is... if you don't see it.. it wont hurt you...

WRONG MUDAf*kRS!!!

They should take a crash course in how to unf**kthemselves.

OK OK, XXX did it. I spose its not bad to say it because i am sharing information that could be useful, as someone said if they cant see it it wont hurt them (the customer) or something along those lines. thats why i was so eager to get back in the tank and see what they really done.

First and last time to go there, wasnt happy with the service from the start.... i made an appointment at 10am and didnt leave until about 2.45.... but i spose workshops can be like that

i payed $120 for the install only... the pump was supplied by myself.

mods if u think this thread is not within guidelines than feel free to edit.

on a good note i got my FMIC installed today, happy with that and the guy who installed it

**edited by mods - please don't mention names**

I have a similar problem last workshop I left my car to gave me the car with

1 dint in the front passenger panel..denied by them.

1 window seal badly notched "drivers side"

1 side skirt chipped"drivers side"

I need to install cams/afms and retune.

I am not giving it back to these guys.

There work was good but are rough as guts on your car.

PM ME IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE IN MELBOURNE.

Probably best course of action if it hasnt been too long would be to sit down and consult with them, and maybe work out some appropriate resolution. but then again its upto how you would proceed in this circumstance. There are many and many dodgey work places, and very few that actually know what the hell they are doing with our cars and even less that will take the time, effort and care with out cars on anything mechanical. Hence why so many people do things themselves. Well one of the many things why anyway.

Noo good even still atleast you got to it sooner than later

it has been over a month since i done it, for the matter of 120 dollars i cant be bothered going back especially since they cant see it while it was installed. they will most porbably make excuses etc etc and highly doubt i will get my money back and i dont think there is anything else they can do for me.. i will just not go back there again

how much diff is the GTR pump over the stock? i would think the GTR would be easier to install than a walbro (aftermarket), I would think the GTR would use the stock mounting brackets etc. pm me the reply with the name of the workshop too. please thanks :)

walbro comes in a kit form and is so easy to install, it has a new hose with clamps, rubber mount down the bottom and pickup filter thing. also has a wiring harness with it. The hardest part is cutting the + and - and crimping/soldering them to the new harness LOL.

GTR pump uses everything the same so u dont need new hoses etc but it is slightly different on the bottom and wont sit in the cradle with the GTST rubber mount so this is where it gets ugly. If u a suitable piece of rubber and half a brain u could make a similar mount but yeah it help to have everything there when ur tank is opened up and u have no car to get bits and pieces lol

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
