I am waiting for a call back from them. My car is still with them and when I try to call them I am getting their answering machine, they must be on lunch.

What was going to be approx $80 and 1 hour to be done while I wait has turned into $220ish and all day.

If the quality of the work is good then I have no problems with the extra time, I will just know better for next time.

[markimak]

yeah workshops do that to u.. whatever u get quoted is surface price.. they'll rip it apart and charge u seals that look half dry and ull be hit by a 100% price hike..

wat fluids u using... u supply ur own or they did?

[WazR32GTSt]

its hard to find a workshop these days that will actually use communication skills

that's why i was amazed when i used elite racing. dan called me to give updates and called before even thinking about charging more than quoted so we could discuss my engine plans and his plans. A1 communication.

what are u getting done???

[Benno31]

Got the car back. No unauthorised work was performed. They looked over the whole car and printed out a list of minor things that need doing.

All seems good. It was a good experience all round.

showbag,

I had to get the gearbox and atessa system drained, then have the atessa system flushed to remove the gearoil that was put in it.

i reckon hes got a massive cheesy grin plastered on his face, the same one as the first time he got laid.

hell i would if i was driving that gtr

[Rhinorebel]

Is it really THAT different from driving a well set up GTS-T????

If it is....... I will have to see for myself then......

You are assuming Ben has been laid. I believe he was the inspiration for the "40 yo virgin" movie.

i dont think it would be that different, but i just love bens gtr, its the only gtr that i truly like.

[rusk]

Try Matt at Predator Motorsport in Moss St.

I got a bit of work done though him he seems to know his stuff.

Just because I was smart enough to not implant my seed and prove how bad it was doesn’t mean I haven’t spread it around on occasion!

Yeah the car is back on the road, sorting out the next bunch of go fast mods now to be fitted over the next 4 weeks.

If anyone has info on using RB20 Air Flow Meters on a GTR then please PM me.

Charlies is still there?? i thought he went outta business is shop looks really empty and have 4 sale signs up.

[bretto]

hmmm, ive heard that from a couple of ppl but that was a few months ago and my car has been in there to get tuned since then and i didnt see any for sale signs nor was i told they were shutting down. thats not to say it hasnt happened. my car was in there about 4 weeks ago so something may have happened since. shame if they have shut down, dave is a great tuner.
