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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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! :yes:

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.

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.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By hardsteppa · Posted

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      A Boy's Love For His Rb20

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds

      Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.

      Wheel refurb?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
