Here is a story for all Brisbane skyline owners shoudl read, I took my Car to edited to get a noise in muffler cheked out, the mechanic said i cant do it till next week so i had to wait as i TRusted him anyway when i took my car there to be fixed and i was quoted a couple of hunderd.

i dropped car off and two weeks later and a few hundred calls around to see if he finished i was told its the turbos that need replacing, so i found some second hand ones and had them put on. Luckly the way was a sau member and sold me some really good cond ones.

then i was quoted 400 to hae turbo put on. i was ok with that too. as i said car was sitting in his garage for 2 weeks, and he charged me 1200 dollars, as well as all this when i got my car back i had cracks in my sideskirts and my intercooler was not connected(had to do it myself) also cars spark plugs had to be changed as they needed replacing and had to baby car home same night as it sounded like a wrx and lost all powr .

anyway let this be a warning to all you guys edited is a shitty workshop and cannot be trusted.i am still to get an invoice mailed to me till today.

will be definetly taking it further with RACQ as well as fair trading.

of course though, what he did is inexcuseable (in lighto of what I said above - that was just a comment), also, 1200 for somethign that was quoted less, and stuffing up the car totally, and damaging it is unacceptable.

I know that if it was me, I wouldn't pay the invoice, and if he wished to commence proceedings against me, he most certainly would have a cross claim against him.

Sorry blokes. I had to remove the workshop name. It is not to be published publicly. If you're in Brisbane, please feel free to PM zilla33.

No, this isn't meant to be censorship. This is meant to stop Christian (SAU owner) from being sued and us losing SAU. Please shoot over a PM if you wish to discuss further.

Cheers! Mark

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      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

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      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.
