i already had all the parts, just needed someone to piece it together

since when do u have a misfire problem and budget $2k for it?? obviously your not telling us the whole story. i get my car tuned there and tom is nothing but helpfull.

If they wouldnt touch your car then im sure it was for good reason, you make it sound like they wouldn't just because they wernt in the mood.

yeah like I said I never had anything major done there, but the times I have dealt with them they were great. one example. about 5 or 6 years ago I needed a harness for an HKS turbo timer, BD4s were the only ones who had it. My old man went and picked it up for me (cheap part, maybe $25) and Paul asked him to wait for a minute, went back into the shop and pulled out an english copy of the user manual for the thing (about 20 pages) and it was spiral bound and covered etc and just said, here take it, you might need it. I thought that was nice.

i was talking to my good friend about this subject and how people are making a big deal of it so i showed him the post people have made ,he laughed his head off because he knows these guys well really well he was there many years ago working as a mechanic well be for most of you guys probably had license ,somethings people have said early in the post is true but most of it is crap.(his words not mine)he told me what happen and from my understanding it was a long time coming unfortunate but necessary . there is a moral to the story but he wont let me tell it.(long live the memory of bd4s) :P:)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
