Hey guys, Just thought i might let you know not to go to a workshop, PM me for info. I work at a shop behind them and usually send alot of people with car enquiries there. But over the last few months have had nothing but stuff up's and complaints about there quality of work.... and have heard from other exhaust shops that they have been fixing up alot of there work... just thought i might let u guys know cause i have seen an r33 gtr in there today and haven't really seen many 'qualified' people working on it.... I am aware they are selling the business and seem not to care what happens

Sorry mate, defamation is a very real concern these days, I know it sucks but the last thing we need is SAU being sued. Guys if you really want the name of this shop, please PM redevil :thumbsup:

anyway as if u get an exhaust shop to fit ur exhaust i can do it cheaper... and wont jeapodise with shabby workmanship haha...

and with the amount of after market quality exhausts on the market like JASMA, HKS DRAGGER, X Force and even a few aussie brands like the BTMBL and even FLYN is an OK front dump piece of kit... i use the term OK loosely...

i would highly recommend the GKTech exhaust systems they are mainly for silvias.. and for $350 turbo back for a S14 u would expect problems.. the only draw back is the compound gaskets which any shop can replace with a multiply piece..

You get what you pay for, simple facts of life, people mostly goes for the cheapest price and deals with the hassles down the tracks.
Couldn't agree more Wayne :D Quality usually costs more initially, but often saves you money in the long run because you don't need to do it more than once. Do it properly, do it once :huh:

hmm id still want to take my car to a QUALIFIED person, rather than in a backyard 3rd year apprentice. Difference is quality and warranty and someone who specializes in exhausts.

Yes you do get bad shops, but you got more bad back-yarders.

i would be qualified by now.. anyway.. funny that.. last time we talked u seemed to knw alot less about ur gtr... go figure.. and ill tell u now ive got far more experience with imports than ur regular ultratune and service dealership... what do u pay for experience..??? :mrt: and ther is more than enough happy chaps on here on BC and NS.com who cna vouch for my workmanship... and if it wasnt top notch why havent i heard any complaints..? lets see ur mechanic pull GTR turbos off in under 3 hours :laughing-smiley-014: .. i thought soo. and btw thats on the ground with hand tools.

yeah +1 for mark to work on my car

thanks brendon, give me that call when u want ur work done. im off to sydney on the 11-18th as most of u knw so holiday time for me. :)

looks like someones on the back foot about their work. but anyways. im not the one going on about how good i am here when its apparent you cant tell a steel or ceramic wheel exhaust wheel apart, and neither can i.

one thing you seem to lack about what i said is that Quality is what most would pay for. sure you can rip a turbo off in under 3 hours, wooooot lets have a party and get happy that you can do that. you seem not to understand that its not about speed or how many people can vouch for you, its the fact that you buff yourself up so much about how good your prices can be, how quick you can do it..... but man, when sh!t hits the fan because you forgot to screw in a bolt, what are you going to do? offer a warranty, for the same dodgy job? yeh you would be qualified now...... unfortunately your not.

Also last time i looked at your gtr there were vacuum lines in places they weren't supposed to be... hmm workmanship, little i saw. end of discussion.

haha :sorcerer: congrats to u.

lets see u do things quickly cause u can. cause u KNOW what ur doing :) .. do ur research before stating things mate.

my GTR had many Nismo/N1 items from factory, cluster, bilsteins, N1 TURBOS.. which i think if u do ur research are Steel :) when checking mine i was looking at the exhaust wheel i confirmed with the part numbers when i traded for the type x.. got anything else to pick mate..?

vacuum lines in places they shouldnt be.? yes a vacuum line running over the engine as it was too short and it was tapped into the FPR line.. so that makes the car dodgy how.. before u start picking shit on my old CLEAN GTR look at ur 17old bucket, from memory it had a shagged box, was heaps slower than even my 180, a unsecure front bar bits of damage everywher. so i dnt knw where ur going with this.?

so much for being filo mate..

now back on topic and any other taunts please direct them to my PM box :)

:O

haha nice. do u feel big MR KEYBOARD WARRIOR...??

so far the only thing you have contributed to this thread is a statement saying that i am dodgy/ all Back yard mechanics are dodgy.

and so far you have prove nothing, uve been unable to prove that i have stuffed any job up, that i maybe incompetent, and that i am said dodgy so unless u can prove back up what u are saying i suggest u shut the f**k up as u only making urself sound like a complete tosser with the blatant attacks.

so i challenge u mate prove me wrong.

and for the record i have not worked on your shitter GTR. and it is a crime what you have done to it. and im not the only one that thinks so.

now back on topic :yes:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
