Hey Guys,

Around 3 months ago I trusted my car to a workshop in Maylands to paint and fit an aftermarket front bumper to my 33. Initially I was happy with the end result, however about a week ago while washing my car I noticed that the paint had chipped away all over the place, seriously must be the shittest paint job ever. Anyway, I had a look through all my receipts and can't find the one concerning this particular job. Never had this happen to me before. I'm pretty sure if I rock up there and tell them they did a shit job they'll just laugh at me.

What would you do?

If it was only 3 months ago, surely they will remember the car...

I'm sure if you go in there and bat your eyelids at them they will work something out for you. :laugh:

Failing that just never wash the front of your car again. :laugh:

i used to do work at a bodyworks, post pics of the areas... is it just the clear comming of? being a bodyworks they should of used 2pac paint but iv heard that some will use acrylic, which is ok, but it could of had a reaction with undercoat, iv also heard of some places spraying directly over the gel coat which over time the paintwill come away from the bumper

it would be wise to go back and give them a piece of mind, my boss got a job done on his HZ GTS and it ended up going back 3 times!

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
