Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Its shitful to hear how they're treating you Mitch. Ruby is spot on though, but would be very interesting to find out if their workshop carried any insurance? If it doesn't maybe thats why they said to you about your own comprehensive insurance?

Hope it all goes well for you mate and you can make some sense of all this disorder. Keep your chin up mate

i would if i could...

apparently my car has to have comprehensive insurance to be covered there and that their insurance doesnt cover it?

pm me if you like Pete

cheers Krishy :)

who says.......Dave & Mike??? :P

What if they only had your engine on their premises and it was stolen.......you can't comprehensivley insure an engine!

Speak to consumer affairs......your car was secured on private property, not driven on the road.

correct.

keys were in the ignition of my car and all the other cars in the shop which even if i did have comp insurance on it , wouldnt do shit...

What sort of workshop leaves the customers cars overnight with the keys in it???.....the only reason they are prob trying to say that your insurance will have to cover it is most likely because theirs is void as they didnt practise according to the agreement with the insurance company by leaving the keys in the cars....and since yours wasnt the only one they had left in the ignition makes me kinda sus.......

When i had my car at tilbrooks (back when they were open) my car was securely parked and keys properly locked away....now thats professionalism

if anyone can recommend or give me legal advice that would be greatly appreciated.

PM answered Mitch.

First step is to make a police report. List all damages/items stolen. You'll need a report number.

Second step is contact Legal Aid for some initial free advice. Ask them about the conditions of Liability Insurance and cover for the "cost of damage to customer cars". There should be Liability Insurance for such a situation, and you should be covered under such a policy.

Lastly, this will not be over in a short time. This can and will drag on for a lengthy time. The most likely scenario is that you will have to pay to get your car back on the road and can/will be reimbursed later. Keep all receipts/records of transactions.

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing

      I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
