Granville Tuner Matter Resolved. Thanks For All Your Support


Recommended Posts

I recently got to speaking about a bad experience with a tuner who has a vase full of turbo wheels on his reception desk. Interestingly Ive had 4 others tell me about the same vase and similar experiences.

So; anyone else cop the same teatment.

PS: if you dont know what Im talking about, then you havent been to the tuner, and there is no need to worry.

Just say the tuner.. Save me alot of worry..

Why does he have a vase full of turbo wheels? Just because he like blowing his own turbos or enjoys watching peoples hard earned cash fly out the window?

lol

So why start a thread then

I have copincidentally found 2 EVO owners, one RX7 owner and an XR6 turbo owner who had the same trick pulled upon them that I had.

I just want to know if anyone with a skyline has had the same problem. Hills Motorsport says that 2 other Skylines have been hauled into his workshop with these problems, and like me, they are suspicious about this tuner.

NB It is of course not the very reputable Hills Motorsport.

I dont want to turn it into a discussion until the court case is settled. But Id love to know if anyone else has had the same problem.

Remember if you dont know what this thread is about, then you wont have had the problem.

I still dont understand why you posted the thread if you cannot name, or wait until court case and yet you want to discuss.

We havent got much info to go on here.

And my car is sitting in a workshop right now and how do I know its not this place you are reffering to?

yeh give us the name or at least the story of what the problem is, all we know now is there is a dude tuning cars with turbo wheels on his desk and there is a court case involved, give us some info

lol,

Just out of interest; what prompted you to hand over the keys to the guy behind the desk when he had a vase full of turbo wheels sitting next to him?

i don't think it's yavuz either, evil. He doesn't have a desk or a vase :)

The matter is progressing through the courts at the moment and should finalise in about 10 days. So I dont want to pre-empt any legal process.

hahah yeah right.

NSW legal system for dummies; Civil court 'can' have juries, made up of 4 jurors, but this is rare. So unless the judge is surfing SAU, and you are giving information that has not already been submitted pertinent to your case, which i doubt you would do, then you won't be pre-empting legal process.

But on the area of defamation, that is a separate issue.

So if you said, 'i went to 'V8s rule Workshop' and my car blew-up on the dyno, and are taking them to court over a concern regarding potential malicious treatment', that would be fine legally for a couple reasons because you are stating what have become public civil court records, you are stating what has happened/happening and importantly you are not making a preemptive decision on the outcome.

But because it's not forum rules, and i know if I was the workshop and had potentially killed your engine, i wouldn't be very happy with the kangaroo court that these things turn into on forums.

Oh for f**ks sake... IF YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE THREAD IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT or IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE WORKSHOP, SIT TIGHT, WE WILL KNOW IN ABOUT TEN DAYS BUT AGAIN, DO NOT WORRY, I REPEAT....f*kEN RELAX.

:end rant:

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
