:D:)

Been waiting for 8 weeks for my car at the compliance place, in the end they said they can't do my car! WTF? Ok, now it comes to the story where I picked up my car this week monday to work on some of the stuff, first thing I saw my car at Compl*t* A*to was, "OIL", literally "OIL" all over my car, obviously they have cars that was on the hoist parked above my car, with serious oil leaks, and later that night after I serviced the car (changed oil + spark plugs) I went to wash the car to make sure it's clean, guess what, found two new scratches one located at rear RH panel, one on the front bumper lip (AGAIN!) but instead it's on the top of the lip, so obviously they have dropped the tools or something onto it.

OH! there's more, my mechanic friend had a look at the oil sump etc, he was like dude you've got a lil bit of oil leaks out there! I am like f**k! but at the end of the night we found out that, it wasn't even a single problem related to oil leaks, it was just oil sitting there not being cleaned up after they changed the oil! guess who? it was THEM! yes THEM! when they changed the freaking oil filter they just let the oil dripping all over my trans and everything! my mechanic friend kept on shacking his head saying that "These guys are f**king dodgy, they dont look after your car at all!", and now comes to engine bay, cuz this car was being prepared for regency inspection, they cut wires and just let it out there hanging without even ziptied, WTF? how can they do that? I am so pissed.

Anyways, my car is being transferred to another compliance centre, which on tuesday I went to see them and told them the story what happened to my car! they said "Oh the scratches could have been there when it was picked up at the docks", I am like, nope! I've got photos to back me up! and guess what they said, bring the car to them next week, they will see the problem and "TOUCH IT UP for a bit"! man that bit just scared the shit out of me? as I heard they got a paint spray tool just at the back of the shed which they would say to you "yup, we will take care of it, we will bring the car to someone else to do a good job" but rather they will do it themselves, which is totally dodgy as.

Now they also want to charge me for putting all my aftermarket parts back as my car has got all the original parts now for regency inspection, but really, do I need to pay them that crap? like they have done nothing to my car rather than changing oil + oil filter, and the oil level was so low that my dip stick has just got like 3mm oil shown on it? Dodgy? YOU BET!

I've had enough, moderators, please let this msg stay here for a while, I am just in pain seeing my car being tortured by those cops and I just wanna express my anger here and to WARN OTHERS. F*** them! F*** the shop. Thank you

When i had my car imported it was complied through these guys. They seem very dodgy but they done it all correct and no problems.

Only thing was the car took 5 weeks to comply, something about doTars in NSW.

But yeah, i wouldnt take my car there again.

I have spoken to the manager - Erwin, guess what, he's denying it, and saying the damage was probably there at docks, he said: "we will have a good look at the car next week, and then we will "touch it up" for ya..... fark dat shit....??

I thought you weren't ment to name the place you have bad dealings with on SAU??

Can only PM people about the place as this is a public site..

I know your pain and I am sure that we have all had a bad experience with a workshop :P

But what has happened to you is not fair but it does not mean that others will get treated the same!

Think you should edit your post and take the name of the workshop off the forum..As it is against the rules of SAU :down:

Understandable, and I've edited my post, however when u said not everyone is being treated the same? I have to say, it's actually not true, there's a guy who bought a R34 GTT from my partner, he waited for 7 weeks, he just got his car back on road like last week?!? I actually met that guy at the docks the same time I picked up my GTR.....

I've asked many other people around, they have stated that the owner is dodgy, even my current partner who sent many cars thru them has got paint scratched problems! so it's not just me, it's happening to everyone!!! :down:

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
