OK so sadly one of the work vans at my work backed into the front of my car,

i week or so later they backed into the back!

:woot:

so then my work said they will now pay for the back and not the front? (ARS*HOLES)

so i went and got a quote and my work said the quote was to high... so they reffered me to a place they wanted me to get a quote from

so i did...

i asked them if they will fix the front to and i will pay the extra (550 for the front to be fixed)

anyway i go to pick it up today only to notice that the front bar was a completely different one!!!! OMG

it looks effing terrable!!

I ask the man what was up with it and he said they cant get the one that was orriginally on it anymore and they had to put that one on instead.... i asked why i wasnt called about this??? (i was holding back my tears)

i told them i wasnt happy with it and that it needed to be fixed! or put the old one back on and i will go somwere else! he said the old one was thrown out!

AHHHHHHHH :P

he said i have to pay for the one that is on there and that there was nothing i could do about it!!! im like NO this isnt on this is not fixed!!

he said if i find the M-SPEC the one he cant find he would paint it up and put it on for me...

so i would end up haveing to pay for the 2 front bars! he said thats the only way... THIS IS BULLSH*T

why should i have to pay for a bar i dont want???? WHYYY?????

so anyway i am desperatly triing to hunt down the same front bar... M-Spec

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me

im carless and up 550 for nothen if i dont find one =(

get some pics of the front bar you want

and speak to slidewize imports (their a trader on the forums here)

zac could find it on yahoo japan auctions no problems

but you would have to wait a few weeks for shipping (unless you want to pay expensive EMS)

lastly try ebay or see if UAS.com.au in sydney have any suitable front bars

Name and SHAME!!!...

They should have called you to let you know they couldn't find the bar...

The bar you have in the photo looks like the same one I have... ...Maybe try Oakleigh Mechanical Repairs... ...They have heaps of strange parts for 33s... ...95684887...

:D

thats Effed, they should have called you about not being able to find you you old bar, and they shouldnt have "thrown away" your old one, thats YOUR property weather its screwed or not, some would call that theft

i have a M-spec but im using it. wouldnt have thought they would be hard to find... :P

theres a few places u can try in dandenong, on bridge road.

but what they did to u is such a load of crap....who were they anyway?...

its AMI in Keilor

i had to go to them because my work wouldnt pay for any other quote i got unless i went to them!

i didnt like the look of the place.. and i guess my instincts were right!

schiavello... never work for them.

hey man you will NEVER find this front bar!!! because the bar your refering to is for an R34 GTR...

try asking for a TYPE M front bar and you'll find that most jap wreckers will have afew of them

good luck

oww mybad :)

thanks for that!!

So you haven't paid for the current front bar they fitted?

Maybe the ACCC could help you with fixing there customer service, you got something you didn't ask for so you shouldn't have to pay for it! Although its always hard to get the money back....

Good luck finding the front bar, I've had similar problems with repairers too, they broke the headlight clips and refused to replace them claiming it was "previous accident damage".

Oh, and name and shame is not allowed on SAU.

Don't take this shit. Both your work and panel beater can't just do what they want.

Your work damaged the front and rear of your car. They pay for the front and rear of your car. They don't decide they will just pay for the back and not the front.

A panel beater cant just choose a front bar that's not even what you wanted and then expect you to pay for it (without letting you know they cant get the original front bar).

Write up a nice legal letter and kindly explain you will rim them in the asshole if they don't fix this bullshit of a job. There are options such as Victorian civil and administrative tribunal (VCAT) that you can deal with such disputes which doesn't cost and arm and a leg. Get things in writing also, write a letter to your work outlining what happened (they hit front AND rear of your car). Hopefully they will acknowledge that it happened and then you can use that against them to recoup all costs.

I hate hearing terrible work practices such as this. The other thing that i really hate also are scum (your work) who damage things then refuse to pay/dont pay for the whole lot.

Makes me angry reading your situation as you have done nothing wrong, yet you have been screwed over massively. You cant let them walk over you, its bad enough they hit your pride and joy TWICE, but to not pay all costs and then have an asshole of a panel beater is just rediculous.

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
