Just wanted to say a public thankyou to none other than Chris Rogers :)

I had my Skyline booked in with him today to have some work done after reading everyones recommendations on the forum, and whaddya know - Im travelling down the Gateway and and and... flat tyre. Pulled over, went to get the spare and its a 5 stud instead of a 4 stud. Only had the car 2 weeks, didnt think to check the spare. Der me *insert eye roll*

SO...I ring Chris to say I will be late, whilst mentally figuring out what to do to get back on the road and Chris ( the legend he is, and to my shock ) offers to go to a wrecker and get me a tyre AND brought it to me! I was sitting there thinking "Huh? This guy doesnt even know me!!"

I cannot express how grateful I am for his kindness and generosity. I had only messaged him a few times arranging my work done today, so to do this for a random person, Im just blown away.

Added to that, the perfect job he did of my immobiliser, keyless entry and boot release, to say Im stoked is an understatement. He also did a few other things for me like plug the clock in while the dash was out, the lighter light now works and he also removed a stupid switch that did nothing ( and bugged me LOL ) and replaced it with a cover.

I just cant thankyou enough Chris, what a pleasure to meet you and I hope one day I can return the favour if youre ever stranded down my way !!

Manda :rolleyes:

P.S Thanks to Col-GTSX for your suggestion - I shall be doing just that :blink: I know thats vague but he knows what Im on about LOL

Yes he is a champion, he's the only person who has touched the electrics in my cars for the last, I dunno, 8 or 9 years, and why myself and others will continually recommend his services!

I'm sure he'll appreciate you taking the time to post this up, thankyou's do make a difference :wave:

Can I just add, Chris has been more than helpful to me in the past. He flew out all the way from Brissy to Adelaide to help APS with a complicated alarm install on my car - taking a break from his busy schedule at Adelaide Autosalon. Great bloke all round and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone out there!

Got to agree with this sentiment. Chris has always been willing to help however possible.

really appreaciated and certainly the first person I would refer any business to.

The best business ethics I have ever found. Wish he was in Sydney! But then he would just be corrupted by the Sydney hussle and bussle like all of us.

Cheers and thanks

Andy

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
