Yeh you were the guy at the Old skool, new age show at the autobarn booth thing? Your car looked pretty nice from what i remember. Always asked for the other dude in autobarn cos i thought he owned the 33 LOL I was in there not that long ago asking about O rings for fuel injectors, think it was you that i asked.

But yeh, i'd rather go there then to supercheap, nothing against supercheap, just know my way around autobarn and havn't had any problems with them.

haha yea my 33 was there and i was on the booth all day.i think i remember the 0 rings lol.

mate you probably could've said all that without the moron bit.......especially after telling Ryan and everyone else on here where you work

i dont see how me calling him a moron will make a difference in any thing.

Ryan was trying to wind him up and he succeeded... no harm no foul. The 200% bit was said in jest and so (I would Assume) was the moron bit.

how ever he is correct.

soOOoOoOo.. anyways.....enough about AB what about car toys -,-'zzzz... damn over priced products! lol

If I walk into a place and don't see prices shown on the products, I leave straight away. Car Toys is one of those places :nyaanyaa:

Not when its "customer feedback" :P

its not customer feedback when its on a forum......its customer feedback when its gets directed back to the business you dealt with

having said that.......stating that Car Toys are too expensive is not slander (I tend to agree)

but flaming staff and their business practices can be seen as slander :)

Its called freedom of speech. "Customer feedback" or "slander", either way there's alot of unhappy customers.

If their service is shit, then they'd have to expect to be flamed ... starting on forums.

I'd want advice on whats hot and whats not and where to shop. I don't want to be answered on "should I buy an intercooler from Autobarn" with an answer like "No, but I can't tell you why, because I might upset someone". :P

I dont want to cause any more shit fights about slander but if someones had a bad experience with a particular vendor, i would like to know so i dont run into the same problem. Everyone has their own opinion about certain places but feedback is good.

agree

Dont the rules state to use the PM function to inform people of "bad" business's?? By all means make a thread if your unhappy but then wait for people to request PMs, until the workshop is bagged! If people dont care if you or someone else has been miss treated then thats their bad luck!!

Your right feed back is great, but rules are rules!!

Its called freedom of speech.

You maybe surprised to hear that there's no such thing these days.....we're all accountable for every word that comes out of our mouth these days and its all because of political correctness and the way we've followed America's litigeous ways.

I agree Ryan, I would like to know if someone's a shark out there also but thats what PM is for unless we can give details of a specific incident and back it up if challenged about it.

Random flaming of a business is slander and against forum rules whether we agree with it or not.

I actually agree with you guys about important info being passed on but it has to be accurate and substantiated or else inoccent businesses and people can suffer from it and any loss they suffer in their hip pocket can result in a compensation lawsuit. Magistrates are overcrowded with this stuff everyday.

This is a pretty interesting subject so I'll just add another thing.

You'll be surprised how easy it is for someone these days to get money out of you.

If you slander a business and their sales happen to go down as a consequence or on the other hand if you slander a small operator and he decides to stop working due to stress, they can file against you in the Adelaide or Elizabeth Magistrates Court for up to $5000 and serve you the documents personally without it costing them a cent because they wont necessarily need a lawyer for that amount and you don't need to be licenced these days to be a Process Server, anyone can serve you a summons.

Food for thought........

If all you clowns out there think for a second that nothing is marked up by more than 200% then your all on crack........

Most items are either marked up by MORE than 200% or if the price is falling then its being made by cheaper resources(due to inflation), and even then it will be making more than 200% profit, Deal with it, or make it yourself!! and besides you gotta expect the "bigger" joints to charge more, just like every other thing in this world!!

Yeah too true Darren, its called a monopoly......and I'm not referring to the Parker Brothers variety either :)

The worlds gone soft, that what it is. :)

Sounds like the above-mentioned AB store is on its way out anyway. I don't think its slander, but point taken.

:(

Tis indeed food for thought however they'd have to prove that your opinion isnt based in fact (and therefore becomes slander) and then once that is proven, they'll have to prove that the slander directly caused a loss of profit. And if they do decide to sue, you can countersue for emotional distress and other nonsense.. if it is in print it's Libel anyway, and to be considered 'libel' it needs to be published (which I'm totally not sure whether a forum is considered published, my gut tells me "no" as there isnt an editor that vets the post before they're made public)

Anyone here a lawyer? Its ok, u can admit it. We won't hurt u >:(

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
