imagine being bludgeoned with the cam you broke. that would make me lol

still waiting for a quote for the job. the bloke reckons it won't be astronomical, but then, i've never used these guys before, they were just conveniently close to my work

anyone had any experiences with JSA in preston? speifically, anything i should be worried about?

Oh god not pedgman??? My mate bought a car from them which was luckily quite tidy but as far as their machanical work goes i wouldnt really recommend them. They fitted a castor rod to his car and left it a little loose, over time it starting moving. Everyone makes mistakes, but its upto you. I wouldnt recommend them personally.

the mechanic who's working on my car is new to JSA, but seems to have a fair bit of experience with RB series motors in general

they finally got back to me with a quote for $430 today and they reckon it should be right to go by wed or thurs

things he mentioned were wrong:

-cas is stripped

-cam linkage thing is stripped

-timing is out by a brutal amount

-and something else which i didn't listen to because i was trying to get on to bell st from teh calder freeway

i won't be taking my car back there again, purely based on the fact that it took them a week to get me a quote, but at least it's not gonna be a ball breaker to fix

i am somewhat relieved

suddenly i am quite impressed

they did it for under the quoted price, and the mechanic waited around til almost 7pm could pick it up when i finished work

this guy really takes pride in his work. he even left the broken parts in the boot so i could take them back to the bloke who f**ked this all up in the first place. what a legend.

the boss is an ass though, i'll stand by that without question

anyway. i have a working car again. i should go check the events section :)

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
