Yeah its worked before but it required allot of time and effort going into the editing of the thread...

There were always changes needing to be made to company details and then there was the constant "bagging" some users decided to spam so hence it was a bit of a time waster for the mods/admin...

Biggest problem was "business traders" pay to advertise on SAU and yet we were seen to be giving away free advertising in that particular thread... Also as Marc said some people would swear by a workshop and then you get someone pop up and say "can you remove their name cause i dont like them or they did me wrong" etc etc...

We could never meet everyones expectations so we canned the thread...

But as for these threads popping up, thats fine... Just reiterates how good a workshop is, and still is...

Hey col what about a sub forum where every workshop gets its own thread, no stickies and people can leave comments and feedback in that workshops thread?

Its a great idea, id suggest posting it in the "Ideas & Feedback" section tho as it could be a viable solution for the entire SAU community.

I would now like to take back what I said. My car is pain in the A$$ to drive. It’s actually worse a real nightmare. After more than 3mths later getting my headwork done because off a broken valve and after parting with 10k+ I got on going tapping noise from head work and after the new tune I now get about 250km per tank before I use to get 440km I don't care who you are and what you say I will hunt you down a standard gtr32 with only new small turbos GT2860R - 7 garretts should be able to make 400km+ with same driving. Before anyone saying anything I have taken it back 3 times I will be taking it back again next week as I can't even afford to drive the dam thing less alone hear that irritating tapping noise from incorrect valve adjustment which is part of the head work. I will update this once it is sorted to keep it fair. This has not been easy on me a I am a customer I send my car to gtr mechanic I pay money I expect good work to be done that’s all. Like I said I will update once this mess has all been sorted out even if I got to go to another mech and go through the legal process which I hope not.

You will hunt people down? Hmm.

But anyway, please do update us on this issue of sudden poor economy, im quite intrested to see the result.

I was going to book a new tune in with mark shortly, could you PM me more info as to what has happened so far?

Its so hard to find a reliable tuner these days, but then every workshop has horror stories and i was pretty impressed with Godzilla last time I was there, so unless theres some shock horror story here it probably wont affect my decision.

Awesome, Sums it up. Great knowledge, fantastic workshop and lets face it race/motorsport experience which counts. Wouldny bother going anywhere else.

Tune on my car is unreal. Making reliable power and now AUS's Fastest S/FWD. 11.73 @ 126.85 mph.

Mark's input and knowledge is a very valuable assett.

GODZILLA FTW....

Good idea we think, some other forum's do it where you can sponcer the state section i.e QLD, and the workshop can post up there special's to pass onto to site member's, then feedback can be left and so on.

Be great for workshop to also put forward technical support, help with buying part's and even event's (dyno day's) ect.

Congrat's to Mark and the boy's @ godzilla with there A.S winning RH9 GTR, how awsum. love seeing local workshop's like these boy's

take out big event's and doing great consistant number, untouchable....

:(

Shot down unfortunately by the mods, I'm working on creating my own website that's dedicated to reviewing car workshops and providing a place for discussion, feedback and also dialog between workshops and customers.

Just so I've got this right, you asked for big head work (more fuel), more power (more fuel) on small turbos (more boost = more fuel) and a safe tune (more fuel) and you want to complain about fuel economy? If you wanted standard fuel economy maybe you should have left it standard...

FYI he is working on my car this Thursday morning in prep for the drag day this weekend...

I trust him 100% and back his work, otherwise I would not use him.

I understand someone is having troubles, but this may or may not be a fault of this company. So lets not all jump to conclusions and let Mark sort it out with this particular owner.

He is a reasonable bloke and Im sure he will do his best to sort the issue. Jumping on SAU and telling everyone your unhappy before an issue is resolved is like sleeping with your best mates girl, felt good at the time but will not achieve anything other than create more stress...

Incorrect, shut down by legal advisors... :nyaanyaa:

and i dont look forward to saying "i told you so" when the freedom of speach on your forum is gagged by a court order...

Im sure mark will sort everything out, hes generally pretty good.

As to that other thing, we will have to wait and see. I reckon it'll be right tho, but we really shouldn't de-rail this thread.

dont think mine will make it to the drag day if yours is being worked on.... :(

OH, double booked hey... I better give him a call and make sure we are still good...

Im just after a touch of dyno time, the rest of the drag day prep ill do at home...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
