Both Brady and Ben x Tilbrooks are working at JMS with me now

top guys who both know there stuff and not burnt out like some of us lol

its looking like gtr central down here at the moment so

we might have to focus on gtr's alittle more in the future

were buying up a storm in Japan right now

Hey man can i tell Brady Matthew from the barrosa valley`s been lookin for him since he left tilbrooks for him to do some more work on my gunmetal 32GTR, he done the turbos on my GTR at tilbrooks

yeh brady is a top bloke. went for a spin in the hills with a mate (in his car that brady built quite a bit of) brady was with us, had a bit of an accident and he didnt mind opening up tilbrooks for us at 5am to drop off the car for repairs! And yeh he's at JMS now.

I had Brady have a quick look at my 33 a few weeks ago with my exhaust manifold issue. Very nice bloke, was happy to help. Although i received a very overpriced quote.

Got charged almost half of that quote elsewhere last week for the same job :)

I'll take that as a yes then, that 180 was in there when my engine conversion was getting done and i remember seeing the damage and Brady telling me what had happend :D

its actually a sil80 but yeh, luckly i was in the car behind with another mate hahah...what a night.

cant put a price on quality work these days :)

from memory $800 for heater core was supplying brand new core and fitting, coolant etc

as Brady didn't want end up stuffing you around by fitting a potentially faulty secondhand unit

brady's well know for doing the things the right way first time everytime

it may seem more expensive but from what Ive seen in the long run it works out cheaper for everyone

didn't you already fit a "new" leaking core?

end of the day a workshop is never going to be a cheap as doing something yourself

but if your like me I prefer someone who knows more than I do to be working on my car

so Im happy to pay for that knowledge

as i said the the owner of the shop what is it gold plated i had already been quoted $220 labour for the complete job by an import specialist and that included fluids but not regasing of my air con

he told me a brand new core was $270 so why were they going to charge me another $600 for fitting of it, bah go where you like we all have to do our own research

    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
    • 10 minutes on a lathe would be one way to achieve literally anything you want, too. (except for AN type stuff - just talking about M-F with BSP and NPT in any mix/combo).
    • yeah, so "something" should be -4 AN....to a hose....to a -4AN to NPT fitting *edit* sorry, I surely have that backwards. The LS is from land of the free so it must be NPT at the block, and the Nissan sender is BSPT. But still, conceptually the same
    • Yea I mean I know it exists, but finding (specifically) female BSPT to male NPT (i.e, to plug a Nissan OEM sensor into a 'standard' NPT port) was truly difficult. I don't think I'll recreate the setup I had in the past unless it's (possibly?) advisable with a stronger T piece made of steel, but who knows if the aluminium threads in the block become the next weak point etc. Given it may need to be redrilled out and something tapped into it, it'll need to be Female BSPT to the something that ends uo coming out of the side of the block.
    • Sounds like a perfect time to harness up a couple of the dogs, show the horses what real power is about!
