i posted a topic a lil while ago about ttracing and havnt checked back in a while and just now i noticed a few replies so heres a lil update..

after i put my old spark plugs back in a it was running sweet again.. i decided to give them a call and spoke to the boss.. i asked if i could return the spark plugs he sold me as they f*cked my car.. he in turn got angry saying they were now used and worth nothing.

i wasnt really out to get my money back but more to see what he had to say.. and obviously i wasnt happy with his response as he seemed to be VERY protective of his wallet.

The real test in my opinion about the true morals of this workshop would have been the day i picked up the car when it was running rough as and had a tic in the head. the owner made out as if the head needed a rebuild and i could leave it there for them to find out the problem.... so i wonder if i left it there that day if i would have a rebuilt head now...or if they would have said..sorry mate, all we had to do was change the spark plugs.

the car has since ran perfect (appart from changing an AFM last weekend...wonder if that will add to the chit chat lol) and has run a 12.40 down the quarter with 14psi, stock turbos, mines ecu.

in conclusion.. i think lots of workshops will have issues with there customers and vice versa... the trick is to be lucky and do most of the work yourself :cool:

so good luck!! :laugh:

Welcome to the Jungle.. nah seriously.. u get that crap alot out there. its good you posting their names up here.. this forum should sticky a thread dedicated to bad workshops. but for educational purposes obviously as to prohibit possible legal battles. :(

Wrong that they put the incorrect plugs in in the first place

Wrong that they would not remedy their mistake.

Stoopid that the clown actually refused to take them back becuase they were used. Did he think they would stay new. :/

lol not about the money.. its about the customer relations.. the cost of some spark plugs that were hardly used.. against losing customers... maybe he's shitty cause his bf has run back to tell him what's been said

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
