some people really know how to hold a grudge around here huh

Personally, I have no opinion on the quality of their work. From what I hear it is good. But that said, I would not take my car to them. Why? On the two occasions I have had anything to do with them, they have behaved in a manner which makes me not want to deal with them. Is that a grudge? I don't think so. Its just a choice - they are not the kind of people I want touching my car. I know where John is coming from, and I agree with him.

yeh its pretty shit, mines chilled in my garage since september

You get used to it breh :D. + you will love that day you get it back on the road :worship:

I'd rather convert it to a horse drawn cart than take it to EFI.

LOL

isnt that what it already has been converted into?

Harsh, but LOL :D

EFI bashing is based on???

Word of mouth, their other customers, their 'meet' behaviour, the broken down cars on two meets with EFI stamps all over them, and their general attitude towards dickhead street behaviour. The others (as in people in the thread, not the others from LOST) would know what I mean with the quote "Let's settle this on the M1".

I thought EFI slaggin was over now that Redbum is gone due to his epic fail attempt of taking over the performance car industry ?

I'm not slagging them. I'm simply saying that I'd rather let a blind man work on my car. or someone with palsy...

Yeah grudge probably isn't the right word. It's more of a boycott.

Some of thier clients behaved in an ordinary manner.... the people that actually worked there didnt (this is in the Baskins instance when i was there)

In my personal dealings with them they have been nothing but professional and the job that did on Annas car was absolutely perfect Besided Dan they are by far and away the best workshop i have dealt with!

But like you say thats your choice, differing opinions make the world go round!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

forgot christmas party was today and drove to work :D

Solution: Not going to christmas party, and going home early instead :worship:

christmas party will be sh1t anyway, they've gone all tightarse this year

P.S. John, theres a spare RB20 in teh ute if u want to borrow bits for diagnostic purposes.

ahhhh that's right... out of all 15ish cars that were there, only 14 limiter bashed and skidded their way out of there! I forgot! Wonder if that had something to do with that ute not being able to start, let alone skid or hit limiter... :worship:

But yes, differing opinions indeed. You, Anna and Dan have been happy with them. But that's not enough to make me trust them. I don't give second chances easily (if at all), so they'd have to cup overtime to get me to even consider it.

Sounds tasty! If it's still acting like a finicky little bitch after I swap the pump over I'll steal the turbo out of it and check that :D

I let very few people touch my car. Dan @ ERD is in with a chance (based on reccomendations from people I trust), when I eventually get sick of my b*stard noisy lifter :worship:

speaking of RB20s....any one know of a rb20de lying around somwhere? I need one to fix a cefiro i broke

Some dude in the for sales has an rb20e, but it's got rooted injectors i think... can't remember the post exactly, but it should still be there

Sounds tasty! If it's still acting like a finicky little bitch after I swap the pump over I'll steal the turbo out of it and check that :D

Have fun with that :worship: (it's a c*nt of a job), and you'll have to put it back together for whenever I have to haul it over to Petrie

I think only one person who actually works EFI was the driver of a car that night....and the 'skids' have been well blown out of proportion especially re the numbers of them.

From the SAU club you can count Warwick, Noel, Big Dave, Chris and a few random others as very happy clients

I know you guys have opinions and i have no interest in changing them but i dont want some one to come along and only see one side of the story

sr20 in ceffies ftw!

i know of someone who is taking an sr out of their 180 next weekend

an sr to suit a rebuild..

ill let him know if you are keen :worship:

its not my ceffie so i want to do as little screwing around as possible! But thanks Tristan.

I have found a RB25DE neo, loom and computer for very cheap but i have no idea what wiring troubles it will throw up, and after 18 months of the headf*ck on Annas car im not that keen to experience it again!

also tristan if you find yorself needing any parts or a hand getting engines in and out let us know! We are very experienced now ha ha

Have fun with that :worship: (it's a c*nt of a job), and you'll have to put it back together for whenever I have to haul it over to Petrie

I can promise it will be put back together.

I cannot promise it will ever work again :D

Where shall I leave the spare bolts?

I thought EFI slaggin was over now that Redbum is gone due to his epic fail attempt of taking over the performance car industry ?

+1. Hahaha

Anyway EFI's alright. All these bashing is really over the top. M1? Lets just say its illegal but hey AT LEAST they're doing it on a 4 lane straight road. I believe a lot here has done stuff that are even worse.

Baskin skid? Yes I agree its bad but who knows who was the actual guy who did it? You get people like this all the time.

I think if they're good at doing it and at a good price, I dont see why not. Its not like you're after a sponsorship etc that you wanna have a relationship what blah blah blah workshop (like SOMEBUM used to tell me). Just bring it to someone good and problem solved. If you've rather dick around waste money looking for someone who MAY fix the problem because of pride and ego, by all means but I'd rather spend the money doing some decent mods.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
