I have come to the conclusion that all tyre monkeys are f**king speds.

Thanks Dan for balancing my wheels up proper :thumbsup:

Sounds good :) meet you at your place at 10?

call it 11 bro. Its 5 minutes to lakeside from here, and I have a 30th to go to the night before.

Just settled in at home after a hard days work, beer in hand and bad movie to watch when *Ring ring* oh it's my phone. Answer phone, "What's that? Flying squad hitting the venue tonight? Yay, there goes my night off!" Into car, back at work now.

For those that don't know the flying squads are MAJOR audits/raids conducted by members of WHSO Qld, Dept of Fair Trading, OLGR, QPS, QFS and occasionally Dept of Employment and Dept of Immigration. Major not fun times for all involved. I have 99% of my ducks in a row, let's hope they don't go looking for number 100 :P

What/Who happened?

Ergh.. cbf typing. Short story of my most recent adventure:

- 8 tyres that need to be swapped around on rims and changed inside edge to outside

- I put masking tape on each tyre labelling what rim it should go on and what edge it was

- dude said he would need em for two hours

- left em there all day, went to pick em up after work and they weren't done

- went back the next day and got them, spoke to a different dude and apparently the reason they weren't done was coz the tyre monkey f**ked up and put the wrong tyres on the wrong rims and had to start again.

- anyway get home and a bunch of wheel weights have fallen off into the tray of the ute on the way home. A heap more have fallen off since then. Seems they didn't clean them before sticking the weights on, or bang them down on or anything...

- most of the rims had 200-300g worth of weights on them, when Dan re-balanced them today I think the most he put on one was 100g, the rest took about half that.

And I have been dicked around a few times in the past, things like tyres being put on the wrong direction, etc. Basically they are all dumb shits and should be shot.

Martin which shop was this?

This particular case was just a tyre shop right near my work. I have used em a number of times before without issue though.

Previous cases have been a number of other shops.

    • Don't assume too much when there is a voltage issue....if the battery is flat and the alternator not charging it is easy for the voltage to drop way low at the ECU due to the draw of stuff like coils, fuel pump etc Whatever you see at the battery with the motor off, it should be at least 13.8 with it running
    • I have been wondering if this is as simple as a voltage issue with the battery. Even on a charger, I can’t seem to get it over 11.8V on the terminals.    Unless the alternator has failed as well, that wouldn’t cause it to die in the middle of driving though. 
    • I’ll give this a shot next time I’m able to wrench on it.    I was able to get my hands on a Haltech Nexus, so that should help with some of the more bizarre troubleshooting. Make sure the CAS is actually sending signal and will be able to set the proper dwell on the R35 coils.    I’ve checked power/grounds/signals at the CAS, ignitor, and plugs and it was all there. Granted this was static with ignition on, not cranking.    I also plan on swapping out the fuel filter and throwing on a fuel pressure gauge at the rail just to confirm I’m getting the correct pressure at the rail. 43psi if I recall correctly. 
    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
