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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
