On monday after put some fuel in my stag ,I discovered an screw in one of my tyres so on wednesday to prevent the screw to go away and finish with a flat tyre in the middle of the freeway went to TYREPOWER in Berwick ,near where I work,after taking the wheel the "efficient employee" started to try to take my centercap by smashing it from behind.

Lucky I was there to tell him that it's screw in and I have the tool,after finishing he put the wheel back and I runned back to my work place because my lunch time was over...When I got down the car took a look to my wheel ,the F%*# employee used a shorter socket to put the wheel wrecking all it's holes I know my wheels arent new but now one looks like crap(BTW I have a set Of 17" Work S2R)...after work went back there :after inspecting my $ wheels the manager asked me...Did he asked you if you have the tool?My answer was "No"...I have the tool ,but thougght these people Know their job so didn' bother.

End of the story the mannager offered me they can send the wheel to be fixed ...But Not sure it's going to finish the same color as the others(ouch) :woot:

So all this is to tell you IF YOU LOVE YOUR CAR AND YOU DON'T DRIVE A FORDEN DON'T GO THERE....

The only good thing about the experience was that I discovered why my car is taller...Nismo shocks :)

If your rim doesn't come up as good as new ask for it to be replaced.

Nismo shocks won't necessarily make your car taller. My S1 is lowered 40mm on Nismo shocks ( which are actually rebadged Bilsteins). If yours are the same (i.e. rebadged Bilsteins although I note yours are red v my yellow ones) you may be able to lower your car by repositioning the circlip or by putting in different springs.

please tell me this mouth breathing waste of skin no longer has a job there?

I admire your restraint man. I would have been demanding that the usless little cretin pays for the repairs himself.

And that would be AFTER using his head for a wheel chock........

Yeah I feel for you buddy that sux, I have had the exact same thing happen to me before. This was a few years back and they were quite cheap rims but its no excuse for slack lazy bastards who have no respect for other peoples things.

it does suck, although perhaps it is a little harsh on the business to come on here telling people not to go there (can actually get in trouble with things like that if you aren't careful)

sure the employee was at fault and has caused damage to your property but in all fairness to the business, from what you have said, they did offer to repair your wheel

      Rusty roof repair

      By Duncan · Posted

      Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By dingleberry · Posted

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      By Keeper · Posted

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
