Spotted SXYGST twice this morning - Then my boy called me at work and spotted him too. Clean Silver 33 came through the Jerra Pub carpark at 4ish.

Now what was I doing there. Drowning my sorrows thats what. The !@#$%^&*(*) at Dickson knocked me back for the third time. The stock front pipe is 5mm too Low. Jelous is all i can put it down to.

Back at 9:30 2moro for another go. A hydraulic jack and 50 PSI in the tyres ought to give me a pass mark from the !@#$%^&*(() (**&&%$#@ )(*(*&%!

was dave there? he's a pretty young guy, and was absolutely fantastic and a few other young guys there were good too, if there are old guys there you could be in trouble, but the young guys were really good with me!

i know one guy who gave the guys at the pits a lot of trouble, being a smart ass talking down to them etc... so they drilled him for everything they could find. a big part of it is respect, if you treat them well they will do the same(in general)

i dont know if nick and ewan will remember but when i was going through getting my car over the pits a while ago, i put a big post up on another local forum saying that my dad was taking the car in and saying it was his etc...and i was saying how clever i was and how dumb they were, turns out one of the guys brothers was a member of the forums and told them all about it, the guys at the pits thought it was hilarious and gave me soooo much sh*t about it, and that they do read forums etc....anyway they all laughed about it, were very kind with checking the car and wished me well.

Guys keep in mind that some of the people from the pits -DO- read these forums (was talking to them about it when i went over) and some comments might make them pick on you some more :D

anyways, spotted gunmetal r32 gtst on lanyon drive in queanbeyan, gave a sort of finger/wave/hey thing and then realised i probably looked like a retard :)

No I was good, honest. I took the rejection on the chin. No smartarse remarks and was very sensible and polite, all three times now.

The gents who selected the defects and knocked it back were the senior ones and one was the boss (Roy). My cars very very tidy and alot safer than most new cars. 5mm too low with two big fellas siting in the front. She passed QLD RTA in October of this year as it was. The front pipe is dead stock and so is the Zorst Jayce lent me.

I no complain, maybe a little, but it appeard to me to be overzelous and I sincerely beleive it's because its an import or they have been asked to go hard on our cars.

Child restraint clips "actually" fitted. Not just the threaded holes like your Brand new this years model anything which just has the Plugs in em. Now come on!

dang i thought i had it hard when they nocked me back for not knowing the weight of my car :) at least that only took me 20 minutes to fix up but yea they seem to pick up on some stupid things though which i am sure 95% of others would let slide. oh well they can afford to be tight arses we dont have a choice in who we take our cars to.

i would have walked past on my way back to the library after my lunch break, but i don't think i was being suspicious. did he have a black blink 182 shirt on? if so it was me being freaky, otherwise someone else is a freak

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
