_turtle_: I know that they have done a few things, just not all the things on the WRITTEN CONTRACT....

I wasn't saying they tried to destroy my car I was just suggesting they tried to tune the A/F ratio in order to make the car run smoother as a part of tuning.

As they managed to run a diagnostics program, i'm sure they'd be more than capable of doing so...

I had toy sports check my car in penrith. they did a good job, some people have had problems, but I was there watching with the previous owner the whole time.

I got my 100,000km's service done at justjap. they are pretty good and did an excellent job. would reccomend them anytime, the guys down there are really helpful with enquiries too

Ok, here's an update for yaz guys,

I replaced my rear pads on the weekend that had "1000 k's left on them...." and they where only half worn... hmmm, if that's a thousand k's left then i'm a monkeys uncle....

Luckily i did replace them though becaus i pulled one out and the pad fell off the base plate.... and that could have been disasterous if it had of happened while i was driving....

I used to have one of those warrenty things on my old car. You read the fine terms and it doesnt cover shit, and you have to take the car to places that the warrenty people deal with, not who you want to deal with.

I think a reliable decent mechanic that you can trust is alot better then a dodgy warrenty. Find someone you like at a workshop that looks after skylines and you wont have to put up with this shit. The warrenty doesnt work out to saving you much money after you spent it on this so called service by these goons. Get everything done right the first time

Ok guys, just a bit of an update....

I have spoken to the MVRIA and, as advised, have gotten a quote from an individual mechanic for installation of the BOV... I have a written quote for $60 (which is $140 less than what the dealer charged). I have also been told that the dealer could NOT have voided my warranty if i had the BOV installed elsewhere... So basically i was suckered in... NOW, the MVRIA have told me to let the dealer know he owes me $140... they have also sent me the paper work incase the dealer refuses to pay.

So, on sat, i have to take my car back out there to have all the previous service problems corrected (hopefully) and claim my money.

I also will have to have all the issues i have sorted...

Before i go: can any one advise the following?...

When a car is complied, tyres have to be changed to aust ones... does this include the spare?... my spece saver is still a japanese (obvious with the japanese writing on it... and i know it wasn't changed in compliance because there is an imprint on the boot floor under it from the writing on the tyre (thus it has been there quite some time...)

Also:

Can anyone suggest why i found my muffler was stuffed with steel wool? (it's not that loud! - no louder without it in there)... I can't find a logical explanation and can't see why this would be left there through compliance....

thanks again guys.

nah, i found out i can have the servicing done wherever i want as long as it follows the guidelines in the warranty book (thanks again mr MVRIA man).... so i'll do that then when something goes wrong throw the bill in their face ;)

but i'm betting by the end of sat the guys gonna HATE me with a passion! :(... and that's what you get for being an arsehole in the 1st place... :cheers:

Alright, was there on sat... guy refuses to give me the money he owes me (for the overcharge when installing BOV), so now i have to call the MVRIA and get them to sort it out... Also, i still have the boost problem...???? what is it???....

I have to call the MVRIA and find out my options... :rofl:

They also refuse to fix the air-con so i have to call DOFT because they sold me a car with air-con (where the air-con doesn't work)....

AAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

Also, the guy was pissed with me and reversed my car out of the driveway and hammered the brakes making it slide!!!!! Who can i talk to about this, what can i do as that's just thrashing my car....

Also, i caught him going through the centre console and showing everyone in the workshop what i had there.... what's the go there!?!?!?

HELP GUYS!!!! WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THESE ISSUES?????

That is total BS man, I strongly recommend that you refer the matter to consumer affairs and let them deal with it. I guarantee you that these people will start listing and being nice once you get CA involved.

Just make sure that you document all these incident... witnesses would be nice.

All the best.

Dempo: Ya smart arse... that's a brave comment to make on this forum man.... lol.... wait till i c u again, i'll line u up and we'll see what i shoulda bought... :headspin:.... :(

krpt: have spoken to the MVRIA and DOFT and they're helping me sort out issues but i'll have to sort out both the "going through my personal stuff" and "miss-treating my car" bits somehow... Might ring DOFT again about them....

My G/F was there with me so there's a witness.... :D She also said he made a few comments and swore at me when I wasn't listening so....

If he's gonna be a real pain in the ar5e then i might just ring ACA... :D that'll hurt him.... :(

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
