makes sense. my mechanic did EVERYTHING on the car for me. ordered and fitted parts, flushed and changed all fluids, filters and spark plugs. made sure everything is working the way its meant to. im happy with paying that much for a job well done.

why pay someone to do something you can easily do yourself at home :thumbsup:

i do oils, plugs and filter every 5-7Ks anyway. brake pads take me 20mins to change over

if i had the right tools i woulda done eveything else myself.

but hey if you dont mind paying nothing wrong with that :cheers:

lol think u could take on clutch, transfer case, brake, power steering, gear box and front and rear diff fluids, flushed and replenished rimon?

sounds like a headache to me. better that those who are qualified do it :P

Thanks for the stories :) sounds about right then! Not sure who I talked to at racepace but a nice bloke as well

And yeah, I basically do my plugs / engine oil and basic stuff but rest CBF.

if you provide a hoist it shouldn't be a problem, surely you know how to use a spanner..? :P

I live in apartments.

The amount of space i have to work in, is basically the size of a GTR. It just fits in the carpark dimensions as it is.

So clearly not going to happen.

The labour for all of mine was around $300 - so the fact it would have literally taken me ALL day to do it in such a confined space, that's just how it goes for me.

I've done my own services in the past etc, but sometimes it's just not feasible as time is money.

...

usual rate is about $25 an hour, so he spent 3 full days working on your car?

What crack have you been smoking? The going rate for labour is normally $80+ per hour, they probably pay their workers less than $25 per hour but I don't know any stupid enough to charge so little.

When are we playing again Kris? :P I came pretty close to beating you last time. I'll admit you've got serious skills though.

I will whenever you wish to die next haha. Tonight?

Get it dezz. It's a bit different but when you sus it out you will love it

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
