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

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
