what did he do that was worth 500?

Removed old gearbox. Installed new gearbox, clutch kit, lightened flywheel, replaced shifter cables and speedo sender.

New driveshaft boots.

Oil leak fixed + oil change (including gbox)

And some other stuff which I can't remember :P Will check the receipt later. Fair bit of work for $500, which is what some other mechs have charged me for like 4 hours work.

imo, cars wit that much poke look good from that angle.. that is all

ridiculous from the back, ridiculous form the front.

says the habib rolling in a sedan with hobo spec suspension.

and by hobo spec, I mean when you park the car at night, hobos climb in the gap between your wheel and fender for shelter.

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

Usual rate? Lol you need to check a shop that isn't your cousins. It's sometimes double that

any mehanic/tuner I use charges a std rate of at least $100 per hour (doesn't mean i pay that, but it's what they charge)

And Femno charges me around $40 an hour. I think shan is loosing his marbles cuz he seems to be posting crap (more than usual) these days haha

haha yeh depends on the house, location and most of all the sellers motivation. If you see somethign you like link me i may have a contact within the agency selling it to get you a no bs idea on where its at.

yeh that happens out east and inner west a fair bit its bs its all private sale where i am thankfully - much easier for buyer /seller. You can grab a bargain at auction though particurarly when the market is favouring buyers like now.

cheers bro. The ones ive got my eyes on are all auctions so will have an idea of the pricing once the bidding war starts. First one this Sunday, so we'll see how it plays out haha

Well my mechanic tried to spin both wheels. The left one spun. The right didn't.

Turns out the handbrake was on BUT wasn't functioning on the left side so he got confused.

awesome mechanic :down:

+1 too much poke.... but i'd also like to see a lil tyre on the lexus....

showing a little tyre is needed imo

also awesome firework

car sounds pretty mangled

other than your sig what is wrong?

Not much. Well other than the hilarious sig, the fact they have to get it to run with a piggyback ECU. But it's safe to say 99.9% of the issues are actually electrical in one form or another. I guess I'm just looking for someone who understands that wires carry electricity and as long as they carry it to whatever sensor is looking for what, it should be OK.

Apparently 'tis not that simple.

My local guy is $50 according to my last bill ;)

I take everything i need for service/want changed. Pick it up the same day. Works out well.

Guy works with a lot of race teams and is in Europe a lot, was @ bathurst 12hr for instance :D

Good that I've finally found someone that i can trust locally AND clearly knows what he is talking about

Obviously still get Chris to do the major stuff. But general service type of thing, cant go wrong and it saves me 1.5hrs on trains + the drive there/back etc over 2 days.

lol classy..

jersey shore sounds queer

that dude in man vs wild is a f**king machine!

nah good show...

bear grylls enjoys drinking/bathing in his own urine way too much

haha that's f**kin sick

Apparently dtf originated from superbad. Either way, I'm making dtf shirts if anyone wants em :P

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
