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

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
