raj had some good prices for his 2nd hand gear and the china stuff , not crazy cheap but not rip offs . He had a good collection of random stuff in that section upstairs which lots of wreckers don't keep , saved lots of people's asses heaps of times.

at the end of the day a real shop can not compete with some kid sitting on ebay or the internet forums posting stuff out of his bedroom

no problem if thats what you wan't but with a real shop you can go and get it on the day , look at , check it , if theres problems exchange it.

I remember going there god knows how long ago... can't remember what I was looking for but I remember it was farken expensive.

All the good deals are on the interwebs these days :)

Overall he wasn't expensive compared to other legit shops in Perth, you cant compare his business to some key board warrior working out of his bed room.

Any way a lot of the second hand parts he had in stock wont be popping up at a later date when needed, they were binned or sold as scrap value.

Should of seen the pallet of GTR carpets thrown out, images below are examples of what now is scrap metal, was so much binned gave up caring what they were for.

Another thing, this is one less workshop complying cars like R32's, R33's, 180's and so on, with others shutting down in the New Year.

Less competition drives the prices up.

Whats it cost to comply a 32 coupe ??

Steve May / Mayhem is still around although nearly impossible to get a hold of.

lol

If he's in the country he's pretty easy to get a hold of.

Emails are the best bet though.

I went there as Raj was shutting up shop. Got bulk stuff cheap i couldnt say no to cheap cheap. Got bulk head lights ect for spares was like 10 bux each or so. Was happy like a kid in a candy store. But yeah pretty sure everything has been binned if not he still has the "performance" parts. Thats was a few weeks ago tho so it could have been sent to KYP by now? Other than that all the spare parts they had was all smashed into big bins and sent to heaven hahaha

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
