Who (like me) is a full time slave and works 9-5 mon to fri?

If you do... where and when do you find the time to get mods / tuning for ya beast???...assuming that its your daily driver.

Asking because my room is filling up with bits and pieces to go onto the car and I will have to rock up late for work if I take my car into a garage in the morning and then catch public transport to work...

Any garages open on the weekend?

I think what you mean is how do you find time to do ANYTHING during the week? Luckily for me, the team I work in cover 8am to 6:30pm so there's a bit of room to move if you need to.

I work full time Mon-Fri but luckily for me, I own part of the workshop and my car spends most of it's life there....

We are open on weekends or open late by appointment.

Give us a call on 9512-7591 and you'll speak to Gerald or Nigel who can organise a time to help you out.

I just take half a day off/ full day off whenever i need to get anything done on car as i am a contractor i can take time off whenever i like. My gfriend lives near me and works in the city also, so i catch a ride in with her if necessary.

Nick y didnt u show up for the skid pad day on sunday? u wasted $50 deposit

Yeah its sucky when are either  

- using your car as a daily driver  

- or if u are stuck interstate during the week

Fark how do you get sound systems and car mods put on *#%@

Just need a garage at home w/ lighting and good motivation. When i was working 8:30-5:30 I got quite a few things done like install a stereo, servicing, etc. That hour for lunch to pick up stuff can be invaluable!! You also gotta pass up the getting so smacked on the weekends, you lose half your most valuable part of the week feeling like your head is about to explode. Once i did that I had heaps better time management, but it was never easy i guess.

I did a lot of the work servicing my car, servicing, etc in the dark during winter in non-daylight savings. Was a bitch, but one of them "lights on a stick" and a 20m extension cable can be invalueable.

9am - 5pm, what job is that, i want that... hahaha?

Well, IcePerformance, Revzone and Racepace all do saturdays i believe, that's where i'm taking mine.

It is hard though, cos you want to enjoy driving the car on the weekends rather than having it spend half the time in the workshop.

I think because he's lost his license?

I met him tonight, took a mate to drop some springs off for him :)

I dont think there is one performance shop i know of... that isnt open Saturday until midday.

So Sat man. I usually do mine then.

Or just get a day off work. Or even half a day.

Cant be there hard

I have "Speed Technology" (or EFI Hardware) accross the road from me, and sometimes they park cars in our factory so they help me out.....

Nothing like seeing off the meter cars all day, like old 260Z with 350 chevs and 280z with RB26Detts!!!!

YAY

Im lucky that Ice are located 5 mins from my work so I can drop my car off and get someone from work to come with me and bring me back - drop me off again. Most companies will give you 1/2 hr leaveway here and there anyways for things like this. Everyone has to get their cars serviced.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
