whatever you do pick a workshop that provides an agreed warranty for the engine build

outlines the cost of the job and doesnt give you a surprise 2k extra bill at the end

and an agreed end date instead of "yeah soon" each month

Hmm

Who is it? Want someone who won't blow the engine up lol

Pm me brahhh... Might need to do 200kkm service soon

PM's sent

It's a specialised engine building workshop that does everything from street cars to full blown drag cars.

youre all wrong.

ric is half lebo, half black, half antarctican.

Nah, he is full HEKT1K.

Okay.

In regards of finding someone to put the motor together and tune it.

My mate thinks I should go to a place that does everything in house, as I'm getting Sposaro to build up the engine and he's outsourcing the tuning to Creatd.

Mate recommends JPC.

They built his drag VL, and his 400kw Xr6.....

So cownfushun

Don't your cousins own Rajab..?

LOL!

or at least if you cant find a workshop that covers warranty

at least you will know up front that its not covered

so if and when something goes bang you are aware of where you stand etc

ntohing worse than a nice build failing at start up, first run in or early KM stages

only for the owner to be told sorry not covered its your oil contimination or something etc etc

get as much info on what is covered and what isnt

ill be supplying the rods and pistons etc though.

if they can just cover their workmanship id be happy.

might just get creatd to do it.

trying to understand cams, springs etc.

f**k its confusing shit.

The line between workmanship and parts is incredibly blurred at the best of times.

Better yet Moh, buy a workshop manual and build the engine yourself. One of the most rewarding things I've ever done was build an engine! It's not that difficult, if you follow instructions carefully. Just like lego but with torque wrenches and tolerances lol.

what happened matt?

lol took a customer into the storage warehouse to look at some sinks, he says oh both your cars are in here, what do you drive daily?

me: the triton ute

customer: f**k bitches load fridges!

what happened matt?

Tried to do me for things that werent RWC items like a "soft" upper radiator hose. Rear pads were 2mm and legal limit is 1.5mm and I called him out on that and he got all defensive that oh well if you want to save $350 then we dont have to do it, then turned around and told me I should anyway. The owner of the company also told me to do some research to find out whats minimum spec for the rotors and get back to him.. like thats my job as a customer and all. Front tyres are Retreads (dont laugh, they came with the car) and the mechanic thought that meant they were damaged on the sidewalls, even though its just the cap glued on. Also tried to find the slightest imperfection in every bush so is trying to sting me for most of them in the rear and a couple in the front. All up about $1000 if I don't do the brakes.

(This is on a VLT also, none of this would happen on a skyline :P)

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
