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. 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.

All for the VL?

Daf*k

Indeed, I was going in expecting like $500 bucks. Silly me going to a jap RWC place for an aussie car... I'm dropping it off at the old mechanics tonight, he laughed at the brake and bushes comment so I should be alright, just means I wasted $165 on an inspection.

Lol they're distantly related to My cousin or someshit. I don't know.

LOL!

Just take it to Racepace.

:rofl:

Took a VLT to a Jap place for RWC.

Have been considering that Adam. I pulled it apart lol, how hard can it be?

Andrew. Whole cars in bits ATM lol

Can demolish a house faster than you can build it :thumbsup:

It's not difficult, just daunting. Probably not a good idea to attempt it if you're planning on using expensive high performance parts and you've much more to lose than just your pride if it doesn't work.

Woot Footy's back!

Anyone here play supercoach? :ph34r:

Since when did it go away, As far as I'm aware it plays for like 10 months of the year which is a pretty f*kn long winter for a winter sport.

i haaaate changing spark plugs on the rb25..

pffft. golf's easy as. is it cos you is armature?

i never said it was impossible... just pointlessly annoying.... the plenum setup makes the RB plenum setup look logical

also i'm talking about the 1.8 whereas you had the 2.0... not sure if there is a difference.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
