Drop car off somewhere for some simple stuff done, wait a week, call to see how its going, get epically disinterested response. Gotta love Melbourne mechanics.

When did they say it was done?

Which workshop?

Say youlll take it else where

ive got into the habit of waiting 1.5-2 weeks before dropping by to check it out. much more awkward when you're there in person. But i havent been to any/many workshops who start work within a few days. I think they just take the car when there is room/when it suits customer, not so much when theyre available to start work.

its best not to be a difficult customer i think... if theyre tied up with another job being a PITA, thats just what happens.

Yeah, I won't be a troublesome customer, I typically am not and pretty chill given experiences in the past. (all nightmarish)

Just annoying if you call a month in advance, deliberately holding off until someone will be available to work on it ;)

Still having issues with your car Greg?

Or it's just a 'maintenance'?

You're doing it all wrong... Backyard mechanics are the go. Bring it down here. :P

It's niggly things that require welding, (sender units for gauges), and wiring etc. Map sensor, Wideband controllers, maybe some dyno time to see the differences in a manifold and gate (assuming these help, typically they should), crap like changing a wheel hub/bearing etc, cam timing, cam gears, valve adjustments.

Simple stuff, just annoying/time consuming, basic but stuff you want to know is done right, because I can't be confident it was right in the past.

I had actually planned to do this initially, at least the welding parts!

But I was told "they can do everything" by the shop, so I said here's a big well detailed list with info, let me know.

If all else fails I will actually park it outside Scotty's and just ask him to let it get stolen.

I'd like to introduce you guys to my future wife, we met on the internet:

:woot::wub:

Booked marked to watch on my lunch break

Haven't heard of her before, but I can see why guys do judging from the preview :P

That's quite a list...

5 warrants for that scumbag's arrest, threats of violence towards his family and an AVO from his wife.... yes the poice couldn't manage to go pick him up.

drive past a cop with a modified car and they are more than happy to come and visit

pathetic

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
