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

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
