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

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
