dont think i got an ETA, just said they'd do it ASAP

i guess i should of got a definite time estimated, and yeah i think they are very busy with other cars that were there before mine

I dont doubt there quality of work or the cost, both are great and nice guy , i guess i was assuming it would be done quicker which is my bad assumption i guess.

will learn from it.

they have pretty much stuck to quote and no complaints there.

Edited by SliverS2

typical workshop/fabshops they f**k you around thats why i do things my self waiting ATM for a spacer to be machined for me he said "2 days ill call you" been 2weeks still no call lucky im not in a hurry for it

Are you talking about a T3 spacer? i got mine from MTQ they have them on the shelf.

4weeks and i have a dump pipe

i still need a steel intake pipe 3inch, can anyone suggest a good workshop that can do this for me without having to wait long periods of time? also would want catch can fabricated and cold air setup so need someone that is a pro and will do a great job

any sau members in brisbane that have done this before with pics of there work im happy to consider paying some decent money for quality work.

Thanks mate, maybe we could meet up on the weekend and discuss what you can do... do you have any pics of stuff you've done? are you a sheet metal worker by trade?

Brisbane is not a problem for us.

Just send me a photo of the engine bay and use paint to draw a rough picture of where you want the catch can to be positioned.

We can do the rest from the vehicles in the workshop.

Examples of my work can be seen here

Hey brad your work is awsomE stuff mate but just because I don't have a work shop does not mean my work lacks in quality hahaha I still purge all my exausts and intakes and will do what the customer wants ;-) and if I need to do something extreme I can always take it into my work . On a side note wher is your shop located ? Would like to come have a squizz at what goes on there ?

+1 for you don't need a workshop for quality I site weld and clean all my jobs and people are always happy with the quality it all boils down to how well you can use your tools and experience. Tho I have to say brad you put out some nice looking work

Got car back last night, bit rediculous, waited 4 weeks for a dump and intake to be made, got sick of waiting so i picked it up put it together with silicon hoses and made it home after it constantly stalling on me all the way home running rich as , it stalled on me with a big line of traffic behind, i found the battery had not even been connected, its making some funny noises too, really have to be careful choosing workshops , talked to a bloke from richlands who seems decent so ill see how it goes, thanks for the offers to do the work , im still keen on a oil sep/catch can ideas.

    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
    • Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
