I had been very happy with Morpowa until recently. Last service they put the wrong spark plugs in my 200SX making it blow spark when on boost (which I replaced with $100 worth of Platinums after they fouled in about 50km), they charged me like a wounded bull for the service and to top it all off the nearly $3,000 dodgy twin plate clutch I got off them almost 3 months ago still isn't fixed or replaced, and it seems like they don't want to get off their asses and fix an obviously ****ed clutch. I last spoke with them about 2 weeks ago and haven't heard back about a solution. Doesn't seem like they are at all keen to save pride/face and get it fixed in a hurry. A couple of other performance places that have had a quick look at it and a drive were actually embarrassed for Morpowa, having shoddy work like that unfixed. Hopefully soon they can fix it and I will actually be able to drive my car without almost stalling it every time I pull up to the lights.

Tilbrooks are fantastic - can't say enough good things about Mark and the boys. Except that they are alwasy so darn busy - but I guess that's a sign of a great workshop.

I live in Tennyson WestLakes so its going to be a drive where ever i go.  Till brooks or PVP sound the goods.

I know this sounds stupid, but i want to know.. you can take it to Nissan can you?

yeah, but make sure you take your own oil, as they use semi-synthetic unless you specify a type of oil to be used

just thought i would add, i have a great guy who works on my car is cheap trustworthy top bloke. Doesnt have all your electronics gismo's but has good eye. Big toyota fan but thinks nissan are ok, done lot of custom intercooller work and hand fab turbo mounts and stuff

just recently did timng belt on my car no probs at all, nothing i would not trust him with.

pm me for his details, dont think he would want his name posted everywhere.

I will most certainly vouch for Shaun at Boost Worx. He has a lot of Skyline knowledge and takes the time to do the job right! It's all well and good to have the knowledge and ability, but it's sooo much more important that the workshop/mechanic that works on your car applies it! Shaun does. His prices are very sensible too.

Continuing with the post-whore... yeah Lach' we did the exhaust/muffler change. It made quite a difference considering the very low cost! I'll post up a quick thread on my results. Have a read.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
