So you're going to take your car back to the same dodgy mechanic?

i've already paid for the turbo what else can i do? he has to put it in and retune it for free if he's ripped me off yeh? i might as well get it done there then get it looked over with another mechanic unless there's another way i can do this :S

Yeah you got shafted alright. Best bed is to build a case up against him (receipts vs what he's actually done, which means getting another professional to look at your). It's going to get pretty tough for you now man. Hopefully he's less of a dick to you the second time round and actually fixes the issues. But that won't happen, because if he was like that, you wouldn't have issues in the first place!

Perhaps look into Fair Trading, maybe ask someone in your state if they know someone who can give you advice on this matter.

surprisingly he was really nice about all this and offered to fix it, guess my anxiety got me stressed for nothing, thanks for all the advice but guys!!

edit: he played around with power fc and fixed the knocking and the high idle, but he reckons a gasket could be leaking now so he's gonna check that out

just because a part may have NISSAN cast or stamped into it doesnt mean that its made by NISSAN

*sigh* thanks Captain obvious ;) think you're missing the point. An AFTERMARKET Garrett turbo I.e a Garrett GTX3071R wont have a nissan housing like the O.P claims he paid for!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
