Hi Peter, Maybe start another thread and make it a poll :yes:

Something like "How long did your engine rebuild take"

Options:

3 Months or less

6 Months

9 months

12 Months

Greater than 12 months !

I for one would be interested in the results.

Maybe in the comments SAUérs could add

Which shop and were they totally happy with service

Did it come in on Time and Quoted price ...... LMFAO

(allowing for owners that add/change bits as they usually do making cost go up)

Many workshops are like builders - they don't like turning down work so they agree to do your job even though they are busy. And of course the best shops are always busy. The hard bit is priority - regular customers and mates probably get priority. Also I think regular calls for updates are in order...and often necessary!

Here we are 5 weeks since I put my car in for the work and it sits there getting a nice coat of dust,haha :yes:

The Fn block is still not ready !

I believe this is a normal situation in the world of Mods, don't like it very much :angry:

14months (edit: and counting.) in one shop for the same thing, 3months before it was touched.

I waited 5 weeks as nitto was out of stock. Then another 8 weeks waiting on machiner. Bottom end finally assembled. Now most likely another 5 weeks for head to be finished. Then most likely another 5 weeks to put motor back in and tune ?

So will be close to 6 months fkn

I have one thin going for me, I had all of the parts delivered 3 months ago, so there is NO waiting on parts, or saying they are waiting on parts. I have also had other work done by them and they were on time both times, so?

Thanks anyway for getting me ready for a lot of bullshit from them as I live too far away to just pop in to see what is happening, so I can only live in hope :(

Haha, that would be too hard to read while I have my cay in there, I am not good at waiting for anything, I would buy the second best if I could not get my first choice ASAP, so even the 5 weeks has seemed, like forever :(

I have read a lot of builds on these sites, had to stop after I put my car in and starting to understand I was getting the mushroom treatment and it was giving me the shits, I have way too much time on my hands to play the waiting game.

It will be interesting to see what happens over the next 3 weeks, that was the latest finish time given to me, 6-8 weeks ????

Haha Paul it will all be worth it ?

Response and torque monster

Can you imagine , the car has the response/torque and Paul the monster, what a combo, ZZZZOOOOOOOMMMMM! :)

Haha Paul it will all be worth it ?

Haha!!! Ah a while ago, Pete said it shouldn't take any longer than 6 weeks. Yeah right :D.

Farken mushroom factory industry it is.

Get it right, 6 to 8 weeks was the quote, just because nothing has been done in 5 weeks and off you go getting all negative , have faith Piggaz have faith :)

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
