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)

:action-smiley-069:

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 :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
