I seriously don't know how they f**ked it up in the first place Pete..

For the money you paid that car should have had the time spent on it and be tuned to perfection

Obviously he did a half assed job and expected not to hear from you again, keep on his case until your happy mate. Some of these problems your having are foreseen problems, so I'm f**king sick of people trying to defend this shit.

"Just take it back and stay in their good books" blah blah blah,.. Should have been done right the first time! Idiots!

I'm sure they have someone who reads this forum/thread so they are getting the picture that they are not setting a very good example.

Any who have you experimented with some higher octane fuel?

It is tuned only for 98 pump but as I said it is better from a remote tune than the Dyno job ???

I honestly hope they are thought they don't seem to be getting the message at the moment.

We re happy when it's reliable mate

I have other things that have to be fix before I go anywhere else.

I also have to give them a chance to rectify the problems.

Struggling with the Torque starter motor bit , my starter motor has no trouble turning and starting the motor, it just stays engaged for a split second after it starts the motor since the build, before that it was fine ?

The start motor is more then likely a case of shit happens and go get it fixed cause unless they swapped your starter with another one they can not f**k it

I agree they have done some things wrong but you can't blame them for everything either

I agree but swap shoes and see how philosophical you are then.

After paying to have job done , one expects it to be done properly by the experts and not to be given your car back worse than when it went in., the problems were all noticeable from the first trip home.

Things can be f**ked if you are not careful how you re install them and I am not saying this is the case, but you say to your customer, sorry mate your starter motor started playing up, do you want it fixed or a new one installed. You do not just leave it like that.

Yes shit happens and I am sure it will be fixed, but 7 months and still farking around with it, it just drains you, could be because I am an old fart and not as easy to get along with :yes::unsure::yes:

Just the way the car feels now I can feel it will be awesome when it is sorted :wub:

I see it from the mechanics side cause I use to be one, and as i said most of what is going on is bullshit and they should ashamed to hand out work like that, but blaming them for the starter is a bit much

Like the customers I use to have, change their oil and come back a week later saying I f**ked their wheel bearing

You have every right to complain for things that are obviously not right but just don't blame them for everything cause sometimes shit happens

OK, if you have something that works perfectly well and your car goes in for some work , they pull your part out and re install it and it comes back and it is stuffed, you just say shit happens,stick your hand in your pocket without question, I do not understand your logic ?

And I do know shit happens at times , some times it just does not stop , haha

Agree Brett, if the sm is legitimately buggered it's buggered and Pete would probably be fine paying for a replacement plus fitting. However in this case instead of just being genuinely concerned and providing an answer as simple as 'sorry to hear that, not good, let us look at it when you bring it in' they offer him a weirdass excuse and the opportunity to pay even more money (top $ for fitting no doubt) for a product he doesn't need.

(Edit: Pete's beaten me to it)

I'm aware of another situation where two bolts holding the ac comp bracket to the block were left out, so it wouldn't surprise me if they just didn't tighten the sm bolts.

Take it to Jez and I can absolutely guarentee that you will be 100% happier how it drives

Jez would be well advised to stay out of this mess...until such time as CRD are finished doing whatever they are going to do or Peter decides to cut his losses with them.

It is unfortunate that some blokes knew my builder, I never mentioned them and wish it would have staid like that,but ?

Jez is not involved in this situation, some blokes have said he is an option for future work because I asked some time back for a shop that is closer to the mid North Coast, Gosford is about 1 1/4 Hrs easier both ways, he has never been contacted by me , I have not contacted anyone else, I have my builder..

The car is going back to the builder and I am sure they will do the right thing, by now they will be wishing me to the shit house, after the situation has been rectified I doubt if we will do any new business again, I am finished with modifying cars !

A full racing head might be the go, how about a different turbo, bigger brakes, seen a nice shinny radiator, hahaha

It is all good and will be worked out soon

    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
