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

    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
