Woudn't need an AVO to keep me away from you in fishnets.

you know how to hurt a girl :P

With the cold weather the car does not like to start, well it starts and you have to keep on it for a minute or it will konk out.

warm, no probs. But over took a slow bloke in the 100 zone in 5th and with load and the motor just died/stopped for a split second as you accelerate , drop off and it kick off again. Revs OK in lower gears up to 6000 rpm ish

Busting to have it sorted :(

Do some work Paul :)

What a joke.

If you portray yourself as someone with no knowledge then it seems you get taken advantage of. As per this case.

Not a very good look from a workshop that is/was reputable on here.

Yeah , I have been pissing myself laughing for a few months now, when will it stop , my tummy hurts from laughing :)

I had NO knowledge at all about modifying a car. That is why I used a shop with a pretty good reputation.

But I do not consider myself totally stupid, 2 jobs before were fine,price as quoted and on time.

I put it down to shit happens and it can be fixed, so no probs in the long run :)

You say what a joke,

But it's been the same issue from day dot. No matter how many posts or examples have been given over multiple weeks, its still the one issue, not multiple new problems arising.

Yes you are right, probably my fault bringing it up, but it is difficult when blokes ask what is happening not to vent a little frustration. I think it all goes back from day one and the way the job was handled from the getgo and then it all went tits up after the build was completed.

But it goes in next Monday , so it will be interesting to see how it comes back, these blokes are good mechanics and I believe they will sort it out .

Back to, shit happens :)

Jangles, do you have your build specs anywhere on SAU ?

Nah I've never done one

only because there used to be a zero tolerance on slander

I have no control over what someone else writes . That would mean anyone can go on a thread, crap on some company and the thread gets closed. Edit the post, not close a thread.

I mention what is wrong with my car, but always say I have no problem with my "builder" ( no name) , I say shit happens and they will be fixing the problems,

I never mention anyone's name and purposely do not put shit my on anyone but I can be unhappy about my situation , it is farking frustrating when you spend a shit load of $s and it is not right to drive after 8 months..

Goes in next week and hopefully that will be the end of this, well except I will be finishing the build at some stage and like to post the results

tell them it should be as good as this one, lol https://youtu.be/vfa7dn-N4F4

should do as good as a dirty VL :ph34r:

Yeah , hate to be sitting in the boot if it broke away :)

Someone could do that with my motor now, well after the dump/cat and fuel is upgraded, change the Turbo, cams and a new tune and it would be pretty strong, but maybe not where I want it "/

Off topic here.....so the car goes in next week?

How long will it be in for? I would be looking to get costs back on travel or push for something.

400+ KW on 98 or give it back :P

Yeah Brent/ Joey, next Monday and looking forward to get it back in A1 condition.

400+ I doubt it. I am not getting the new work done yet, I just want the problems fixed ASAP and move on.

As to when when it will be finished, guess it depends if they start straight away or not and if they are willing to give it the attention the job deserves. They should be able to have it done within a week or they are not trying , so time will tell :)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
