What's a few more weeks, hopefully it will be sorted when you get it back then plenty of enjoyment ahead.

Daz, it is not the time so much, even though it pisses me off, BUT how hard is it to answer these 3 questions

1. Is the leak fixed

2. Has the tune been completed, please send Dyno Graph or are there problems stopping you from finishing the tune

I do not need a diarised report , I have nothing to pay for , just tell me what has been completed.

That is the problem, customer service and lack of communication.

There is no doubt these blokes are good at what they do and I understand that some things show up after this type of build. As I have said before, I was not worried as I was sure they would rectify any faults.

I had been through a dragged out build with them and did not expect it to start all over again.

Nothing worse than being totally ignored when you inquire about your car and even worse when the only time they email you is to say you will get a "Diarised Report" Tomorrow, stuff tomorrow! email the answers to the questions, done and I would not be sitting here at 6 in the morning writing this shit.

No doubt this Report will be a drawn out load of double talk to make everything look good for them and that is OK as most BIG companies do similar reports. This is a mob with about 5 workers and 2 owners, not Nissan Motors.

I just want to know what is finished and what is not and why. Then I go away and sulk for an hour and go back to waiting, well until I am ignored again :)

I feel for you mate.

lack of communication is terrible.

hope they at least answer your questions today and dont tiptoe around it.

It is so stupid to cause this type of backlash when it is easier to just "communicate !"

Anyway, enough of this crap, I will post the outcome :)

Have you tried giving them a call? Most of these workshops are pretty terrible on emails, phone is always much better!

Don't I know that :)

When I have called the person to speak to is busy or out, so if I do not get a reply I go back to emails. I know they get them.

They have a bloke sitting in front of the computer all day, he passes the information along and then most of the time when they do not want to answer for whatever reason, it gets ignored. It does your head in after a while, I guess if it did not happen before with the build I would not be so upset, but it did and left a bad taste in my mouth .

I also know they read this thread and would not be happy with me dragging up this shit, well that makes 2 of us, but after a while being ignored who gives a shit :(

:\ it should be the guy behind the desks job to know what's happening with each car....

There is no doubt in my mind that he knows everything that goes on, he is a smart bloke, BUT what he knows is one thing and what he can say is another.

why would you have an office worker and not allow him to sort this shit out before it hits the fan, it is just plain dumb!

I had from 1 to 3 office workers at different times during my business years, BUT I handled all complaints and repairs, I did this to make sure if there was a manufacturing problem I could rectify it before it went any further and caused a bigger problem.

If someone was not happy with one of my products I went to their home personally to sort it out, there was no one else to blame, the $ stops at the top.

So it's been weeks in the shop for tune tidy up, new dump pipe and replace top rad hose?

Thats about it, had a reply so things are looking up and stopped it falling into the toilet .

Want to make your business better, yes ?

I used the " C" word , Communication, Customer Care, Client Consideration, it is so much better for your business, easier and better than pissing them off :)

Well had the diarised report , it was very comprehensive .

They installed a 3.5" Dump and a 100 cell cat, but it gave no noticeable power gains ?

They also tried 2 different types of cams and found the bottom end similar but the other cams gave more power at the top end and re installed the original cams.

The water leak seems to be OK but I will know more tomorrow after the car had been road driven over the weekend.

If all goes well the car will be on the Dyno tomorrow and I will get a Dyno Graph to compare with the old one.

I am a bit pissed that the new sized dump/cat did not help much

He ran vehicle on dyno at high power and noticed power lower than previous

- Lowered boost and performed full power run

- All OK,

But as long as it is going strong, all good :)

After driving it home I will have a fair idea how it is all working and work out what to do next :/ ??????????????????????????????????

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
