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 :/ ??????????????????????????????????

    • 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.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
