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 :)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
