No call from c-red so no info yet. Asked if i coyld be there for the dyno run but the guys said sorry :(. Mate of mine said usually reason they dont like people there watching as usually have issues or probs and they just wana get the job done, which is understandable

Some other mechanics do the same. Sometimes I wonder if they don't want people around cause they aren't actually doing anything :glare:

Customers become a liability standing around, if something were to happen they'd get in trouble.

And also customers get in the way, ask a million questions, pull you away from the job etc. Happens a lot here and then they get all shitty cos the job has overrun

Yay!, Four hour shift at work, then I need to take the skyline to get the fuels and go out and get some stuff to attach my license plate properly.

Nothing against customers wanting info on their cars, i don't mind it at all. Just makes progress on the cars slow

Totally get that, would rather them tell me that than making an excuse of space and noise and not safe >.> I used to ask customers to go away when I was working at the workshop.

And just like that i jinxed myself. Customer came in guns blazing because we have gone over time

Push the car onto the street and tell him to GTFO!

Fkn MA61 Poopra giving me dramas. Customer supplied brake pads - WRONG! So I ordered some from Veales - WRONG! Ugh, can't take a trick.

In my defence though, the customer supplied EBC pads and I looked at their online catalogue and his part numbers weren't even similar to what was listed. I triple checked my Bendix part with Veales, but nope it was wrong when it got here.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
