He's not worried about the value of his suspension compared to a race car... A race car is rough, regardless of how much it's worth... The interior is stripped, the panels get raced wheel to wheel etc..

Then there's the blatant ripping off of customers..

This is where the cost of a Tax accountant that knows what they are doing outweighs the costs   FYI $300/h

Dezz... no one on here is going to listen to you ripping on centreline and think you are being objective lol

You are more scorned than a woman that just found out her husband has a mistress

i care about the seats being clean in both my cars, but quality of work, quality parts and knowledge will always trump workshops I feel hesitant about when I walk in/meet the staff. the first few places I took the pulsar (new the "scene") were definitely regretful decisions. but workshops can pick up extremely quickly if you know your stuff, some places just dont give a shit however.

I also try not to rag-out workshops. Even if i wasnt happy, doesnt mean theyre shit for everyone. if someone asks for 2c, ill summarise my experience.

Anyone who wants both sides of a story instead of the usual dick sucking that goes on on this forum because people are scared of a lawsuit that's never gonna happen, will listen to my story.

Put mechanic's seat covers on your seats and a floormat in your foot well

Believe it or not, plenty of people are as protective about their 10k cars as you are about your penis extension and have their cars looked after by most workshops

If you're that concerned, tell the workshop beforehand that you don't wanna see any marks on the interior

Would you reccomend a shop that set your car up, then literally no more than a week later told you that they could see your setup was 'way out' just by looking at it?

That wasn't my point. Im sure you had a shit experience with centreline (only one i have ever heard of). My point is that there is a bit of boy who cried wolf going on here... i just see you crying about the same shit again and again and end up completely disregarding what you are saying as it just looks like pissed off ranting.

Every place will make mistakes... look at that guy in china that destroyed his lambo because of the service he got from Lamborghini in both china and Italy...

Once had a guy book his Holden HQ into my workshop for gearbox work - told us on the phone that it had just been restored and painted so he didn't wanna see a single scratch on it. Thought wanker, but whatever. He rocked up and the fkin thing had dings and scratches everywhere. I told him to f**k off.

Nope didn't mention it once actually just asked for places with a care factor above the zero that most places show I've had numerous cars been to loads of after market workshops basically ALL of them have been substandard IMO & I'm not saying with just expensive cars even both skylines and other basic cars I don't give a fk what a bunch of people on the internet think - does anyone? I hope not cos fk that would be sad.

Anyway like I said talking to the wrong crowd I mean Jesus u drink coffee from a jar what was I thinking

Bit hard to hear anything but praise for workshops on this forum, only forum I've ever been on that is so worried about a lawsuit from a business because someone dared to say something other than how good they are.

I say the same thing again and again because the story doesn't change. It happened exactly as I've said it did, no reason to change it. The fact is, ridiculous price aside, anyone who wants to take their car to a place where the owner sets your car up, then proceeds to tell you that whoever set your car up is useless because he can see just by looking at it parked in his driveway that it's f**ked, is either a f**king useless f**k head, or a scamming cock sucker.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
