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..

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

Yeah forgive me if I stop bothering clearly bunch of butt hurt in here with attempted jibes.. Poor by WL status might I add

Haters gon hate fact is my cars probably worth what all your cars combined are so yeh I asked the wrong people .. Birds/ham/pulsar man

Dezz mang knows what's up

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...

Holy shit... is your car expensive?

Honestly dude... no one is impressed

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.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
