thats a bit over board isn't it?

is he going to take any legal action?

he really should..

They had no insurance. they have closed down. The guy is broke. You cant get blood from a stone.

Well Don is pretty upset about the whole ordeal. Apparently they stuffed his car as well. hacked the crap otta it and didnt even put the rb26 in properly.

He is really over it and does not even have any high performance cars anymore.

I feel sorry for him as he was one of the decent ones around town.

Its f**ked.

I had a about 5k of parts sitting around at Turbotechnics for a while and NEVER had any problems.

Infact parts i left there 12 months ago are still there waiting with my name on it.

Thats the way a workshop should be anyone who goes there will know what i mean.

ok ok....guess I should share my perspective here

the car was beautiful...i loved it...hell I've loved all my performance cars but nothing is as special as a nissan...damn that car was a pleasure to drive!

I brought it in Oct 03....and in march 04 i got a a little money together to start playing with it...so I got bullshitted into taking it to a workshop that mad a mess of it...although she was putting out 295kw at the wheels hahaha on the dyno...at 19psi

I tried to get some compensation from the workshop that performed work on it that was by far substandard and in some cases unsafe...but i was wasting my time...

So I took it to pulse...reluctantly...but I was sold the dream..the bullshit

I should have seen the warning signs...cash strapped...putting the bite on me for more and more funds etc...everytime I asked the question..nufin but bullshit.

I start buying the 26 motor, buying parts...all top notch quality to fix the mess and end up getting a bigger mess not to mention parts stolen...

The workshop wasnt insured...cops did nothing...and I was left with a mess for a 34. The car was so bad...bring tears to your eyes to see it compared to what it was.

The cars paint was ruined...thanks to how it was stored, the motor was put in not even bolted to engine mounts, in actual fact sitting above one of them...2 dowell holding the engine to the g'box and only 2 bolts to hold it there....interior parts everywhere etc...the whole thing was a joke...a bad joke.

In the end...like most business decisions you have to decide when to cut your losses...after 2 workshops screwing it...i decided i coudlnt throw anymore money to it...it was going to cost me more to fix then let it go...so as hard as it was...i said thats it...

Now ppl might say he gave up to easy well put it in these terms...I spent almost @10k initially to mod it...then spent around another 10k buying parts for the 26 conversion plus around 6k or so for other bits...etc and all the while still paying for the car....which cost me @40k at the time to buy...

So enuf is enuf...time to let it go...my pockets arent deep enuf to keep it up forever.

I hope in the future to have another skyline...but for now I gotta work my ass off to save up the $$$ I effectively flushed down the toilet

Nope wasnt scotts in this instance...

but I have had experiences with them in the past and it wasnt positive.

why is it, in newcastle all we ever seem to hear and experience is bad things...i mean in all fairness you hear bad things everywhere BUT in newy it seems to be particularly bad...?

I'll add to bad things about Newcastle, the company I worked for a year and a half ago let me go on redundancy & then they couldn't even pay my super due to bankruptcy.

But other than that I still love Newy to live over anywhere else I've ever been :P

Waiting on a quote for a big ass service from DenStoj, hopefully that’ll run smoothly.

      Cold Start Rattling Sound

      By silviaz · Posted

      So my rb is finally having more problems. 2 issues here but I'm here to just to mainly discuss the rattle noise. The other day when I turned on the car and when I take off or go in reverse, there is a temporary rattle noise but when I cruise, boost, idle it's completely fine no rattle whatsoever. I've also done all the servicing, all the health checks you can think of and it all passes with flying colours.  Also the rattle doesn't increase with rpm, it's only at a very certain rpm (slightly above 1,100rpm). My other car also has the same issue every once in a while. Changed the oil recently, no difference. Even took my oil to a lab and everything was quite good surprisingly. Timing belt changed a while ago to. Had the car on the hoist and can't see anything obvious. Tightened a couple of nuts on the exhaust manifold a couple of months ago. 2 different clips uploaded. One of them was supposed to another issue but I'll save that for another time. Thought I'd see if anyone had this same noise before, it's a bit hard to diagnose while it's intermittent. If I'm not mistaken, I think I had this a while back but can't remember exactly. I was thinking if it's doable I'll get someone to hold the throttle cable at 1,100rpm and hopefully it replicates the sound. rb25det rattle only.mp4 rb25det slow start + rattle.mp4

      Yeah I’ll know when I take it for a test drive and I’ll double check the turbos as well when I have a look at it again.  Just thought maybe they might have done something in the head cause it looks like they’ve taken off the rocker covers 🤔 Thanks for your info!

      As Duncan mentioned it's likely a remapped ECU, like the the one listed in the link I post earlier:  https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/444260/car/444612/2099320/parts.aspx He quoted 444PS with an unopened engine and twin GT2510s @ 1.1bar boost... sounds about right?
