Honestlly im not comfortable in posting this info on the open forums.

Maby someone else might post the companys name under an alter-ego login or something. Because i used to work in this industry it may seem like a stab into their business. I dont work in this industry anymore but like i said no need to start trouble.

I just wanted to inform of the bad service and confusion I experenced on this topic.

yea, i have received the name of the company and although i have never experienced bad service myself, good and bad things have been said about them, as with any workshop. For anyone wondering the workshop we are talking about here is sort of like the abc without the b....figure it out for yourself, if the owner wants to sue me for slander or defamation, all i can say is, have fun!

i have only heard that the above mentioned company is expensive, thats the only negative comments i have heard before from people that have had work done by them. compared to some top sydney workshops prices though they aren't really that bad.

I would recommend P.I.T.S for tuning however.

a company can charge what ever they like for their services, but generally you find that companies who charge a premium for their services are also giving superior services at the same time.

Unfortunately in this case they went out of their way to call him back and to alienate a potential customer who has in turn told a few people about his experience, who in turn will tell a few more people and so on.

I know I have already related the story to at least 20 people, who are probably telling other people as well. As I said it's a small world and actions that this particular workshop has taken has cost them who knows how many potential customers.

Price has nothing to do with it but attitude certainly does and in this respect the saying is true "the customer is always right"

I just wanted to inform of the bad service and confusion I experenced on this topic.

yer, well thats pointless if you dont tell us who it is

it just leaves the rest of us likely to be burned

matt from pits is good, i think its like 150 an hr with the controller or 200 without, but its quicker without casue he has software for it, but dont qoute me on this.

also, it can take anyware from 1 to 4 hrs he said

Im in the process of gettin my Power FC installed

and taking it to F.I.S.T as i have had my car tuned there before

and was impressed with the results ,There service and there tuning capabilites .

I have dealt with workshops that i have had bad experiences with .

And not goin to them again as my time and money has been wasted .

Workshops that i have had good experiences with are F.I.S.T

Exotic Exhaust, Fitter at Autobarn slack creek, Right Price Exaust .

Thanks

I think i may just start a new thread as a holler to great workshops and service from companies. I have seen a few older threads around. But with the change of management and so forth and name changes we need a new one.

I have always found forum sponcers are the best because they take a personal intrest in the cars and hence a sponcer of the forums.

Some workshops say "arhhh" when you say skyline and then jack the price up just for you.

Did some shopping today for wheel allinements due to brand new suspension changing all the settings. Found most shops to be very helpful and they have redeemed my confidence in the industry. I mean when i worked for ford years ago customer service was the top prioity. If i were to say something un-nice or blunt i would be fired.

I believe that the customer is the business... I work in customer service everyday now... There are nicer ways to treat people you may not like. My personal hate is smell.... If they smell i dont like them.... LOL

I happen to have a calling card in my wallet given by Trent at Mercury

why not give them a call...they tuned my Wolf 3D and was impressed by the service i get..told them i needed the car by 5pm coz i need to be home and they did everything they had to finish the car and i was even there waiting coz home is an hour drive away -- while waiting you get to relax and watch DVD on their cossy waiting room or read magazines..very impressive service.

so here

Mercury Motorsport

and oh yeah....

POST IT..POST IT...we all wanna know LOL.

    • Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...
    • I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
