My cars in to get a few mods put on....

Was just a bit amazed at how long they have estimated it will take to put on a few standard sorta mods. The place is quite professional andwell known, just a bit amazed.

FMIC, air filter, dump pipe, cold air intake. What would be your guess? I know that alot of people have had to to move a few bits n pieces on their gt-ts + other cars to fit the FMIC.

car is a 99 GT-T

im not 100% sure but i would estimate around 2 hours (or a bit more) for the intercooler, Hour of even less for the dump. And the Cold air intake is a piss nothing job.

allow 6 hours for fmic if they are welding up the pipes from scratch, if its a kit probably half the time. depends if they get interrupted during the work. rule of thumb, get what they quote and add another day

I mean if a mechanic was to dedicate a time frame to sit down and do it from start to finish, in hours.

Ah, I see what you mean now. Paul's reply is pretty much spot on. I can guess a few workshops it could be from Perth, but how long have they said it will take???

well its simple. if they are a popular workshop then they will get stacks of emails and calls from dudes who want stuff and want advice. so they have to keep stop / strarting work on your car each time so yeah it can get sidetracked. so just add a day to whatever they've said. more often than not it will run late or delayed. its performance, theres always something gone wrong or not matched or doesnt fit etc

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
