Well, I thought I'd practice what I preach and complement Ken and the boys @ Hyperdrive for fixing a problem with my car that had been bothering me for a couple of months.

Took the car in, took on of the guys for a drive, came back in, bang bang bang, problem fixed. 20 minutes of my time and a very large saving of money had I taken it elsewhere.

Thanks for your help Ken and Hyperdrive, it is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jason.

I think letting others know if you have a good experience somewhere is what this forum is for !

I think at times... we should be able to also say if we have a bad experience somewhere too, whatever happened to freedom of speech on public forums?

What is a usefull thread then??? This is a car forum - A post about a workshop will be helpful to people if they are looking for somewhere good to take their car.... won't it???

Hyperdrive are a SAUWA sponsor - our club considers each sponsor carefully before adding them onto the team - the majority of us have had great experiences there (especially that time on the workshop bench ken - you were great :D ) and word of mouth is great.

But if everyone posted their good experiences and bad experiences - the forums would just get choked ... a little like they are now .... after all we aren't "Choice" Magazine here where we go rating everyone and everything and doing bacteria tests etc.

Useful to me is more the DIY stuff - performance related stuff - little things that we should learn to do ourselves rather than run off crying to a workshop for and wonder then why we are low on their priority list cos they are probably looking at you thinknig "and you own a performance car and don't know how to do this or what this is??". :P

Thats fair enough :) Although I admit I have been here a little while and did not know that Hyperdrive were a sponsor - where can I find stuff like that??

This is why we dont go to Automasters because they would think a turbo is used to power neons. You go to a performance workshop because they know what the hell is going on.

As for them f**king up peoples cars im sure any decent perth Workshop (theres only about 5 or 6 in metro perth). Would happily sort you out if they broke something, in most cases im sure they would fix their mistake and avoid telling you, or do it and tell you after they did it and they replaced it for you with no charge.

All the shops arnt shit, some take more care, some take less, some charge more, some charge less and some just rip you the bork off.

Take the time to look around and what workshops are around, get prices, get advice and get your shit fixed!

No excuses for lazyness.

P.S. its Right not write

Now this thread is useless! Everyone knows the workshops everyones got their preferences and alot of people have close ties with one or the other. Find a workshop, dont just drop your shit in and leave, take a moment to have a chat to them, if they do you a favor buy them a 6 pack they will remember you and take care of you! Its the little shit.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
