    the light is on all the time or it comes on after a while? check the codes on the computer under the parcel shelf
  2. i guess being friendly and asking nicely is going to get me further than being difficult and demanding. i hate feeling out of pocket on someone elses mistake but when its not going to be worth it, theres no point burning bridges.
  3. if you know what part it is then its going to be quite obvious what workshops will be involved. Plus its not really relevent to the outcome or advice anyhow.
  4. also after hks dumps, possibly n1 turbos as well pm call or sms on 0415388623
  5. youve said it yourself, cold day and no intake restriction is 300 get some good pods and one power dyno run and youll get the 300
  6. is there anyone who makes chinese copies of hpi/tomei/sunline larger bellmouth dumps for gtr i only see a copy of the hks split dumps, crap design to start with.
  7. Both workshops colaborated in getting this component working but not working properly. Are you saying that because the the interstate workshop can claim that the work was not done correctly by the local workshop that theyre not responsible? its a question of blame and im in the middle of it being out of pocket. I have no intetion of pitting one workshop against another, i just dont think its fair that i have to pay for expensive labour for something that is in no way my fault and out of my hands. Hopefully local workshop will speak to intestate workshop to determine the nature of the problem. For me its a question of blame and who will take responsibility. You talk about prone-to-failure installation. From doing similar work myself to a previous car, i cant see the labour being anything other than strait forward. I trust my local workshop and hope they value my continued buisness enough to tell me the truth about what has gone wrong in this situation. Birds, thanks for an indepth reply, it is appreciated
  8. Its not a turbo and its not "broken" nothing to do with power or how it was treated, it just wasnt done right resulting in some side affects that can be proven the design, rebuild is at fault. It was an advertised performance service, rebuild so i dont think anyone was under the wrong impression. im cirtain ill get the part repaired for free but its the labour cost i rather not incure. just wanting to know what you guys would do, sometimes its easyier doing the labour yourself. gave that up with the r31. gtr is a whole different story and i thought it was safe to do research and take it to the best places.
  9. Cant say - Dont wanna give anyone a bad name + i think ill get banned if i do.
  10. Hello, Ive come to the conclusion of possibly taking legal action against a workshop in another state. Got an item rebuilt at a reputable workshop interstate and there now is a problem with it according to my local reputable workshop. Labour in taking this item out, having it sent off and them put back in will be around $1000 dollars. I dont feel obligated to pay for labour that had to be done for something that was not my fault or my local workshops fault. Would it be out of line to request the interstate workshop pay for the labour if it is proven that the fault is theirs? (I can most likley get a written and signed document stating the cause of the fault and who is responsible) Does anyone here have any suggestions, feelings or advice on the matter and want to know if this has this happened to anyone on here before? Is there any ombudsman or government department that deals with disputes or requests such as these? Thanks.
