  1. BAH!!! If only I could get my fuel rail seated properly
  2. Cheers Tony, you exc guys are really pulling things together top work hey!
  3. Is there a list or something around for these shops?
  4. For the record... the shop I took the car into was the original shop that built the car, it even still has their logo on the engine cover..... needless to say this will be now removed.
  5. Hope you find it soon, so many stolen skylines......
  6. Thanks for the feedback, good to know its not just me that thinks this was a pretty piss poor effort.
  7. Thanks GeeTeeTee - ps: your build thread is awesome! TTT - good question, even worse is why did they have to take out my intercooler? gearbox was for supply & fit. should be a warranty on box, box is all good now just have this injector and boost leak problem now.
  8. I work in a law firm. I won't be naming the workshop publicly, word will get around. Just a shame it had come to this. You know after all the problems I still called him up and gave him a chance to fix the problems but after I copped the abuse on the phone I am really contemplating my options in regards to the law courts. Many of the lawyers I work with really want a go at him.
  9. Cheers guys, yep will hopefully get these injectors resealed and be on my way. Who would of thought all this would come from changing a gear box.... To make it worse 1 week before the old box died on me... ( reverse band broke) I payed to get the auto fluid changed.... $600.00 down the drain lol
  10. This is a rant thread just wanted to share this nightmare I'm having and hear some thoughts on what to do next.. Monday 24th June - Towed my car to the workshop for a gearbox replacement. ($180.00 tow truck cost) Saturday 29th June - Get a call from the shop that its all good to go. I go in to pick it up, pay the money then start it up. Fuel starts spitting out from injectors, wait 2 hours while they try and re-seat the injectors while just filling my engine bay with fuel. Eventually they seal up the injectors and send me on my way. While driving to a meet a notice that its only hitting 12PSI (used to hit 16PSI) and gear box doesn't select 4th gear. Loud whining noise coming from the box. Sunday 30th June - Drive car out to the Northside, end up stranded as I noticed the gearbox was leaking auto fluid everywhere. Car sits at a random location out in the open on Sunday night. Have to cab it home $40.00 cab fare. Monday 1st July - Take dayoff and work cab back out to the Northside (another $40.00) to meet tow truck driver to tow the car back to the shop (tow truck cost me another $180.00). Half day a right off. Wednesday 3rd July - Take half day off work in the arvo to get a lift with a friend back to the workshop to pick up the car, they called said it was ready to go, I asked them to double check everything as this was the last day I could take off. I get there they give me the keys and say its good to go, I notice a couple of things, oil dripping from auto box & scratches all over my engine head... I let them know about the dripping oil, had to wait 30 minutes while they found the mechanic who then just changed a washer and told me to keep an eye on it.... While driving home it only hits 6 PSI and sounds terrible. So when I get back to work let it cool down notice that one of the clamps for the intercooler wasn't even on. Have to cab it home. (another $30.00) Thursday 4th July - Cab it into work (another $30.00), Bring tools with me fix up the intercooler clamp on my lunch break..... then go to start it up and injector 5 starts spitting fuel everywhere.... So I call up the mechanic once again and let him know the injector is leaking and I won't be paying for a tow back down there. So after he abuses me and tell me he did me a favor he then gives me a number for an injector guy to call.... Seriously what is this crap? Doesn't anyone car about their reputation anymore? If I ran my business like this I would be a bum living on the street... Attached images are of scratches on cover and how I found the intercooler clamp.

  14. Whhhaattt you have to pay the impound fee even though it was stolen? That doesn't sound right...
  15. t5iv Rather not say the shop security reasons pm me if you wanted to know. As for what happened.. long story short... Reverse clutch packs gone due to driveway far to steep.... so now have to keep the car elsewhere which is a bit of a pain
  16. Morning! Car towed to the workshop this morning. Gearbox getting replaced. Hell yes, can't wait !!!
  17. had to share..
  18. What do you mean she told the cops but they didn't do anything ?
  19. Since when was the general public qualified to make such decisions? so stupid, I can't believe this is actually able to happen. I hope we don't have anything like this in QLD
