I am waiting for a call back from them. My car is still with them and when I try to call them I am getting their answering machine, they must be on lunch.

What was going to be approx $80 and 1 hour to be done while I wait has turned into $220ish and all day.

If the quality of the work is good then I have no problems with the extra time, I will just know better for next time.

its hard to find a workshop these days that will actually use communication skills

that's why i was amazed when i used elite racing. dan called me to give updates and called before even thinking about charging more than quoted so we could discuss my engine plans and his plans. A1 communication.

Got the car back. No unauthorised work was performed. They looked over the whole car and printed out a list of minor things that need doing.

All seems good. It was a good experience all round.

showbag,

I had to get the gearbox and atessa system drained, then have the atessa system flushed to remove the gearoil that was put in it.

You are assuming Ben has been laid. I believe he was the inspiration for the "40 yo virgin" movie. :blink:

Is it really THAT different from driving a well set up GTS-T????

If it is....... I will have to see for myself then......

i dont think it would be that different, but i just love bens gtr, its the only gtr that i truly like.

Just because I was smart enough to not implant my seed and prove how bad it was doesn’t mean I haven’t spread it around on occasion! :yes:

Yeah the car is back on the road, sorting out the next bunch of go fast mods now to be fitted over the next 4 weeks.

If anyone has info on using RB20 Air Flow Meters on a GTR then please PM me.

hmmm, ive heard that from a couple of ppl but that was a few months ago and my car has been in there to get tuned since then and i didnt see any for sale signs nor was i told they were shutting down. thats not to say it hasnt happened. my car was in there about 4 weeks ago so something may have happened since. shame if they have shut down, dave is a great tuner.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      F my life. I was changing the oil on my R32 GTR today as usual and ran into a bit of a snag. I drained the oil out and was getting ready to finish the job by tightening the drain plug, however The stupid magnetic oil drain plug snapped in half, right at the magnet part. After about an hour of trying to remove it, I used a drill bit, which unfortunately pushed the magnet all the way into the pan, and just leaving the hollow threaded part of the bolt remaining. I was able to remove the hollow portion of the bolt from the oil pan with some pliers but the magnet is still in there.  So, the question is, should I drop the oil pan to get the magnet piece out, or is it okay to leave it in there? I really dont want to drop the pan, i'm about to go nuts.  PSA: Do NOT buy a BLOX magnetic drain plug. This is the one i had.    https://bloxracing.com/products/magnetic-oil-drain-plug-m12x1-25mm?variant=37131252859052&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw47i_BhBTEiwAaJfPpgti1D2JwO7TDuMpXuqeQPCuIQSAfwxpWQH5rF9MD7sm5SCZDWLR_RoC_YoQAvD_BwE

      I actually have an aftermarket hanger, the detschwerks x1 hanger, but my dw420 has never really sat in it correctly, good to know I can just modify it a bit to suit. Yeah cheers man will definitely have a play with it and hope it solves my dramas.
