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.

what are u getting done???

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.

So....... have you actually left the car yet??? Or are you still driving around with a big silly grin on your face???

i reckon hes got a massive cheesy grin plastered on his face, the same one as the first time he got laid.

hell i would if i was driving that gtr

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.

just on the tuning side of things, charlies at wooloongabba are very good with skylines. ive never had a problem with them, and ive got a few other mates with rb's getting their cars tuned there.

:D Charlies is still there?? i thought he went outta business is shop looks really empty and have 4 sale signs up. :bunny:

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.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
