ok, can somebody PM me with the car yard.

I know a guy who is very high up in Main Roads in the traffic inspection area.

I'll see if i can get hold of him for u Amy. (he is VERY busey man)

I used his services about 4 years ago and got a workshop shut down for dodgy roadworthies... and they still to this day have not paid for the repairs! (thats another story!)

AFTER you get ur sweeet ride back, do all import drivers a favour and ring ACA and today tonite.. even a very large news paper! let everbody know about these jerks.

I think I saw ur car in the area that u found it.. i was checking out the rear apron on it! Nice car!

I travel from Brizzy to Hearvey Bay weekly for workl. I see lots of nice imports.. I remember things that nice!

Well, at least you found it! GPS tracking for your car hey?

any new developments?

one thing I just remembered reffering to the car yard in question,

Back when it was melb cup day my mates car was back for like the 10th time to be fixed (same problem every time) he had aranged with the owner of the yard to have his car dropped off to him at work (because he refused to drive the totaly unroadworty POS Loan car any more)

Anyway come 5pm my friend call to make sure the car will be dropped off and the receptionist informs him that "the boys have had a few too many to drive, you will have to come pick it up yourself" at this he became very pissed as this meant asking his boss to leave early yet again

None of this mattered anymore as minutes later he got a call back from the receptionist saying that the car was on its was, his comment to her was so a couple of drunk guys a driving my car back? there was silence on the other end...

Sure enough his car came screaming into his work place driven by the guys that had a few too many to drive... the car smelt of clutch/brakes as though it had just been thrashed... what more can you say...? and it was still playing up!

Anyways the end of the story to date is his car is now fixed by another mechanic and has been trying to get reimbursement from the said car yard, will see what happens as he dropped off a 4 page letter of demand yesterday and plans on taking them to court as it cost around $600 to get it running right.

should post the name of the business. it sounds fair that everyone knows the name of the company as someone this dodgy should not be in business. if they go out of business so be it!!

Think of how many people you could stop this from happening to. something to think about......

    • Thank you for the links. I’m going to go with the 6pin plug you used. next step is rust treating re painting dash support bar and steering column then the 6pin cradle plug when it arrives in the mail.
    • I don't how much the car makes a difference or whether it is just a question of gearbox and clutch. On mine it's fine. Pull type Nismo coppermix twin (standard, not competition) on the 5 speed in my Stagea. OEM slave cylinder. Bite point is a few cm off the very bottom of the pedal. Clutch pedal all the way down to put in gear, and when heading off at the lights, there's a tiny bit of nothing and then it starts biting. And fully engaged before the pedal is all the way released. There's a bit of play at the top where the pedal does nothing anymore. Are you in Australia @ck_chino? If you are set on using a Nismo slave cylinder I have one new-in-box at home. Ordered it together with the clutch but didn't get it fitted. We can work something out if you want it
    • I am using a pull nismo coppermix twin in an r34 getrag box, had both the standard slave and  then the nismo one. Adjusted pedal to get bite point how I wanted , it is on the higher side, but would fully disengage past half way down.  I also read that the nismo slave won't work but I had no issues with the stroke, might become one later as clutch wears but 2+ years of happy motoring so far.  Take the above as one input only, specially as my setup is a bit unique in that I am using an S15 clutch master , cefiro clutch pedal, custom braided clutch line. Lots of variables at play. 
    • Oh for sure, I'm just recounting my thoughts 😎 I'm not what you've got there to fuzt with.... likely my first idea was on the money -- rebuild or replace connectors. You can get a lot of connector stuff here  -> https://www.rapidcables.com.au/ Didn't look in the boot of mine, because I replaced these when I renewed the pump (plastic of connectors had gone brittle) edit: what I used... https://www.efihardware.com/products/2120/Deutsch-DTM-Connector-Kit-6-Pin ...cheaper... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364900039138
    • In no way was i suggesting it’s your fault mate. The trailer cable has a plug that I removed. I will have a closer look, but I did remove the trailer wiring cable with the tow ball as I don’t need it on my silo. i have replaced the fuel pump already there’s no need to remove the cradle again I can see the wire colours from it in.
