Dick's Auto Service : 9458 4829

Mate of mine suggested it and sez he does good work but the place does look a bit dodgy on the outside. Well he has had no complaints and the prices arnt too bad either.

Man does that suck though. ppl should leave a 5dollar bill on ure widscreen just for having the privledge of looking at a car soo beautiful:uh-huh:

My friend who works in the car detailing business told me to ring colourtech. These guys did an AWESOME job when i reversed into a tow ball (DON'T LAUGH!, it was on a black falcon at night with a black tow bar!)

So anyway i called colourtech and they gave me the name of a guy called Tony Stalker....This guy ws excellent!! he is about 50 or so and REALLY polite!

I got my tow ball dent and scratch fixed up and my drivers side view mirror repaint for $100!!!!!! i couldn't beleive it!! It was quite hard finding the colour for my car in the past (burgundy red colour) but he found it and matched it perfectly! he was also going to give me the left over paint but he forgot :-)

Initial D - I cant recommend this guy enough he did a top effort at a cheap price! i suggest you ring color tech and ask for his number!

just my 2 cents worth :-)

I heard some punk was sleeping on your boot last nite, u reckon it was the same guys?

Gradenko should have abused him and told him to get off but he was in his slippers and didnt get out of the car:lol: oh well im not sure if abusing 4-5 goons would be the best plan anyhow.:(

I thought it was odd that some guy was lying on your boot, so I called JoJo so see if it was one of your friends or not. Didn't want to run out there and start abusing someone that you knew. Plus, since I was only dropping my sis off, I was in slippers :D Not the ultimate in abusing apperal.

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
