Lighthouse - no.

North/South Beach - no.

Robertson Pie Shop sounds cool. Can go up Macquarie Pass and down through Jamberoo. Great driving roads.

Again, I'm not keen to cruise with dickheads. It's hard enough to drive these things without getting attention as it is let alone travelling in a group that appears to be hooning.

+1

meet somewhere like albion park rail maccas then cruise up?

anyone else have experience wif WAS?

My white R33 is currently sitting in the workshop of WAS.

Kon is a great bloke. Just don't expect to rock up and have it booked in for the next day for things like tunes etc.

He's great, but busy!

Does top notch work too...

PS: i'm from Wollongong, but it's been around 8 - 10 months since my Skyline has graced the roads of Wollongong (Other then a 10 minute stint up the freeway a few weeks ago)

Whats yours getting done there?

I drove past the other day and just saw commonwhores so was a bit turned off.

It's in for a full tune.

Plus oil flush, coolant flush, and a few other things like a few PS lines changed.

Currently it's at the state if you can get it to start, it'll barely idle, won't rev much at all.

I KNOW I won't get a phone call, until it's basically driving like factory

I've given up on servicing my car now-a-days, I just can't be bothered jacking it up and doing all the shit, that it'll be going to WAS for everything from now on.

Kon does work on a lot of Holdens and Fords as he loves V8s, BUT if you go by enough, you'll see those Holdens and Fords being challenged for numbers by the WRX, Skylines, and other imports.

He deals in them all, and his quality of work is TOP NOTCH.

I just moved to Kiama last week, would be good to organise a cruise and meet some sau ppls..

Does anyone know any good workshops in the area for general servicing?

Cheers

Johno

I'm interested in a cruise this Sunday. Be good to meet at Kiama Leagues Club car park, an maybe go for a cruise to Gerringong or ????. open for suggestions.

Ive used Screamnperformance at Fairy Meadows and if you dont mined the drive JEM @ Ingleburn 45 minutes from the Gong

cheers

Yeah im from the Gong also.

Bezerkly was my choice but just do most work myself now.

Ha ha ha, I went the other way, used to do everything myself, now I just can't be f**ked jacking the car up after the conversion, so I just pay Kon @ WAS now to do it all.

    • In the US the EPA has been going after shops that sold aftermarket ECU tuning software that allowed you to disable CELs for things like EGR, DPF, SCR, or TWC failure. They also went after shops for selling emissions delete equipment. Their logic is that all cars built for street use have this emissions equipment and you cannot do an after the fact conversion to an off-road vehicle not intended for street use. Cobb, Hondata, and similar companies have basically all revised their tuning software such that going forward you cannot suppress DTCs for emissions-critical systems, nor can you toggle systems on and off in the tune like EGR. You also cannot adjust OBD emissions monitoring logic. You can still tune these cars. But you have to do things the hard way, basically. For example Subaru FA20DITs used to delete the TGV system to get spare analog IO for a flex fuel sensor. EGR also has to be dramatically pared back because without the TGVs the stock EGR map causes bad misfires. Now instead they have to implement the flex fuel system as a CAN bus sensor instead. IMO, this is heavy-handed but the EPA in the US gave so much leeway for so long and the aftermarket relentlessly abused that leeway to the point that they could actually see the effects of all these emissions-deleted work trucks on their air quality monitoring for cities that haven't met Clean Air Act standards. It's one thing to have a few people deleting emissions on their weekend car that spends 9 months out of the year on jack stands. It's another thing entirely for entire fleets of tradies driving around 8 hours a day on deleted diesels that emit 1000x the emissions per mile of a compliant vehicle.
    • Hmmm. that's a tough one. There's a lot of history bundled up in that lot. Perhaps instead we can create a new pinned thread, called "Legacy Pinned Threads" and provide links to the these ones that will be unpinned in there. And maybe put the names of the pinned threads that are linked inside in the tags so they can seen from the outside? Or something like? I mean, it's half a step back towards having a more complicated forum structure, without actually having it. But there's a reason that heirarchical architectures exist. They are logical, and if executed properly, make it easy to find something without having any upfront knowledge of where it would be , and without using a search function.
    • Can we unpin a bunch of dead / irrelevant threads from: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/8-engines-forced-induction/ New players at home will scroll and think this forum is dead.
    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way
