Here is a story for all Brisbane skyline owners shoudl read, I took my Car to edited to get a noise in muffler cheked out, the mechanic said i cant do it till next week so i had to wait as i TRusted him anyway when i took my car there to be fixed and i was quoted a couple of hunderd.

i dropped car off and two weeks later and a few hundred calls around to see if he finished i was told its the turbos that need replacing, so i found some second hand ones and had them put on. Luckly the way was a sau member and sold me some really good cond ones.

then i was quoted 400 to hae turbo put on. i was ok with that too. as i said car was sitting in his garage for 2 weeks, and he charged me 1200 dollars, as well as all this when i got my car back i had cracks in my sideskirts and my intercooler was not connected(had to do it myself) also cars spark plugs had to be changed as they needed replacing and had to baby car home same night as it sounded like a wrx and lost all powr .

anyway let this be a warning to all you guys edited is a shitty workshop and cannot be trusted.i am still to get an invoice mailed to me till today.

will be definetly taking it further with RACQ as well as fair trading.

of course though, what he did is inexcuseable (in lighto of what I said above - that was just a comment), also, 1200 for somethign that was quoted less, and stuffing up the car totally, and damaging it is unacceptable.

I know that if it was me, I wouldn't pay the invoice, and if he wished to commence proceedings against me, he most certainly would have a cross claim against him.

Sorry blokes. I had to remove the workshop name. It is not to be published publicly. If you're in Brisbane, please feel free to PM zilla33.

No, this isn't meant to be censorship. This is meant to stop Christian (SAU owner) from being sued and us losing SAU. Please shoot over a PM if you wish to discuss further.

Cheers! Mark

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
