R33BOY - im a tradesman and i have every right to charge good money for my time and knowlege

if you saw the equipment we have and knew the cost of it you would understand why our rates are high

go price up some factory scan tools as well as some generic ones, plus their software updates and then come back and have a cry

and just fyi BMW charge 185 per hour

Anthony dude.. calm down... these people are admiring yr knowledge which provides you the right to earn such money.

like.. good on ya man...

I think that before you call someone a tightarse though, and u've done it quite a bit of late.. you should realize that not many people have the means of a mechanic/auto elec., don't you think?

Hey if i'm wrong feel free to flame.. i just thought i'd mention it..

im calm mate

i was simply stating to R33BOY that he has no idea of the costs involved in running a business like ours

honestly i was offended at his "how do you sleep at night" comment, because im not one to rip people off

i just hate how people expect tradesmen to work for nothing

anyway this isnt my thread

someone help the guy with his wipers

Edited by 2GU UP

PM send jeffworld,

how long do you rekon it would take?

hey guys, 2gu up has the right to charge whatver price he wants.

all auto eleccys are pricey coz the wiring & electrical side of things is a b*tch,

but please keep this thread clean :rofl:

thanks ugys.

then you got all the model specific tools for all the complicated head case cars out there, the tools needed for nsx's are almost as much as buying a band spanker off the lot.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
