maybe throw up a rough price for general service (oil/filter/plugs), then maybe a diff oil/trans oil change, to things like links/bushes/suspension just to give people an idea. Seems like timing belts are your thing :D, rough price to get one changed? maybe even turbo swaps/manifold swaps, not everyone needs work right now, but if something where to come up then its always a good reference.

will keep you in mind, if im unable to do it myself :ban:

ok then .

quotes.

timing belts full kits inc,water pump,bearings,fresh coolant,belt,seals,checkover car,from 700$.

service oil and checkover car from 65 inc mineral oil and filter.

direct bolt on turbos for rb's from 250$

full service inc,gearbox,check diff,,engine,brake,and complete check pver from 140$inc parts and labour .

really if you can find better on these prices i would say go for it as they are not much for labour.

cheers,

ps. had plenty of happy customers ,

hope every one is happy with the service as i am pretty sure that they are.

Just to give John another :thumbsup: - he did the water pump, cam belt, tensioner, idler, air/powersteer/alternator belts on my 32 GTR. He did great work and gave me a good price. It was also cool to be able to hang around and chat about a few other aspects of the car. Definitely recommended.

i don't know john so i can't say if he's good or not... he sounds decent

one thing that will be a worry is that he doesn't have public liability (???)

this could be an issue if you get a dickhead customer who screams 'you broke my car!'

i need an auto electrician... i want a relay or solenoid installed in my car as it has hot start problems?

can you do this? i prefer not to replace the starter as it's ok otherwise

just engine with no box or complete car ,

as i have to do this in my driveway and it is hard with no hoist it would not be worth it as you would be able to get any shop with even a bit of gtr knowledge would probably be able to do it cheaper.unless its just engine it would not be woth it for me or you to do it.

sorry but im just laying it out straight.

cheers

what do you mean hot start probs. as in the car wont start again once its warmed up?

if this is the case its prob a faulty starter relay in that case just needs a replacement with a new one if thats not it i would need to have a look at it and yeah i can probably fix it !

ps. its good to see someone look from the mechanics p.o.v for once on the liability factor as that stuff does happen but i am not stupid and if something goes wrong thats my fault i warrant all the work i do.

cheers
