Just wanted to say a public thankyou to none other than Chris Rogers :)

I had my Skyline booked in with him today to have some work done after reading everyones recommendations on the forum, and whaddya know - Im travelling down the Gateway and and and... flat tyre. Pulled over, went to get the spare and its a 5 stud instead of a 4 stud. Only had the car 2 weeks, didnt think to check the spare. Der me *insert eye roll*

SO...I ring Chris to say I will be late, whilst mentally figuring out what to do to get back on the road and Chris ( the legend he is, and to my shock ) offers to go to a wrecker and get me a tyre AND brought it to me! I was sitting there thinking "Huh? This guy doesnt even know me!!"

I cannot express how grateful I am for his kindness and generosity. I had only messaged him a few times arranging my work done today, so to do this for a random person, Im just blown away.

Added to that, the perfect job he did of my immobiliser, keyless entry and boot release, to say Im stoked is an understatement. He also did a few other things for me like plug the clock in while the dash was out, the lighter light now works and he also removed a stupid switch that did nothing ( and bugged me LOL ) and replaced it with a cover.

I just cant thankyou enough Chris, what a pleasure to meet you and I hope one day I can return the favour if youre ever stranded down my way !!

Manda :rolleyes:

P.S Thanks to Col-GTSX for your suggestion - I shall be doing just that :blink: I know thats vague but he knows what Im on about LOL

Yes he is a champion, he's the only person who has touched the electrics in my cars for the last, I dunno, 8 or 9 years, and why myself and others will continually recommend his services!

I'm sure he'll appreciate you taking the time to post this up, thankyou's do make a difference :wave:

Can I just add, Chris has been more than helpful to me in the past. He flew out all the way from Brissy to Adelaide to help APS with a complicated alarm install on my car - taking a break from his busy schedule at Adelaide Autosalon. Great bloke all round and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone out there!

Got to agree with this sentiment. Chris has always been willing to help however possible.

really appreaciated and certainly the first person I would refer any business to.

The best business ethics I have ever found. Wish he was in Sydney! But then he would just be corrupted by the Sydney hussle and bussle like all of us.

Cheers and thanks

Andy

    • That could very well be the thermistor, but the ECU only sees Volts. VDO don't seem to provide a 0-5 volt curve, only the resistance curve.... (or line).
    • Yes. Probably, given that there is only access from the bottom end of it, go with a drill bit. Don't start too small. 7 or 8mm is probably the right size. You want something that can make a big enough hole to do some damage, but not so bit that it clashes with the steel or binds up and breaks your wrist. A slow speed is probably a good idea too. Once the rubber is destroyed, you then have to get the crush tube off the stud, which will be the whole heat/oil/cutting exercise all over again, but this time with the need to strictly avoid damaging the stud (any further than the corrosion might already have done.
    • We replaced the connector just because we could and it was still there, once we swapped the injectors around it stopped. The injectors were something I had thoughts of replacing even before I first started the engine and in hindsight I should have 
    • Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.
    • I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
