Yeh you were the guy at the Old skool, new age show at the autobarn booth thing? Your car looked pretty nice from what i remember. Always asked for the other dude in autobarn cos i thought he owned the 33 LOL I was in there not that long ago asking about O rings for fuel injectors, think it was you that i asked.

But yeh, i'd rather go there then to supercheap, nothing against supercheap, just know my way around autobarn and havn't had any problems with them.

haha yea my 33 was there and i was on the booth all day.i think i remember the 0 rings lol.

mate you probably could've said all that without the moron bit.......especially after telling Ryan and everyone else on here where you work

i dont see how me calling him a moron will make a difference in any thing.

Ryan was trying to wind him up and he succeeded... no harm no foul. The 200% bit was said in jest and so (I would Assume) was the moron bit.

how ever he is correct.

Not when its "customer feedback" :P

its not customer feedback when its on a forum......its customer feedback when its gets directed back to the business you dealt with

having said that.......stating that Car Toys are too expensive is not slander (I tend to agree)

but flaming staff and their business practices can be seen as slander :)

Its called freedom of speech. "Customer feedback" or "slander", either way there's alot of unhappy customers.

If their service is shit, then they'd have to expect to be flamed ... starting on forums.

I'd want advice on whats hot and whats not and where to shop. I don't want to be answered on "should I buy an intercooler from Autobarn" with an answer like "No, but I can't tell you why, because I might upset someone". :P

I dont want to cause any more shit fights about slander but if someones had a bad experience with a particular vendor, i would like to know so i dont run into the same problem. Everyone has their own opinion about certain places but feedback is good.

Dont the rules state to use the PM function to inform people of "bad" business's?? By all means make a thread if your unhappy but then wait for people to request PMs, until the workshop is bagged! If people dont care if you or someone else has been miss treated then thats their bad luck!!

Your right feed back is great, but rules are rules!!

You maybe surprised to hear that there's no such thing these days.....we're all accountable for every word that comes out of our mouth these days and its all because of political correctness and the way we've followed America's litigeous ways.

I agree Ryan, I would like to know if someone's a shark out there also but thats what PM is for unless we can give details of a specific incident and back it up if challenged about it.

Random flaming of a business is slander and against forum rules whether we agree with it or not.

I actually agree with you guys about important info being passed on but it has to be accurate and substantiated or else inoccent businesses and people can suffer from it and any loss they suffer in their hip pocket can result in a compensation lawsuit. Magistrates are overcrowded with this stuff everyday.

This is a pretty interesting subject so I'll just add another thing.

You'll be surprised how easy it is for someone these days to get money out of you.

If you slander a business and their sales happen to go down as a consequence or on the other hand if you slander a small operator and he decides to stop working due to stress, they can file against you in the Adelaide or Elizabeth Magistrates Court for up to $5000 and serve you the documents personally without it costing them a cent because they wont necessarily need a lawyer for that amount and you don't need to be licenced these days to be a Process Server, anyone can serve you a summons.

Food for thought........

If all you clowns out there think for a second that nothing is marked up by more than 200% then your all on crack........

Most items are either marked up by MORE than 200% or if the price is falling then its being made by cheaper resources(due to inflation), and even then it will be making more than 200% profit, Deal with it, or make it yourself!! and besides you gotta expect the "bigger" joints to charge more, just like every other thing in this world!!

The worlds gone soft, that what it is. :)

Sounds like the above-mentioned AB store is on its way out anyway. I don't think its slander, but point taken.

Tis indeed food for thought however they'd have to prove that your opinion isnt based in fact (and therefore becomes slander) and then once that is proven, they'll have to prove that the slander directly caused a loss of profit. And if they do decide to sue, you can countersue for emotional distress and other nonsense.. if it is in print it's Libel anyway, and to be considered 'libel' it needs to be published (which I'm totally not sure whether a forum is considered published, my gut tells me "no" as there isnt an editor that vets the post before they're made public)

Anyone here a lawyer? Its ok, u can admit it. We won't hurt u >:(

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
