Yeah its worked before but it required allot of time and effort going into the editing of the thread...

There were always changes needing to be made to company details and then there was the constant "bagging" some users decided to spam so hence it was a bit of a time waster for the mods/admin...

Biggest problem was "business traders" pay to advertise on SAU and yet we were seen to be giving away free advertising in that particular thread... Also as Marc said some people would swear by a workshop and then you get someone pop up and say "can you remove their name cause i dont like them or they did me wrong" etc etc...

We could never meet everyones expectations so we canned the thread...

But as for these threads popping up, thats fine... Just reiterates how good a workshop is, and still is...

Hey col what about a sub forum where every workshop gets its own thread, no stickies and people can leave comments and feedback in that workshops thread?

Its a great idea, id suggest posting it in the "Ideas & Feedback" section tho as it could be a viable solution for the entire SAU community.

I would now like to take back what I said. My car is pain in the A$$ to drive. It’s actually worse a real nightmare. After more than 3mths later getting my headwork done because off a broken valve and after parting with 10k+ I got on going tapping noise from head work and after the new tune I now get about 250km per tank before I use to get 440km I don't care who you are and what you say I will hunt you down a standard gtr32 with only new small turbos GT2860R - 7 garretts should be able to make 400km+ with same driving. Before anyone saying anything I have taken it back 3 times I will be taking it back again next week as I can't even afford to drive the dam thing less alone hear that irritating tapping noise from incorrect valve adjustment which is part of the head work. I will update this once it is sorted to keep it fair. This has not been easy on me a I am a customer I send my car to gtr mechanic I pay money I expect good work to be done that’s all. Like I said I will update once this mess has all been sorted out even if I got to go to another mech and go through the legal process which I hope not.

You will hunt people down? Hmm.

But anyway, please do update us on this issue of sudden poor economy, im quite intrested to see the result.

I was going to book a new tune in with mark shortly, could you PM me more info as to what has happened so far?

Its so hard to find a reliable tuner these days, but then every workshop has horror stories and i was pretty impressed with Godzilla last time I was there, so unless theres some shock horror story here it probably wont affect my decision.

Awesome, Sums it up. Great knowledge, fantastic workshop and lets face it race/motorsport experience which counts. Wouldny bother going anywhere else.

Tune on my car is unreal. Making reliable power and now AUS's Fastest S/FWD. 11.73 @ 126.85 mph.

Mark's input and knowledge is a very valuable assett.

GODZILLA FTW....

Good idea we think, some other forum's do it where you can sponcer the state section i.e QLD, and the workshop can post up there special's to pass onto to site member's, then feedback can be left and so on.

Be great for workshop to also put forward technical support, help with buying part's and even event's (dyno day's) ect.

Congrat's to Mark and the boy's @ godzilla with there A.S winning RH9 GTR, how awsum. love seeing local workshop's like these boy's

take out big event's and doing great consistant number, untouchable....

:(

Shot down unfortunately by the mods, I'm working on creating my own website that's dedicated to reviewing car workshops and providing a place for discussion, feedback and also dialog between workshops and customers.

Just so I've got this right, you asked for big head work (more fuel), more power (more fuel) on small turbos (more boost = more fuel) and a safe tune (more fuel) and you want to complain about fuel economy? If you wanted standard fuel economy maybe you should have left it standard...

FYI he is working on my car this Thursday morning in prep for the drag day this weekend...

I trust him 100% and back his work, otherwise I would not use him.

I understand someone is having troubles, but this may or may not be a fault of this company. So lets not all jump to conclusions and let Mark sort it out with this particular owner.

He is a reasonable bloke and Im sure he will do his best to sort the issue. Jumping on SAU and telling everyone your unhappy before an issue is resolved is like sleeping with your best mates girl, felt good at the time but will not achieve anything other than create more stress...

Incorrect, shut down by legal advisors... :nyaanyaa:

and i dont look forward to saying "i told you so" when the freedom of speach on your forum is gagged by a court order...

Im sure mark will sort everything out, hes generally pretty good.

As to that other thing, we will have to wait and see. I reckon it'll be right tho, but we really shouldn't de-rail this thread.

dont think mine will make it to the drag day if yours is being worked on.... :(

OH, double booked hey... I better give him a call and make sure we are still good...

Im just after a touch of dyno time, the rest of the drag day prep ill do at home...

    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
    • Is there an actual website thingie for peoples who don't have Facebooks? Cheers
    • All Jap Day is coming up again! 13th of July this year. Are you going? Tickets go on sale on Wednesday 6pm. Please let Quang know as well. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1163155775853542   I still get shit from my wife for this photo because it is the happiest she has ever seen me. And it's not with her, it's in someone else's car.   Quang's EVO is sick, but that rotary wagon flying past was absolutely bonkers.
