Going to go and pick it up shortly.

Really wish the idiots had have called me BEFORE they did any work though. Charging me $385 in labour because it took so long to try and track down a new unit for the fan... which they couldn't find, and wound up getting some holden unit, and that's another $80. If they had have just ASKED me, I would have said 'don't worry about it' bought one from the classifieds or wherever, and plugged it in myself. The fan wasn't even that much of an issue ffs.

Then they tell me a mechanic needs to do the reverse light. That my brake lights work fine (two witnesses say otherwise, as well as me braking outside a window at home every day) and that they've done nothing with the head unit or the alarm.

Not impressed. at all. Really pissed off would probably be a more appropriate description.

So don't anybody ever bother using Chermside Auto Electrical in Boothy Street at Kedron :D

Damn, thats Terrible!

What do they reckon is wrong with the reverse lights? I can't see any reason a mechanic would have to look at it, its ALL wiring except for the reverse switch, which is a switch on the side of the gearbox that takes 2 minutes to replace. Sounds like they just CBF.

What is wrong with the brake lights exactly?

As for the alarm, I'd be figuring out exactly what it does and doesn't do, and get whoever installed it for you to fix it for free.

Head unit... yeah, I guess we'll have to look at that further

Yea... Thats bs. I'm totally against people doing something without letting the owner know about it and then charging them for it. Its like "hey, your motor's f**ked and we swapped it with another 1 we have. That'll be 5 grand please." BS!

It's the reverse switch that is faulty apparently... telling me the gearbox has to be dropped to replace it (bs)

The brake light problem seems to be intermittent. Sometimes all four light up and the spoiler, sometimes the two centers lights up plus the spoiler, and sometimes just the two centers on their own.

The alarm doesn't go off when the boot/bonnet/or doors are opened (when armed) - and the turbo timer doesn't work one out of every ten times the car is turned off (usually when I really WANT it to turn on too).

and yeah, we'll have to investigate further with the head unit, and see if we can work out what's what.

oh, and on the way home the steering seemed to lose power. so that's probably the pump. GRRRRR!

Toowoomba... I'll be heading there this saturday!

Hope no trouble with the cops.

Make sure you don't park at chalk drive and make sure you do come to a complete stop at the top of the range or they'll get ya around the corner.

      Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
