On monday after put some fuel in my stag ,I discovered an screw in one of my tyres so on wednesday to prevent the screw to go away and finish with a flat tyre in the middle of the freeway went to TYREPOWER in Berwick ,near where I work,after taking the wheel the "efficient employee" started to try to take my centercap by smashing it from behind.

Lucky I was there to tell him that it's screw in and I have the tool,after finishing he put the wheel back and I runned back to my work place because my lunch time was over...When I got down the car took a look to my wheel ,the F%*# employee used a shorter socket to put the wheel wrecking all it's holes I know my wheels arent new but now one looks like crap(BTW I have a set Of 17" Work S2R)...after work went back there :after inspecting my $ wheels the manager asked me...Did he asked you if you have the tool?My answer was "No"...I have the tool ,but thougght these people Know their job so didn' bother.

End of the story the mannager offered me they can send the wheel to be fixed ...But Not sure it's going to finish the same color as the others(ouch) :woot:

So all this is to tell you IF YOU LOVE YOUR CAR AND YOU DON'T DRIVE A FORDEN DON'T GO THERE....

The only good thing about the experience was that I discovered why my car is taller...Nismo shocks :)

If your rim doesn't come up as good as new ask for it to be replaced.

Nismo shocks won't necessarily make your car taller. My S1 is lowered 40mm on Nismo shocks ( which are actually rebadged Bilsteins). If yours are the same (i.e. rebadged Bilsteins although I note yours are red v my yellow ones) you may be able to lower your car by repositioning the circlip or by putting in different springs.

please tell me this mouth breathing waste of skin no longer has a job there?

I admire your restraint man. I would have been demanding that the usless little cretin pays for the repairs himself.

And that would be AFTER using his head for a wheel chock........

Yeah I feel for you buddy that sux, I have had the exact same thing happen to me before. This was a few years back and they were quite cheap rims but its no excuse for slack lazy bastards who have no respect for other peoples things.

it does suck, although perhaps it is a little harsh on the business to come on here telling people not to go there (can actually get in trouble with things like that if you aren't careful)

sure the employee was at fault and has caused damage to your property but in all fairness to the business, from what you have said, they did offer to repair your wheel

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
