just a heads up to anyone parking their precious at the airport, i just got back from 2 days in s.a. and parked at andrews airport parking at tullamarine... only to get back and find the glass in my passenger mirror gone and the mirror all fubared and after refusing to drive the car home in the state in which they had delivered it to me was told to catch a cab home at my expense... which for me is about a 60 dollar fare... lucky it wasnt my 33... i understand that shit happens and it could happen anywhere and to anyone, but to be told i'll have to find my own way home was abit rude, especially at 1130 on a weeknight when people dont like being called out of the blue cos they gotta work in the a.m....

Id have thought it fairly obvious that the dude working at 11.30 at night wouldnt be able to help you with anything as he'd just be an employee.

So have you complained to a manager about the damage?? Outcome??

Im just curious to know.....

The guy I spoke to was the duty manager and he rang his bos and was told to deal with it and don't call back till the morning... They rang earlier and after there investigation have found the mirror was intact when I got there... Der... And they are gonna fix it, but that ain't the issue I've got, the issue is I parked there so I wouldn't have to worry about catching cabs or expect my mates to pick me up all the time and then when they stuff up, I, the customer am pretty much told " too bad, you'll just have to make your own way home at your own expense"

my shop is down the road from all those airport parking places and i could tell you some horror stories thats for sur....and one where the owners were not told anything at all aswell

I'm sure they do stuff like that all the time without the owner knowing, and as long as it's fixed properly I wouldn't have a problem with it, in fact I probably wouldn't even know. The damage isn't that much of an issue for me, I mean I'd never leave my skyline there, but my other car ain't anything special anymore, it's the inconnvenience and poor treatment I'm pissed with...

It would be an issue if you knew who they were using to fix them :)

kick them in the nuts!

my mates brother's GTR was stolen from Tulla airport, taken for a hoon and found burnt out!

and also alot of stolen cars get dumped there. long term parking.

Lol, yeah, I'd never park at the actual airport carpark, Andrews is one of the private ones in tullamarine, the ones with a shuttle service...

If I go for a short interstate trip I park in the Business Park at the airport, it's up near the McDonalds right out the front of the Qantas terminal, there are always really nice cars in there and its all pretty much business people.

It is a bit more expensive but worth it, it also is good because you use your own credit card as the parking ticket. You swipe your credit card to get in the gate and then you can only get out with your Credit Card.

Seriously isn't catching the airport shuttle or even a taxi cheaper than paying for long-term parking?

Maybe but apart from the bus to the long term car park i have not been on public transport for near on a decade and dont want to try it again any time soon, i prefer my own music in my own comfort zone with out having to keep an eye out for weirdo's who smell like that have not had a shower since the 70's and people who think that everyone should hear what they are talking about on there mobile, especially when talking about how much they make or the chick they picked up on the weekend, i also dont mind paying extra for this luxury.

Nup, cabs about 60 for me, so it's about a 120 round trip... Airport shuttle leaves from the city I think, so I still have to get into the city which is about the same, maybe more...

Airport shuttle goes out to the suburbs as well, i know it comes out here to frankston and maybe even further, definately not cheaper for me in a taxi, costs about $130 each way for me in a taxi.

    • Lucky the prp block is supposed to be released next weekend 
    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 😄 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 😄 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 😄 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel  
    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary
