spotted outside integra today a white 32 GTR with 2 flat tyres, lookin sad.

And also a white 33 GTR inside the workshop.

Is this normal for integra to leave jobs parked outside?

Bit dodgy isnt it?

The GTR is mine, and no they dont usually leave cars outside, mine shouldnt be there.

Driving down my street on Friday night following a ute carrying firewood, a log of wood fell off the ute and went straight under my car doing a fair bit of damage (most notably, the wheels will be thrown in the bin as theyre buckled to all hell and back).

As the car cant be towed up my driveway due to the angle, I got it towed to my mechanics, which is Integra and which is why it was outside.

So cram your dodgy comment where it fits without knowing the full story.

WTF! I dont give a flying F**K who owns that GTR or what the story behind it is.

Point is I think its dodgy that The GTR is sitting outside the workshop, exposed for all to see.

Sorry to hear about the damage to your car (very unfirtunate) but drop the attitude buddy, its just a freakin observation and I am free to express it as I choose.

You call a workshop that I obviously highly rate dodgy, because -I- made the choice to leave -my- car out the front.

You obviously dont realise comments like what you made on a forum can make or break a business. There was and is nothing dodgy about where the car is. There are no mechanics at Integra on the weekend, and I dropped it off well after hours on Friday night. What am I meant to do, bust in so I can put the car inside so people dont think its dodgy?

Integra do not leave cars outside, and if I hadve dropped it off during business hours, it wouldnt be outside. To add to that also, one of the mechanics heard the car was there, and went in -in their own free time- on the weekend to see if I had left the keys at the servo to move it inside.

So my comment still stands, get the full facts before you making comments calling a business dodgy on a forum, that could potentially cost them a shitload of work (especially when they didnt even know the car was there).

Damn! do you work for these guys or something?

Mate, anyone who drove past wouldve seen the GTR and thought the same thing.

You better put a big sign on ur car stating what really happened so people dont think bad things about your precious workshop.

All in all - Who Cares!!

kept an eye out for you/your car, maybe it was a 32 4 door, it was parked behind the 31, and silver i think?

I was wondering who was stairing at me and my car.......

Also, AMARU.......... I think it's great that you stick up for your FAV mechanic and there place of buisiness. I agree it can make or break a shop. Dont worry about small minded people leaving there un-wanted two bobs worth about your ride. It's your car, so you do as you please and can leave it where you please.

while we are on the topic of giving plugs to good mechanics I sill take my car to DYNAMIC TUNING AND SRVICE. DTS . Formaly MING automotive.. Glen and the other boys there are fantastic and really know there stuff.

Cheers.

Also spotted that blue R34GTR again. There starting to grow on me more the 34"s.

Are DTS in Belco now? I watched an awesome Dyno video that they produce for customers doing power runs. Very professional. Changing the name was wise, MING had a bad rep in my neck of the woods.

I think the comment about the GTR sitting outside Ed's was warranted. It was an accurate description of what he saw and I wouldve thought the same thing "Damn I hope that hasnt been left out all weekend" purely because I wouldnt want it getting broken in to or even worse taken!

A simple explanation probably wouldve been sufficient Nik. But yeah I'm all for defending your workshop! EDIT: Sorry forgot to ask, hows the ride? Is the truck company going to pay? That sucks! I had a number of huge pieces of MDF fly of a truck in front of me and go skyward! It was like a movie trying to dodge these huge deadly MDF boards! lol... Luckily I got away with it, sounds like you didnt have that much luck!

I havent seen anyone around in a while! Then again I havent been driving the Skyline so nobody wouldve seen me.

Busted wheels, possibly busted brake callipers (the drivers side front wheel hit the calliper its warped that bad), busted front bar, theres a gap between the bonnet and front drivers side quarter now, exhaust bent... thats what I can see. Its going up on the hoist today so undercarriage can be checked further to see what other damage is done.

Ute didnt stop, and if anyones seen those flatbed hilux utes, the number plates are mounted under the tray and are hard enough to see when their lights are working. What topped it off is the ute had no lights on so couldnt see the plate, and he kept driving without stopping. Filled out a police report, but *shrugs* at this stage looks like im going to be quite a few thousand out of pocket because some **** sucking knob jockey decided itd be smart to carry firewood on a flat bed tray with no sides... ****ing idiot.

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
