what did he do that was worth 500?

Removed old gearbox. Installed new gearbox, clutch kit, lightened flywheel, replaced shifter cables and speedo sender.

New driveshaft boots.

Oil leak fixed + oil change (including gbox)

And some other stuff which I can't remember :P Will check the receipt later. Fair bit of work for $500, which is what some other mechs have charged me for like 4 hours work.

imo, cars wit that much poke look good from that angle.. that is all

ridiculous from the back, ridiculous form the front.

says the habib rolling in a sedan with hobo spec suspension.

and by hobo spec, I mean when you park the car at night, hobos climb in the gap between your wheel and fender for shelter.

usual rate is about $25 an hour, so he spent 3 full days working on your car?

Usual rate? Lol you need to check a shop that isn't your cousins. It's sometimes double that

any mehanic/tuner I use charges a std rate of at least $100 per hour (doesn't mean i pay that, but it's what they charge)

And Femno charges me around $40 an hour. I think shan is loosing his marbles cuz he seems to be posting crap (more than usual) these days haha

haha yeh depends on the house, location and most of all the sellers motivation. If you see somethign you like link me i may have a contact within the agency selling it to get you a no bs idea on where its at.

yeh that happens out east and inner west a fair bit its bs its all private sale where i am thankfully - much easier for buyer /seller. You can grab a bargain at auction though particurarly when the market is favouring buyers like now.

cheers bro. The ones ive got my eyes on are all auctions so will have an idea of the pricing once the bidding war starts. First one this Sunday, so we'll see how it plays out haha

Well my mechanic tried to spin both wheels. The left one spun. The right didn't.

Turns out the handbrake was on BUT wasn't functioning on the left side so he got confused.

awesome mechanic :down:

+1 too much poke.... but i'd also like to see a lil tyre on the lexus....

showing a little tyre is needed imo

also awesome firework

car sounds pretty mangled

other than your sig what is wrong?

Not much. Well other than the hilarious sig, the fact they have to get it to run with a piggyback ECU. But it's safe to say 99.9% of the issues are actually electrical in one form or another. I guess I'm just looking for someone who understands that wires carry electricity and as long as they carry it to whatever sensor is looking for what, it should be OK.

Apparently 'tis not that simple.

My local guy is $50 according to my last bill ;)

I take everything i need for service/want changed. Pick it up the same day. Works out well.

Guy works with a lot of race teams and is in Europe a lot, was @ bathurst 12hr for instance :D

Good that I've finally found someone that i can trust locally AND clearly knows what he is talking about

Obviously still get Chris to do the major stuff. But general service type of thing, cant go wrong and it saves me 1.5hrs on trains + the drive there/back etc over 2 days.

lol classy..

jersey shore sounds queer

that dude in man vs wild is a f**king machine!

nah good show...

bear grylls enjoys drinking/bathing in his own urine way too much

haha that's f**kin sick

Apparently dtf originated from superbad. Either way, I'm making dtf shirts if anyone wants em :P

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
