Each to their own but AA were very good to me during my engine builds and i couldn't ask for better service. Also gave up a weekend to put together a new engine for our modified drag car when it threw a leg out of bed a few seasons ago. That is good customer service.

If we are doing for and against for different shops I'd like to put one against A.D.S as they were f***ing useless.

Broke one of my JUN cams ( Then proposed we go halves on a replacement) And when i said that wont be good enough they went ahead and ordered one but they ordered a 272 to replace my 264 and then shimmed the head up to suit the wrong cam while they were at it!!!!!!!! While i was changing the cam to the correct one i found that they had chewed out the thread on one of the bolts that hold the cam in and it was hanging by a thread and on top of all that they charged me a motherload to get the rest of the work done. I will most certainly be avoiding them in the future because charging me more than the agreed price because they had problems that THEY CAUSED in the first place and then i find out they have replaced the broken part with whatever cam they could find for the right price just isn't good enough.

See Mrsparkles I had a similar issues with AA, and they didn't do things I asked them to do and arrrrrrrrr don't get me started. BUT i believe that these issues could have been a once off. Every company makes mistakes every now and then. what I have learnt is do not pay a cent to any company until you have inspected and MEASURED every thing a company has been asked to perform.

So everyone is happy with southsides then ?

Have heard a few scary stories but with the volume of work they get through, some of those stories don't surprise me.

They are also the only mob that would weld my crank up.

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
