Tony, if you're going to do this business, make my GTR faster?

Birds, PM me price for wash n wax if you don't mind.

Definitely, your car needs more powah

No risk ey tony? Who's money you spending?

Not spending anyone's, just looking after it :P

Ah k. Well good luck with it and I hope it is successful, I just see a lot (and I mean a lot) of people wanting to get out of it these days, but they can't because they have too much invested or it's the only thing they know how to do. Customers are pulling in their belts with all the financial worry, putting off servicing and repairs to their cars etc. Most workshops are only breaking even at best (terrible cash flow, they take forever to pay their oil accounts with me), many have closed down and the only ones really getting ahead in terms of profit either A. have their own little niche market, B. are at the top of their game reputation wise, or C. they are ripping customers off. You'd want to be going into it because you love being around cars, but the irony is that, it can and does make you hate cars! Just food for thought.

Yup definitely food for thought, will be discussing the viability of it tomorrow night.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
