Has he got a good rep? Is he a pro?

Is it just me being paranoid of a guy coming to your house to install an alarm in your car lol?

I also need mine sorted out. some can vouch for how ridiculously loud it is and it automatically arming everytime the battery is disconnected is a right kÜnt to disable it.

Was planning on taking mine to Southland Auto Electrical, and its been recommended by SAU. (also to get battery drain sorted)

If only Chris Rogers was Melbourne based!

Ha, this is a 3 minute walk from my work, I've had a few small things done there...

They don't just do Electrical either, they did an engine swap on a workmates Beta-Romeo GT and did a good job with it...

But when I first went in there it was to ask them to diagnose my jumpy tacho (the normal r33 problem, before I knew it was normal) and he said it'd be about $1000 in labour since they'd need to pull out the entire dash to look at all the wiring.... yeahrightiom8byebye

0-100 times is exactly what its designed for. drive one and see, the gear ratios are highly annoying for street driving and not balanced enough for track use. interior is cheap and uncomfortable and steering wheel isnt very nice either. You'd struggle to fit a seat of your choice in there because of the tiny cabin and restricted sitting position. The steering wheel size is comparable with a go kart, but you cant get any bigger because otherwise you wouldnt get into the car. No matter which direction you look, the view is restricted, even the front windscreen. blind spots the size of trucks and cant see out the back of the car making reverse impossible. I dont even know if there is a factory option for reverse camera.

im 5'10 and it was squishy. no fish eye in this pic

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
