Educated Guess At The Final Tune Results

[GTR_JOEY]

I seriously don't know how they f**ked it up in the first place Pete..

For the money you paid that car should have had the time spent on it and be tuned to perfection

Obviously he did a half assed job and expected not to hear from you again, keep on his case until your happy mate. Some of these problems your having are foreseen problems, so I'm f**king sick of people trying to defend this shit.

"Just take it back and stay in their good books" blah blah blah,.. Should have been done right the first time! Idiots!

[XKLABA]

And any retunes to fix this should be free, cause $1600 on top of what you paid for the build is just ridiculous, tuning should have been included in the price and the car shouldn't have left there till the tune was perfect

[Hadouken]

I'm sure they have someone who reads this forum/thread so they are getting the picture that they are not setting a very good example.

Any who have you experimented with some higher octane fuel?

[Scooby]

Charge outrageous money for bad work, take more money to fix bad work. Mmmmm...hi torque starter anyone?

[Nismo 3.2ish]

All of the above, it is crazy to let the car go out the door like this.

So I hope it can be sorted so everyone is happy, especially me

It is tuned only for 98 pump but as I said it is better from a remote tune than the Dyno job ???

[Hadouken]

You should invest in a wideband afr gauge.

Isn't there someone with a dyno close to you that you can just run it on?

It needs to be put on a dyno again. Everything else is time wasting and futile

I honestly hope they are thought they don't seem to be getting the message at the moment.

We re happy when it's reliable mate

[iruvyouskyrine]

Take it to Jez and I can absolutely guarentee that you will be 100% happier how it drives

[Nismo 3.2ish]

I have other things that have to be fix before I go anywhere else.

I also have to give them a chance to rectify the problems.

Struggling with the Torque starter motor bit , my starter motor has no trouble turning and starting the motor, it just stays engaged for a split second after it starts the motor since the build, before that it was fine ?

[r32-25t]

The start motor is more then likely a case of shit happens and go get it fixed cause unless they swapped your starter with another one they can not f**k it

I agree they have done some things wrong but you can't blame them for everything either

I agree but swap shoes and see how philosophical you are then.

After paying to have job done , one expects it to be done properly by the experts and not to be given your car back worse than when it went in., the problems were all noticeable from the first trip home.

Things can be f**ked if you are not careful how you re install them and I am not saying this is the case, but you say to your customer, sorry mate your starter motor started playing up, do you want it fixed or a new one installed. You do not just leave it like that.

Yes shit happens and I am sure it will be fixed, but 7 months and still farking around with it, it just drains you, could be because I am an old fart and not as easy to get along with

Just the way the car feels now I can feel it will be awesome when it is sorted

[r32-25t]

I see it from the mechanics side cause I use to be one, and as i said most of what is going on is bullshit and they should ashamed to hand out work like that, but blaming them for the starter is a bit much

Like the customers I use to have, change their oil and come back a week later saying I f**ked their wheel bearing

You have every right to complain for things that are obviously not right but just don't blame them for everything cause sometimes shit happens

OK, if you have something that works perfectly well and your car goes in for some work , they pull your part out and re install it and it comes back and it is stuffed, you just say shit happens,stick your hand in your pocket without question, I do not understand your logic ?

And I do know shit happens at times , some times it just does not stop , haha

Agree Brett, if the sm is legitimately buggered it's buggered and Pete would probably be fine paying for a replacement plus fitting. However in this case instead of just being genuinely concerned and providing an answer as simple as 'sorry to hear that, not good, let us look at it when you bring it in' they offer him a weirdass excuse and the opportunity to pay even more money (top $ for fitting no doubt) for a product he doesn't need.

(Edit: Pete's beaten me to it)

I'm aware of another situation where two bolts holding the ac comp bracket to the block were left out, so it wouldn't surprise me if they just didn't tighten the sm bolts.

I would hate to think they put in someone elses starter motor giving you the stuffed one

Lol!

Jez would be well advised to stay out of this mess...until such time as CRD are finished doing whatever they are going to do or Peter decides to cut his losses with them.

[Nismo 3.2ish]

It is unfortunate that some blokes knew my builder, I never mentioned them and wish it would have staid like that,but ?

Jez is not involved in this situation, some blokes have said he is an option for future work because I asked some time back for a shop that is closer to the mid North Coast, Gosford is about 1 1/4 Hrs easier both ways, he has never been contacted by me , I have not contacted anyone else, I have my builder..

The car is going back to the builder and I am sure they will do the right thing, by now they will be wishing me to the shit house, after the situation has been rectified I doubt if we will do any new business again, I am finished with modifying cars !

A full racing head might be the go, how about a different turbo, bigger brakes, seen a nice shinny radiator, hahaha

It is all good and will be worked out soon

[XKLABA]

The setup you have if perfect ( except the exhaust, should be 3.5" min tip to tail ), it is just set up and tuned way off the mark
