No call from c-red so no info yet. Asked if i coyld be there for the dyno run but the guys said sorry :(. Mate of mine said usually reason they dont like people there watching as usually have issues or probs and they just wana get the job done, which is understandable

Some other mechanics do the same. Sometimes I wonder if they don't want people around cause they aren't actually doing anything :glare:

Customers become a liability standing around, if something were to happen they'd get in trouble.

And also customers get in the way, ask a million questions, pull you away from the job etc. Happens a lot here and then they get all shitty cos the job has overrun

Nothing against customers wanting info on their cars, i don't mind it at all. Just makes progress on the cars slow

Totally get that, would rather them tell me that than making an excuse of space and noise and not safe >.> I used to ask customers to go away when I was working at the workshop.

And just like that i jinxed myself. Customer came in guns blazing because we have gone over time

Push the car onto the street and tell him to GTFO!

Fkn MA61 Poopra giving me dramas. Customer supplied brake pads - WRONG! So I ordered some from Veales - WRONG! Ugh, can't take a trick.

In my defence though, the customer supplied EBC pads and I looked at their online catalogue and his part numbers weren't even similar to what was listed. I triple checked my Bendix part with Veales, but nope it was wrong when it got here.

    • It is not a dual mass flywheel, so you will get some gear noise on a BNR34 unless you deviate from the OEM fluid spec and run a thick gear oil like what Nismo recommended for a while. Unfortunately I have never weighed the flywheel by itself prior to installation but it is not that light. It's probably an 8-9 kg flywheel. OEM BNR34 dual mass flywheel is like 14 kg which is kind of hilariously heavy. 
    • Got around to installing the Tomei Cam Cap Studs and the Hypertune cam baffles/splash guards. Unfortunately, I was not aware that the cam cap studs do not clear the stock RB25 internal cam cover baffles. Some research found a set from boostdoc which includes a replacement cam cover baffle and full length cam baffle + tools and fasteners. but I'm not keen on re-buying what I have already bought. So the plan is to take the hard route and modify the existing cam cover baffles to clear both the cam cap studs and the hypertune cam baffle plate. I assume there must be people who have gone through this even just to convert from cam cap bolts to cam cap studs? If so any tips would be appreciated. Otherwise I think I will mark where the cam cap studs foul, drill clearance holes in the cam cover baffle, and remove the cam cover baffle oil returns to clear the  hypertune baffle plate. I will also need to remove the baffle and drill and tap threads to bolt it back on so i can clean out any swarf. Fuel tank foam as extra cam cover baffling?
    • The incoming weather event seems to be affecting people in weird ways....🤣 And no, whilst there is some fancy engineering going on, I have no real interest in anything rotary really I had a Capella in the 90's, the rotary engine is way to temperamental, and extremely thirsty for my liking  If I won lotto and wanted to waste a ton of cash, a boosted K-swap would be what I would look at, until then, the N/A MZR2.5 will be at home in the engine bay of the NC A build like this, just without the idiotic street pulls and skids would be interesting to waste a huge amount of money on https://youtu.be/EgqAoVtUD1E?si=n3_umivrUPP8C9Cs
    • Now we're getting somewhere. All we need is a fractional rotor system so we can also have the RX3 and 5 back, and the world will be right again.
    • With that engine being a one rotor, would that make this into an RX4?
