yeah i wouldn't mind a PM of who it was as well cos i've had some dodgy work done on my car in the last 3 months. I've had an engine being built for the last 12 months. Things pop up that take time to sort out. Being a race engine builder means they probably race cars so that takes up a bit of time too... I just hope they don't forget who the engine belongs to and i end up getting it!!! lol

Sorry. Didn't mean to intrude in that way, I was just commenting generally on the paranoia associated with this subject.

Also, I come from Melbourne, still spend time there and would like to move back if I can secure a well paid enough job.

Also, I am a Barrister's Clerk so I am not speaking completely out of my arse.

Also, I stand by what I said.

Shinsei, PM me with the details also please.

Since this was supplied with all the bits, there is no reason 3 weeks wasn't achievable, the machining taking the most time of a week. Workshops are just being stupid or greedy if they take work they can't complete, but just send the name of the place to those interested as some of these tuning shops have plenty of groupies, regardless of the fact they are often allowing themselves to be yanked about and paying for the privelege. I may be a bit tough, but I learnt it managing multi mill contracts, and there are nio friends in business, so I establish a reasonable time frame with the supplier and apply penalty rates if the work is not completed on time (unless an agreed extension has been awarded due to circumstance). Penalty rates (loss of final payable bill amount) buys some pretty good communication, believe me, or the slack places see the writing on the wall and won't take the work. Either way they are exposed and the customer is protected.

I've done a lot of engine rebuilds, usually in larger well managed factory workshops (Toyota), and they lose customers if they take too long so I can see the farce when a place offers to do it in the reasonable time frame and then takes 4 times longer to complete.

I'm siding with Bob on the legality issues, but there is no reason to plaster the name everywhere. The interested people will ask.

Nothing political is going to arise from a post like this unless its posted in the thread who it was... PMing people isnt going to cause an issue.

Its called an obvious observation and being around this club and many other forums these types of threads generally are raised to cause shit which is why the obvious question was raised.

Asking for a name of a place and not receiving an answer also makes it a little more suspicious... so no i am not.

Have u tried sending him a pm and asking him personally?? It might just help by doing that.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
