yep, and because if they seriously stuff something up, then have insurance to cover it etc .... oh, plus they issue a tax invoice including GST, which I can claim for my business expenses.

But I wish I didn't have to get things done professionally, as  

1). EVERY single workshop (except GT Autosound) have ripped me off to the hilt ($70-$90 per hour is RIDICULOUS!!), and  

2). Most of them don't actually do good quality work (again GT Autosound excepted) - and most don't give a crap about you or your car, they are interested in getting your job done and the next one in the door.

My 2c

i've heard a bit about gt autosound and seen their drift and drag car but thats all i've heard! What are they, a performance workshop with a dyno or what? what kind of work do they do! prices etc!

I have decided to just wait and save for a power FC and a FMIC bleeders don't come too highly recommended from a friend... so I guess Ill wait till then and then perhaps get a hold of you for that installation! Cheers anyway!

GT Autosound are mostly doing car audio, and some basic mechanical things too. They have no dyno, but are high quality at a good price.

Yep, I've taken a good look and there isn't a whole buch of room to plum piping or a homemade snorkle.

co-incidently today while i help install a mates fmic, i noticed that he had a cai box for his car although it was on a r33. Now im unsure of the dimensions of its compared to the space in the 32, but if its similar i can use my friends cai as ad mould that to fit your's. btw do you know if the r32 gtr engine bay - where the pods are similar to the r32 gtst's even though the gtr has 2 pods there.

is the area where the pod filters are in the engine bay for gtr/gtst's the same. I was thinking cai for gtr's would be a little bigger as it uses two pods instead of one?

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
