We had little control over that as we aren't the ones doing the machining.

Myself, working in an industry that subcontracts jobs to other parites, I see this kind of delay all the time. Your business is only as good as your weakest link (so to speak) perhaps it's time to think about what other parties your business associates with and possibly find more reliable ones.

It's sad that it comes to stuff like this, but when a customer is paying for service and not getting it, they get upset.

There's 934893489 shops out there, all of them have bad stories, and all of them have good stories (which far outweigh the bad)

Pro tip: Take every story with a pinch of salt and make up your own mind. :D

... you spend too much time on the internet and get too many different opinions which  makes it hard to then have a clear view of what you wish to achieve.

how can this be a thread without my two cents?!

ken, having dealt with your workshop, I can honestly say that you guys run a top notch organisation and that it's obviously just keyboard warriors who get their periods and don't understand how the world works who then decide to do something stupid like post some ignorant blubberish crap like we've seen at the beginning of this thread. I think Ken's quote above sums it up. Too much time on the internet (probably whinging that Jabba the Hut is the wrong shade of green since the digital edit of Ep5).

if you have a problem with a workshop, resolve it with them, don't try to ruin their reputation.

on an interesting side note, it's not too often people dish out complements, but it's far too regular that they dish out complaints.

Well from ur sig you used to go to SST - so really you didnt set the bar to high. :)

Ken is a champ - I'm not commenting on his shop or their work because i have never used them. My post was my opinion and had nothing to do with Ken.

I only went to SST for dyno comps and Hyperdrive for actual work :)

My comments were based on my opinion of Ken as a person and as the manager of a workshop :)

Don't make me come and slap you Dan ;) hahaha

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
