been busy :: R32

[Simmie]

Really sorry Ken,
I got very little legal support and got nowhere with the garages who call themselves specialists :roll:

Thats pretty much where I am now .... thats why I been a bit quiet dont go in for ranting in public , but just wanted to get off ny chest I suppose

Was supposed to be doing the mods and getting it mapped , not sure what to do , I have got a garage full of stage 2/3 parts intercooler , oil cooler, Afm, clutch etc , now this has screwed everything ... its too good to break it , dont really want to sell it and I dont want to sink endless funds in to it either !!!

Skylines , really love these cars but are they worth the hassle :roll:

Then when it comes to specialists ..... thats another story all together it seems to be pot luck . I know these cars are complicated because I have stripped them down , but this was a straight swop , why give someone back a car in that condition its obvious that sooner rather than later it will fail.

what pi55ed me off is when I asked them about it , they said left it to keep costs down !!!!! A rad and a pipe costs 250 ish ?

I just paid for an engine , wheels , Brembos , base map , about 4,5 k so whats 250 on that ... its gonna cost me close to that to get it back to where I was :x :x :x :x

Will talk to the guy again cos I think its totally out of order and to be honest that is the worse excuse he could give IMO

Think this a project sadly on hold for the time being :!:

Really sorry to hear that Ken. Surely you must have some recourse with the garage. As Stu said I would take legal advice and then speak to the garage again. Sometimes the threat of legal action oils the wheels of compromise in my experience.

In my opinion the tuner should always advise of anything they think would be beneficial however large or small.
Anything that in a necessity should be made black and white.
I have to say i have spent money on things that i actually dont know what they do. However if the tuner is honest and you trust them then there is no reason not to follow the advice.
I really feel for you mate I know exactly how you feel I have had my latest R32 for 3 years now and driven it possibly 8 hours.
The feeling driving them is unmatched in my opinion but they are and always will be a money pit .
You will have to accept this if you want to keep owning one of these.
Gutted for you all the same

I thought I was hard done by !!!! Mate you must you have some patience , I dont know if I could cope with 8 Hours in the three years !!! I went for these cars because I thought they would be less hassle than a Rex !!! Starting to have second thoughts now.

But I have to agree when you drive them its second to none

[Simmie]

Fitted the Do-Luck bonnet too while I was waiting :-D , just need some aero catches at the front.
