HA!

Not just yours mate. SKR had my evo for a month, and all he had to do was oil & filter, check the timing belt to see how new/old it was and replace the water pump.

With the amount of work I'm getting from Ozvr4, MGEC and word of mouth it is almost getting to the stage where I need to pick TAFE or making a full time workshop.

I vote workshop

I think you should get a workshop - Then you could have workshop days on the weekend

 

[Guest]

yo dawg, we heard you like workshops, so we put a workshop in your workshop, so you can workshop while you workshop.

 

[Jonson]

Haha. It's confusing times for me...thats sounds like I'm coming out of the closet....well now I've mentioned it.....
I'm married...your all safe.

We have our suspicions

I have been trying to get SKR to fix my leggy for almost the last 2 months. They F**ked me around for the first month saying they couldnt give me a date as to when they could get me in. finally after a month they had managed to free up a day for my leggy. $700 later the problem is now WORSE!! Oh and its been almost 3 weeks and they still cant give me a time when they can look at it!! F ing frustrating!!

 

[Jonson]

What's the problem?

 

[AUSVR4]

What's the problem?

SKR.

It's funny/sad how decades of reputation appears to havegone down the gurgler so quickly.

 

[Jonson]

His reputation is still very much intact, he is a mitsu guru. His only problem is he books too much work and can't say no when he is busy, which then leaves customers waiting for weeks/months.

 

[bogan bob]

Steve - thats crap

Its extremely disappointing, especiallly when you talk to him and see that he is a top bloke to talk to, realise how much he knows and how willing he is to help - he cant say no to anyone, which is his downfall.

As much as i want to go back there, i wont - when i get back ill be having a chat with Mike Dale, otherwise 12 months are going to have gone by and the legnum still wont be at its best

 

[Slinz]

Dion, is Mike Dale the other gent who was recommended to tune your car?
Once my tax arrives I'll probably be looking to get mine tuned properly...Let me know what he says and how it goes if you get there before I get my money. I'd always assumed I would go to SKR but it sounds like they are still flat chat and I really can't be without my car for more than a day or two at a time.

 

[bogan bob]

indeed he is, sounds like he is almost as capable as SKR. Stay tuned. LOL

hi All,

just had my 01 Leggy looked at by Jazmac in Mount Barker
it had a misfire issue, and stevo picked it without a prob, couldnt fix it but told me what to source and how to fix it

pretty good pricing, and easy to get into, was very happy with his service

 

[twisted32]

So what did he diagnose as the problem?

 

[Smash]

problem with the AFM, wasnt throwing any fault codes, but the problem is intermittent
have PM'd a few users that are parting out cars for a replacement

 

[twisted32]

let us know if it actually fixes the problem....
Or try to come and borrow the AFM from someone for a test drive.

 

[Jonson]

Wouldn't think a AFM would cause a missfire, please keep us posted. Jazmac has a good rep with the Nissan and Toyota boys.

 

[Smash]

sorry the missfire was misleading... it was more of a stutter at 3000rpm but yeah will keep you all informed
