loli was just pricing it at the time but it's the first time i've been in there and they havent had a clue starting to be more like supercheap


You will find it depends who you talk to in there. I have had no problems with the guys at Autobarn Launnie and that place is like a second home for me.

Autobarn would be the last place I'd go to find a part like that. Bursons are probably the best place


For giving you the wrong part!

You're are actually right. I got a set of slotted rotors for my old 300ZX a while ago, I got the car apart and found out they gave me disks off the turbo model so they didn't fit. Even though I specified it was a n/a model quite clearly. They are pretty competitive in price though.

waiting for parts to turn up.... hate it ....

Post #8943

try getting a place to order parts, they tell you it will be in over night and it will be $120, You offer to pay right then but they say later. You wait a few days go in to pick the parts up and they forgot to order them. So they order them straight away but when you come in a few days after that to pick them up and they've ordered the wrong stuff and its now $180! Now I get to wait another few days.

Ive had nothing but issues there, went in other week after a oil filter for the legnum having a rough idea of what part number i was after. Got them to check their 'system' and it came up with a different part number. Get home to find i needed the oil filter i originally had written down. Had issues with oil etc. as well with them not knowing part numbers even for a ca18.... I much prefer PABS as first choice or maybe even Bursons if PABS dont have it. Autobarn are good for chrome, glitter, cheap ass stereos and skirt-wearing boys with shit all knowledge.

I would be interested but due to financial reasons its to hard. Give it another month or two and I will see how things are going and who knows, I may look at another s12 as a project. Wouldn't mind a second one a rb project.

It's a notch back isn't it?

took my rims to an engineers to get them polished, restored and the nut seats changed. When i went to ask about it the owner said it would cost $300 and he had some of the steel collets to use in the nut seats and the work would take 3 days. Took the rims in a couple of weeks later and he doesn't have the collets anymore and he will have to buy some so the price goes up to $350 and the wait goes up to 2 weeks cos he was busy. Two weeks later "oh I haven't got to them they will be done next week". So I rang a week later and apparently he told me it would take a month in the first place so they were meant to be ready today. So i ring up at 11am and he is just starting it. Then he rang at 3pm and they were done. So after a month of waiting the job only takes 4 hours?
Anyway I go in and as I'm paying he says oh you'll have to go up to bob janes and buy those steel collets cos I don't have any. So I ask "weren't you meant to buy them?" Nope that was never part of the deal and most people bring their own (wtf?) and they don't cost much anyway. I ask how much they actually are and the best answer I can get is "oh not much" So I say well they were part of the quote so you had better get them and he goes all like well I've spent to much on them now and you will just have to get them yourself.
So I pay up and head up to bob janes and the guys are like Oh yeah the engineer rang about you how many collets do you need? 16 "oh we've only got 8, the engineer knew that cos he rang earlier wanting them"
So now it looks like he didn't bother getting them cos there weren't enough and he obviously thought I would spit it if he didn't finish.
Anyway the guys order in more and I remembered at the last second to ask how much they were. $4 EACH!!
So now i've been charged extra to buy more collets then have to go buy them myself anyway!!! So i rang up the engineer and let him have it and told him I reckon he should buy the collets for me and he reckons that $4 each is ridiculous and he reckons I should shop around!!
The stupid thing is when he upped the price I did seriously consider not doing the reco at all cos with what I was spending plus what the rims were worth it would be very close to the price of brand new rims!! So now the price keeps going up I am actually spending more than the price of a new set anyway!!
Hopefully i will be hearing back from the engineer tomorrow and will get sorted out, but I'm pretty pissed with this douchebag right now. I paid for a finished job not something I would have to spend more on to be able to use!!! The exact quote from the engineer when I first gave him the rims "$350 and you'll have basically brand new rims!!" Pigs Arse!!

Oh and when I told him he should buy the collets for me he goes "oh I've spent more than $350 on the rims already so if i do that I won't make any money" So I told him he should do better fucking quotes hahaha
