I dropped off my sierra flywheel to DUNCAN FOSTER to have it lightened and balanced. I was told it was going to be a few days and 170 to 180 dollars. Knowing suzi-tech could do it for around 250 I was thinking I should just take it to them but deceided to take it to DUNCAN FOSTER, cheaper and closer. Whem I dropped it off I had to tell them where I wanted the wieght taken from. At this stage I already wanted to take my Flywheel and take it to suzi-tech.
I rang a few days later and no progress. I rang a week later and they sent it to another shop to get done, alarm bells went off. I rang 2 weeks later and the guy on the phone said it was ready, I asked him "has it been balanced"? He said "NO, I didnt know it had to be balanced". I said "wat da fck am I going to do with a lightned flywheel that hasn't been balanced". He said "oh". I ring almost 3 weeks later and still not done, its over at morebank getting balanced. They need to make something to fit the machine, I said "whateva how much is it going to be"? He then told me $400, I said to him that "you more than doubled the qoute and im not paying". He had no real answer just that he told me it would be a time thing. I said "FCKING TIME THING, YOU HAVE HAD IT FOR 2 AND A HALF WEEKS LONGER THAN YOU SAID YOU WOULD" and he hung up because he didnt like my attitude. Well I dont like there fcking sht workmanship and servivce, they couldnt even do the job.

Get another flywheel from redlinegti.com or auszookers.com
at worst buy a custom one should be cheaper in the end.

call them again and tell them consumer affairs will be on their butt that will get them worried at least.

Yeah or do up a little letter stating your intent to take the matter to fair trading.

I rang suzi-tech and they are going to sell me a flywheel, lightened to the correct wieght so I can still have a decent tourqe curve, machined and balanced for $300. Pete at suzi-tech is really cool, always wants help even with datsun stuff. Not to mention he is the only person I could find to make my dizzy right angle drive.Thats a saving of $100 and I had to buy the flywheel. More importantly I can tell DUNCAN FOSTER to shove it. I just realized that because they sent the job out, they will still have to pay to have it lightened. Cant wait till he rings me chasing up money.
