just a side thing, i heard F1 cars use some rediculously high boost figure like 40psi or something for there qualifying lap, then when they pull in off comes the turbo and dumped straight in the bin, after 1 laps use!


p.s. loving the monkey magic avatar!

I wouldn't bet on it. Plenty of high budget teams would to get the extra performance.

Just like anti lag, its all not that good but worth it to win races.

But I think I recall only 100K's, thats a joke an would say that you may just have a chance if you could be bothered going ahead. make sure its a high profile and trusted mechanic and not some wanker.

If your're going to fight it, get another mechanic to inspect the engine and put in writing what he thinks caused the problem. See if he'll agree and write that "running rich" for 1000km won't cause this kind of problem. And then think how you're going to prove it was only 100km. Race car teams wouldn't purposely run their turbos rich if it was going to cause the rings to break down in a short period of time, or would they?

i doubt you could get an a-12 rebuilt for that price, be honest guys, i actually think they might be talking about parts though not labour, but unless your confident in doing the rebuild you gotta pay for that too

but out of curiousity what places would charge around 5- 600 for a rebuild ive been told around 1300 +

i drove my car for less than 100 kms and got the pressure checked and it was rooted i understand these guys put up with crap from heaps of guys but in this case i will take them to the ACCC tribunal and i will win due to the evidence that i have, they should take each case individually and judge on its merits rather than past experience, the fact that they have treated me like absolute #### only worsens their situation i wont stop until i get the motor and i will do it all free of charge thanks to my freidns and their fathers

You signed a pretty tight agreement when you bought the engine? I know I did when I bought my engines. The holding back of the ECU, is great for people who want to use the standard computer. But it puts people like you in a similar position to people who put aftermarket ECUs on their new S15 Silvias...(Out of Warranty).
Seriously though, you put yourself in their shoes. Try selling 20 or 30 engines per week. Then having every second guy install an after market computer on their engines, that their cousin tuned for them. Oh maaate, see those flames out the exhaust. How about that anti-lag.. 25 pound boost mate. How would you feel?? Do you trust everyone you do business with? Look around at the import market.. who's involved... how many of them do you trust... seriously...

I practically lived at SSS throughout my teens and early 20s. Back when Stuey ran the show. I don't think the business has changed that much...I could be wrong.

I think you may be hardly done by, but where you are innocent, 99 others are guilty.

Seriously, import engines are a lucky dip. They aren't always a cheap option, but like Andrew D says, for another $500-600 your engine will last for a known length of time and you'll be good to go.

The import engines cost almost nothing from Japan, but the freight is not cheap. Could you buy and import an engine and gearbox for about $2000?..without the help of an expert importer..I doubt it.

Re-read your warranty..If you got the same computer printed reciept that I did, then it's clear.

ps. A new CA18DET engine, gearbox, wiring and ECU from Nissan would cost over $14,000. My CA18 has cost me at least that..and it's not even been started yet!

At $2000, it's cheap.

court? thats gonna be hard, did yo sign any binding contract or did you sign anytihng at all?

you should really try hard to come to an agreement on some kind of terms with them.

because taking them to court should be your last resort, you dont wanna lose out more
