A mate of mine went down and had a chat about some work he wants done to his R33 at the Hills motorsport workshop located in Castle Hill, in the block of units where the UAS building is, or used to be. He thought he sounded like he knew his stuff and was a pretty good guy to talk to, I'm thinking of going down there myself to check it out.

Just wondering firstly if anyone else has had anything to do with them and can comment on their experiences in terms of price and workmanship?

My Dad's been around 'forever' in the car scene, and he thinks highly of them.

He's not had any work done there, but they are friendly and happy to share anything they know. They can't be too bad.

So that's what I know about them.

Go somewhere else! Sure he might be a nice guy to talk too.

Theres also a reason that he is a lot cheaper than other places.

Go somewhere else!

What do you mean by that? Please dont hold back here!

i have had some very negative experiences there. but that is just my experience. i personally wouldn't go there again. there are plenty of other workshops around.

What happened exactly? Im thinking of getting a second hand PFC off him and a tune,

Friends of mine have had there car's serviced and worked on there.

From there experience the workmanship was fine it was just realy realy slow!

THey have extended there workshop to next door as well now.

I only go there to use there dyno so I dont know what there like personally working on cars.

But they do sounds like they know what there talking about, and there pretty cheap also.

Cheers

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
