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

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
