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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
