Can you guys please PM me with the negative details about hills motorsports.

The reason I ask is because I am thinking about buying a car that has had a recent engine rebuild from there and I dont want to buy a vehicle from there with a cheaply done job. Other wise everything Ive heard about them is very positive

I take the race car, stagea and z there regularly for servicing and tuning and have never had any problems. I'm sure any workshop has people who aren't happy with them.

In particular Mark does a lot of tuning PFC on the 4wd dyno, and custom/fabrication stuff - they've got all the gear there.

hows his tune like? well il tel u 1 thing, he charged me 600 bux for a tune and tuned it using the hand controller :D

i can show u the dyno paper to show u how good of a tuner and how much effort he puts into things :O. when i showed it to two other workshops, they laughed at the dyno graph, saying it was rubbish :).

but hey thats my experience, wouldnt go there again ever

In all honesty, the guy is the biggest shit talker!!

I talked to him once and he was telling me how good of a tuner he was and how ppl like CRD and ADVAN are shit tuners and everyone that takes there cars to them places come to him afterwards and tell him how good of a tuner he is!

He also told me he can read and write Japanese but cant talk it (yeah that makes alot of sense)

He said he lived in Japan for 9 years and he lernt all his work from there!

My close friend took a car there about 4-5 years ago and it blew up after 3 weeks and tried to tell him it was his fault

And only recently like 3-4 months ago a friend of a friend took his R33 Skyline there and he tuned it and he tried to tell Mark that it didnt feel right and KNOCK was hitting 90 on his PFC hand controller but Mark said it s fine its fine and it also BLEW up and Mark wouldnt take resonsibilty for it so he had to threaten him!

I dont trust the guy

I dont like the guy, he is a shit talker and would never ever recommend ANYONE to take a car there

Mark from MRC in Castle Hill would have to the best service and tuner in the Hills area.

From personal experience and others!!

And this is why we don't like threads on workshops on SAU. There are bad stories about every workshop out there I can absolutely guarantee you. People love holding grudges is something else I can guarantee you.

Mark has tuned my car and did a great job. He also fixed a very strange issue it had that would have been very difficult to diagnose. In the end though, who cares? There are opinions good and bad about every workshop and there are fanboys and haters as well.

By all means ask around for opinions but bear in mind that everyone has an angle, good, bad or indifferent. In the end you have to find the workshop that suits you and makes you feel comfortable.

Thread closed.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
