Had clutch put in, all seems well done. Was a little late in finishing the work that day, but at least they were willing to talk to me while they finished the job.

That was probably my fault John, the boys had issues with the injectors that I had and we had bounced a few phone calls for the better part of the day.

either that or they were fixing the dash wiring on my 33.. they done a great job on clutch aswell, definitelly recommend them..

I'm a new member!! (my first post) the guys (John and Angelo) have been looking after my R33 Manual 4 door GTST skyline for the past year and John knows what he is talking about. I highly recommend these guys to look after your babies. Oh and I forgot, I have my skylne and now I am looking for a Black SII for my wife, I know I know, she likes the black and it has to be manual (what do you expect - I taught her to drive). Hopefully I find something soon - His and Hers.

How much are you looking to spend also is it a S2 33 gts-t you are after ?????? i am not really interested in selling but who knows i can be presauded :w00t:

I don't want to offend you guys but I'm looking at spending up to $15000 and yes GTST - SII not necessarily with all the performance

bits done but at least the major service if around the kilometres and very clean.

Don't worry about offending people partucually when you are just saying that is what you want to spend. I wouldnt sell mine that cheap but keep an eye on the for sale section you should be able to find some around the 15 - 16k if you keep an eye on it.

good luck to you :)

I'll be getting a clutch put in by Trojan soon, kinda using it as a toe in the water for future work. Got a good price for labour compared to other places. I knew I'd found the right place when I saw in the carpark: line, line, line, soarer, line...

my cars going in next week to sort the oil prob with my 3lt and hopefully fix that and fit alot of other goodies aswell 300kw here we come (hopefully so very much hopefully)

as for trojan i haven't used them before but i've heard nothing but good things which is my i'm going

Well I just got my gtr back from John and Angelo at Trojan.

They've done a terrific job on the car (had some new injectors put in, a new power steering belt and a tune on the dyno).

She's running very sweet now and have had a chat to John about some further modifications.

The guys know their 'skylines. I'd recommend them any day!

  • 2 weeks later...

I had a new Xtreme clutch and lightened flywheel put in the other day. Car now feels ready for the kinda changes I'll throw at it ;) Good job guys.

But I can't say I'll ever get a twin/triple plate put in... my new one feels very on/off as is and it's only single plate! Just very heavy duty (very manageable though, I'm just a matter of getting the hang of it). Twins and triples must be insane.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
