After having read through the Forums and alot of people have recommended HILLS for doin work on their skylines , i rang them up after some pricing on a few mods that im looking at doin.

I was wondering any one has done any of these mods and how much they paid.

Parts for R33 GTS-T

Front Mount Intercooler Fitted = $2200

Dump Pipe = $350

HI FLOW CAT (the best they got) = $450

Be interesting to compare some prices and see what the cheapest place to get these common mods done, maybe we can have a INTERCOOLER FITTING day or something and get a discount?

I will continue to shop around, should i have metioned to Hills that I was recommended from Skylines Australia?

Refer to my group buy.

Stainless Dump Pipe, Front Pipe and High Flow cat for around the same price as you have been quoted from dump and cat ONLY.

Hi Tech will make them in stainless also.

Check the thread in general discussion.

The FMIC kits are good value. They use Micks Metalcraft intercoolers, Micks charge around $2500 fitted themselves so you are on a winner. I use the Micks custom jobbie on my car.... very nice setup

spiderman.. think of it from a shops perspective..

everyone who has been to hills knows how busy mark is.. he spends half his day answering ppl who keep ringing for prices just out of interest etc.. alot of... what if what if's..

im sure if u go there.. and show that ure keen in getting the work done and ure not just all talk like 90% of most ppl out there.. ure prices will get better for you.. mark works on a lot of our cars and gives good prices to ppl who are good regular customers.. telling him ure from the forums wont hurt either..

there are alot of places who might be able to do a bit cheaper.. but alot of us have found out.. that extra 50 bux here or there saves u so much hassle.. im sure he wont give u his best price over the phone as u will jsut go around and ring another shop who will undercut him by a certain amount..

just some things for u to consider...

btw i am in no way sponsored by mark or anything.. he has just helped me out when ive really needed where alot of workshops turned me away.. and he has also done good by alot of ppl i know

Spiderman,

If you tell mark you are from Skylines Australia and that Christian recommended Hills, he should look after you.

But keep in mind, he is VERY busy and some times he can't get things done as quick as he would like to.

I've got to say Hills is a great workshop... just look at the cars in there and how many forum members have recommended Hills.

Might take alittle longer as Hills is VERY busy, but in the end a great job is done and for a great price too.

Mark really looks after you and makes sure you're happy with the finished job.

I'd recommend going to him any day!

can't you just get a cover note? you can do it over the phone right now if need be and you don't have to take up the policy if you don't pay within like 2 weeks or something.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
