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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
