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.

Thanks Prank , I will let him know, if he's busy then he must be good at what he does :)

Urmine , yeah i bought the car of Air the car is dream come true :) its running great just starting to think of the next thing to do intercooler and dump pipe etc.....

I feel the Need , The need for speed :)

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.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
