Both Brady and Ben x Tilbrooks are working at JMS with me now

top guys who both know there stuff and not burnt out like some of us lol

its looking like gtr central down here at the moment so

we might have to focus on gtr's alittle more in the future

were buying up a storm in Japan right now

Hey man can i tell Brady Matthew from the barrosa valley`s been lookin for him since he left tilbrooks for him to do some more work on my gunmetal 32GTR, he done the turbos on my GTR at tilbrooks

yeh brady is a top bloke. went for a spin in the hills with a mate (in his car that brady built quite a bit of) brady was with us, had a bit of an accident and he didnt mind opening up tilbrooks for us at 5am to drop off the car for repairs! And yeh he's at JMS now.

I had Brady have a quick look at my 33 a few weeks ago with my exhaust manifold issue. Very nice bloke, was happy to help. Although i received a very overpriced quote.

Got charged almost half of that quote elsewhere last week for the same job :)

I'll take that as a yes then, that 180 was in there when my engine conversion was getting done and i remember seeing the damage and Brady telling me what had happend :D

its actually a sil80 but yeh, luckly i was in the car behind with another mate hahah...what a night.

cant put a price on quality work these days :)

from memory $800 for heater core was supplying brand new core and fitting, coolant etc

as Brady didn't want end up stuffing you around by fitting a potentially faulty secondhand unit

brady's well know for doing the things the right way first time everytime

it may seem more expensive but from what Ive seen in the long run it works out cheaper for everyone

didn't you already fit a "new" leaking core?

end of the day a workshop is never going to be a cheap as doing something yourself

but if your like me I prefer someone who knows more than I do to be working on my car

so Im happy to pay for that knowledge

as i said the the owner of the shop what is it gold plated i had already been quoted $220 labour for the complete job by an import specialist and that included fluids but not regasing of my air con

he told me a brand new core was $270 so why were they going to charge me another $600 for fitting of it, bah go where you like we all have to do our own research

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
