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

    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
    • +1 for Jesse Streeter. Over the years I have got a bunch of stuff from him (usually wheels, but other parts like aftermarket braces and coolers). He was very good with shipping things to Australia. He may be able to send to other countries.
