he might build alot but they arnt very good, bought n engine off sum1 who had it built by this mob. was a brand spanking new engine, hadnt been started. croydon were horrified at what they saw wen they took the sump off to put my new extended sump on. Long story short, the whole engine needed to re done

I just had an rb30/25 built at Hills Motorsport in Castle Hill, I am very happy with the price and result.

Thread is over here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Santa-t300855.html

Really don't want to start a shit fight. But I'd be against taking your car there. (The OP); If you want to know why then just PM me.

well 2 builders i just rang want $10,000+ on just motor

Glenn, give Dart Automotive a call and speak with Jim.

Dart is responsible for a large number of big horsepower GTR's on SAU including my previous R33 and I highly recommend them.

out of all of the people i've dealt with over the last week due to my engine built, DART and Unigroup have been the most realistic and knowledgeable so far.

Duncan and I have both had engine rebuilds done with hills motor-sport, Duncan more then myself - mine is still going 20k+ strong, never missed a beat - there are plenty of people who think they know what they are talking about with hills motor-sport but there is ALWAYS 2 sides to a story so if you want the opinion of a constant happy customer of hills instead of some once of disgruntled opinion talk to Duncan or myself. Everyone has there own opinion, which they are of cause in titled to, but there are plenty of people on here that just jump on the band wagon without any 1st hand experience.

so 1+ for hills motor-sport, been dealing with them for 2years+ with my R34 and have always been looked after price and quality wise. I'm starting to get sick of people give this shop shit because of one bad experience and then one friend who had a bad experience. what about all the good experiences? every shop has there disgruntled customer, there is a reason why that place is full of cars, they must be doing something right.

It comes down to this.

Take your car to where people have complained about service, even taking them to court.

Take your car to where you've heard nothing but compliments, not a single bad thing... and reasonable price etc.

I know where I'd take mine. Not even pointing fingers at any workshop in particular, I try and follow this rule with product I buy tbh...

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
