Nothing has been said that is untrue or potentially untrue.

They fixed a tune that Croyden could not on my car, just to balance things out.

I'd definitely say the above quote is derailing to their business, and unfair. While I don't doubt the "truth" to it - he's effectively saying that's what WILL happen if you take your car there. Who would take their car to a place when they're assured it will take 6 months to *not* fix?

If I were Shell, I'd edit that shit out. Trojan, while they haven't done any serious work to my car, have been nothing but helpful when I've dealt with them. Great guys.

+1 for sure, been able to find parts for me that other places weren't able to.

i have been using Trojan for past 3 1/2 years and they have been awesome it is a two man team so the can take longer, but i the quality of work is some of the best i have seen. i personally have found that places that finish work fast on modified cars, cut corners i had it happen to me on at least 3 separate times.

I think anyone with half a brain can see he's referring to his car, and you won't be assured of it taking that long :laugh:

But if you're going to join the butthurt brigade about it (just on the other side) I will go and edit it ;)

This is by no means a derogatory statement as ive used CRD in the past and was happy with their work but bring ya $$$$ with ya mate as they know how to charge

They want too much to check over what I want. I'm just going to save up and head down to either CRD or Race Pace.

My uncle has recommend CRD and race pace. Considering he has raced heavily modified r33 gtr race cars :D. Better to take his advice.

That's partially my point. Your uncle has cars with big build, big power and in turn.....big money. Unless they're going to be doing a considerable amount of work on your car, or they expect your car to be good publicity for them, I wouldn't expect CRD to particularly give a shit about you. It's all business, and to them you're just the next nobody. Doesn't mean they'll do a bad job with your car, I just wouldn't expect the same treatment or for them to look after you too well.

Troy don't judge on what you haven't seen either.

Most places will gladly take your money for big or small jobs.

Sometimes it's worth just paying once to have something done right.

Can also tell you from experience that CRD are no more expensive than getting work done locally. Have plenty of receipts to prove it.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
