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 stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
