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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
