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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
