My car gets everything done at Hill Motorsports in Castle hill. Mark is a mate of mine and i think a few other people on this board go there too.

He does good work and damn good prices... he's always got sweet ass cars up there getting something done.

Hills - 8802 0777

I ended taking it to online performance in Hoxton Park, where AIR the former owner used to take for servicing.

I did a full service basically everything got checked and all fluids and filters changed , and also i asked to get the spark plugs they said that it problay would'nt be required since they are platinium I thought jsut get everything done, lucky cuased it turned at the the sparks where not paltinium, and where basically gone.

They also gave me a written report on what was done and a list of problems that would have to looked at probaly on the next service, (brakes and left front shockl)

The thing i liked was that they gave me options on what i wanted, eg when it came to the oil they asked what type of oil I wanted etc.... and they also washed the car for me (bonus saved me doing it needed a clean)

So I would recommend Online Performance

Spiderman,

I may as well add my input here :P I will be having my skyline serviced at Hybrid in Artarmon.

Reason?

After a poor experience with another workshop on my previous car including failure to disgnose a serious boost problem, car running poorly etc and me getting fed up with hearing the words "she'll be right" i went to see Roger at Hybrid....

I dropped the car at 8am, was dropped to the closest station by one of his staff, they carried out exactly what i asked, found the problems i mentioned straight away, asked me to call them once i got to the station after work, picked me up again and drove me to the workshop. Roger then showed me 3 dyno sheets, explained what they changed, what they found etc, showed me the root of the problem and ask if i was happy with that BEFORE they charged me anything.......

Professional Service, helpful and conveinient..... thus i will be going back....

Hills is also good but like ONARUN its a bit far especially when i work near the CBD.

BY BY,

Where abouts is Hybrid at, also sounds like another good place to take our skylines, alot of dodgey places out there so i think its good to know where the good guys are.

Nothing worse than paying your money over and thinking yuor getting things down and it doesnt, i ahve a friend who is machanic for Ford, and he tells me storys for example how they thrash the cars on test drives sometimes when there bored, and if there flat out they dont change the oil filter or change other fluids that where in joba and stuff like that, the customer is none the wiser and still pays for it :P

Hi Everyone,

Well i dont thnk i should start another threads about this but its that time again, my car feels like it wants a service, a nice full one at that & i want to do the service myself this time around.

Can anyone tell me what needs 2 be changed around, replaced etc.

Im not trying to be cheap, i just think i can learn quite a bit about my car if i did it myself.

Thanks,

Joe.

Brendon.... yes UAS is good...

Spiderman: Hybrid is in artarmon

Ultim8DTM5: not being rude mate.... but this for recommendations... if you want to talk about who NOT to go to for whatever reason, do it on another thread.....2 of my friends have had serious cars built by hybrid, one is in progress.... but lets not get into that.....

and the topic is servicing... not rebuilds.

:uh-huh:

    • 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.
