After having read through the Forums and alot of people have recommended HILLS for doin work on their skylines , i rang them up after some pricing on a few mods that im looking at doin.

I was wondering any one has done any of these mods and how much they paid.

Parts for R33 GTS-T

Front Mount Intercooler Fitted = $2200

Dump Pipe = $350

HI FLOW CAT (the best they got) = $450

Be interesting to compare some prices and see what the cheapest place to get these common mods done, maybe we can have a INTERCOOLER FITTING day or something and get a discount?

I will continue to shop around, should i have metioned to Hills that I was recommended from Skylines Australia?

Refer to my group buy.

Stainless Dump Pipe, Front Pipe and High Flow cat for around the same price as you have been quoted from dump and cat ONLY.

Hi Tech will make them in stainless also.

Check the thread in general discussion.

The FMIC kits are good value. They use Micks Metalcraft intercoolers, Micks charge around $2500 fitted themselves so you are on a winner. I use the Micks custom jobbie on my car.... very nice setup

spiderman.. think of it from a shops perspective..

everyone who has been to hills knows how busy mark is.. he spends half his day answering ppl who keep ringing for prices just out of interest etc.. alot of... what if what if's..

im sure if u go there.. and show that ure keen in getting the work done and ure not just all talk like 90% of most ppl out there.. ure prices will get better for you.. mark works on a lot of our cars and gives good prices to ppl who are good regular customers.. telling him ure from the forums wont hurt either..

there are alot of places who might be able to do a bit cheaper.. but alot of us have found out.. that extra 50 bux here or there saves u so much hassle.. im sure he wont give u his best price over the phone as u will jsut go around and ring another shop who will undercut him by a certain amount..

just some things for u to consider...

btw i am in no way sponsored by mark or anything.. he has just helped me out when ive really needed where alot of workshops turned me away.. and he has also done good by alot of ppl i know

Spiderman,

If you tell mark you are from Skylines Australia and that Christian recommended Hills, he should look after you.

But keep in mind, he is VERY busy and some times he can't get things done as quick as he would like to.

Thanks Prank , I will let him know, if he's busy then he must be good at what he does :)

Urmine , yeah i bought the car of Air the car is dream come true :) its running great just starting to think of the next thing to do intercooler and dump pipe etc.....

I feel the Need , The need for speed :)

I've got to say Hills is a great workshop... just look at the cars in there and how many forum members have recommended Hills.

Might take alittle longer as Hills is VERY busy, but in the end a great job is done and for a great price too.

Mark really looks after you and makes sure you're happy with the finished job.

I'd recommend going to him any day!

can't you just get a cover note? you can do it over the phone right now if need be and you don't have to take up the policy if you don't pay within like 2 weeks or something.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
