gabby at proform in moxon rd punchbowl (0297082920), builds plenty of rb engines.

he might build alot but they arnt very good, bought n engine off sum1 who had it built by this mob. was a brand spanking new engine, hadnt been started. croydon were horrified at what they saw wen they took the sump off to put my new extended sump on. Long story short, the whole engine needed to re done

I just had an rb30/25 built at Hills Motorsport in Castle Hill, I am very happy with the price and result.

Thread is over here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Santa-t300855.html

Really don't want to start a shit fight. But I'd be against taking your car there. (The OP); If you want to know why then just PM me.

well 2 builders i just rang want $10,000+ on just motor

Glenn, give Dart Automotive a call and speak with Jim.

Dart is responsible for a large number of big horsepower GTR's on SAU including my previous R33 and I highly recommend them.

out of all of the people i've dealt with over the last week due to my engine built, DART and Unigroup have been the most realistic and knowledgeable so far.

Duncan and I have both had engine rebuilds done with hills motor-sport, Duncan more then myself - mine is still going 20k+ strong, never missed a beat - there are plenty of people who think they know what they are talking about with hills motor-sport but there is ALWAYS 2 sides to a story so if you want the opinion of a constant happy customer of hills instead of some once of disgruntled opinion talk to Duncan or myself. Everyone has there own opinion, which they are of cause in titled to, but there are plenty of people on here that just jump on the band wagon without any 1st hand experience.

so 1+ for hills motor-sport, been dealing with them for 2years+ with my R34 and have always been looked after price and quality wise. I'm starting to get sick of people give this shop shit because of one bad experience and then one friend who had a bad experience. what about all the good experiences? every shop has there disgruntled customer, there is a reason why that place is full of cars, they must be doing something right.

It comes down to this.

Take your car to where people have complained about service, even taking them to court.

Take your car to where you've heard nothing but compliments, not a single bad thing... and reasonable price etc.

I know where I'd take mine. Not even pointing fingers at any workshop in particular, I try and follow this rule with product I buy tbh...

    • Anyone want to make me an offer to take my v36/g37 3.7l manual coupe in full? Off memory it was low 100k km but the battery is flat so can't tell right now. What's wrong. I had engine problem's that led to a nice clunk. It made it home but it wasn't pretty for the last few kms. Happened under revs. Sounds like bottom end.. never got around to fully checking or fixing it so the car has sat still and unregistered for a few years. Minor bump in front end set the pedestrian protection under bonnet airbag off and that was meant to be repaired, but while waiting for the repair (parts to come) I got the engine problem. The rest of the car is in decent condition. All drive line is good. All interior is good. Leather interior. Wheels in good condition and decent tyres although the ps4s are likely a little too old now it's sat still. Colour of the car is pewter off memory, the dark grey colour. In Camden NSW. Would need a tray back pickup.

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?
