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.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
