Everyone dont be stupid to go to EVO MOTORSPORT cause when you give your car there for service or for them to tune your car the guys doing it will take it for a test run and give heaps of preassure to your car like doing burnouts, drifting and giving high revs ive seen it happen and heard heaps bad things about them from the boys in Canberra... I heard that Ed from Integra Automotive is the place to go if you want good tuning and service cause he realy is a good bloke to realie on and trust him to take good care of your care so id suggest to everyone to see him!

Id have to agree with him, NEVA go to EVO, bad stories and experiences. Ben (their old mechanic knows his stuff; Hence OLD mechanic) but Chris is arrogant and talks shit IMO. I recomend jakes or the mawson servo. :rofl:

Thumbs up to import parts Canberra, had a timing belt service done by them, and have to say provided the best service by far out of any shop ive been to in Canberra.

Has anyone dealt with Trojan in Mitchell? A bloke at work had problems tracking down an intermittent issue, and Trojan were the only ones to figure it out. He had been to a couple of reputable shope prior to that. I'm dropping my car in on Tuesday so they can check out some odd noises and my 'flat spot', but I'd like to hear if anyone else has used them, and whether they are sharks. The bloke who runs the shop seems to know his stuff, at least to my uneducated ears.

The two John's at Trojan did a good job on the GTR today. They fixed the bits I asked to be fixed, and told me how much it was likely to cost for problems they found. There was nothing done that I didn't ask for, or that I didn't expect. They also spent a fair bit of time explaining things to me, which I appreciated. I'd use them again.

Ok here we go...

Again, this is just the truth.

I got a quote from EVO to get some work done (Front mount, pump, regulator - the usual), looked ok and I thought I'd get it done (before I found the forums).

When I picked my car up it had rubber in the rear gaurds. I was pretty suss of that, and wasn't offered an explination.

They told me it had 176 kws (flywheel) which I doubt, it was running WORSE than before.

I was charged $500 more than my quote, which was not explained.

Then, on the way home my boost controller blows (power down, no lights). Im going WTF?? Get home, find there is no gromet for the wiring. Its of course shorted.

Get it on a hoist, no hi flow cat that I paid for, although mine had been gutted. Was charged $400 for this. They were not happy that I found this, and claimed it was a hiflow. After many calls they are sending me a part, however I will not see any labour.

Oh, also left 3 boost leaks, Boost gauge stopped working after 2 weeks.

It caused a rethink of the way I wanted to make power, however it wasn't a cheap lesson.

Play with care.

Dyno tuning is money well spent :D

Yeah - I looked at going to consumer affairs, but right now I'm just hoping I have a part in the mail. Its better than the nothing I'll get otherwise.

GTaaargh and Skylinegal:

Trojan are the boys that look after my baby for me. They do very good work at very very good prices!I cant give them a big enough rap! They have taken the time to go over everything i'm planning to do to the line with me and have been happy to show me exactly what the G.O is. I have also seen the other cars they have produced and im very impressed.

I had my wheels aligned at Tyre Power in Tuggeranong. They did a top notch job, and it was a damn good price too. I spotted them taking my car for a test drive to make sure it was running ok, and i was happy to see the driver taking it nice and slow and not revving it up the road. Definately be going back to them again.

Does Trojan do rego inspections??

I need HEAPS of work done...When I get the car back from the Smashies, I need to get Rear brakes, Service, Box Oil, New Pod Filter, New GT Intercooler supplied and fitted....Bit of things t o do...

I also *may* need to borrow a M-Spec front bar or something...I have a Trust Copy at the moment, and its waaay too low.

My GTR is in with John and John @ Trojan at the moment.. Finally getting my clutch done(having all that power and not being able to use is very frustrating)

They seem like very nice and know what they're on about, very well priced and they know the guy that I bought the GTR off.....

Only bad thing is that it took me ages to find the place, very well tucked away and no signage..

Hopefully the new clutch will arrive today and I'll get my baby back tomorrow :-)

I'm pretty sure thats the way they like it... lol. I was lucky enough to run into some bloke with a Red R32 GTR with a carbon fibre bonet and rays wheels (lol, we all know who i'm talking about) who pointed me in the right direction.

Yay, I got back baby back yesterday, new clutch in and driving fabulously!!

It took so long 'cause the courier lost my clutch, so instead of 1-2days for delivery it turned out to be about 4-5days :-(

But I can't give more praise for John at Trojan Motorsports in Mitchell, I'd recommend them anyday. He kept me up to date with everything that was going on and was very well priced, actually even cheaper than what he originally quoted me.

Anyone go to Premier Automotive in Mitchell? I wanna know what people think of em.

Also, does this Ed guy at Integra Automotive do engine conversions? I might go there and get them to quote me on dropping an RB25det into my VL. Hopefully he works saturdays? Anyways, when I go, should I say that one of you sent me?

Thanks,

Daniel

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
