Ive taken my car to tilbrooks on a few occasions and so have my mates. i have nothing but good words to say about them and their work. they do an excellent job and really know what they're talkin about.

Mark is a top bloke and he even dynoed my car for free one day when i was havin troubles and i needed a mixture log to see what was goin on.

I think the problems with Tillbrooks stem from thje days when Mick (SubZero?) was there.

Mark is a top bloke, and their work is good (now Micks left)

Yeah Mark is a top bloke, i had bad exp. with tilbrook as well but that's when Mick is there.

I think mick was the problem back then, and now with Tim there it is alot better, but i remember a guy i know had his engine blow up on a RPM dyno a few years back, not too sure what eventuated from it, another mate had his car at Tilbrooks for quite some time with no work done and kept getting put off, I'm sorry but Mark has made a few bad calls over the last couple of years in my eyes, won't ever be seeing my car down there.......not even for a dyno day!!!

only reason mick was 'the problem' is due to his cockness in his tuning. but i agree with p1e, theres more problem there which needs address atm. hence my question of whether mick does the tuning himself or just using another tuner.

I've taken both my GTRs to G TEK at Lonsdale. Andy and Mick seem to know what they're doing, call you if necessary, charge very reasonable rates, and get the job done in the time they said they would (this has been a big issue with me at other places). Nothing to fault them on so far but I've only been there 3 times. My cousin gets his MY99 WRX service/repairs done there, his mate's R32 GTS-T is currently there, and a mate of mine gets his Honda CRX serviced/repaired there as well.

i took my GTR and GTS to tilbrooks RECENTLY, and have only good things to say. Before i bought my GTR Mark showed me over one of the cars there in DETAIL showing me what to look for, and was extremely helpful. Depending on the job mark does work on the cars, he made some custom bits for me and di some fitting. From apprentice mechanic right up to mark ive only had good service. They are pretty busy hence not always making deadlines, but what counts is that the job is done properly more so than on time.

The first thing that hit me is how passionate mark is about the cars (esp GTR's i think) and certainly knows them inside and out, no question about that.

Oh and in regards to tuning, the last i heard you can choose either martin or tim.

    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
