"oh thats right i forgot, if you dont want your engine to die refer to p1e's post"

what does that mean???

[Deluxe]

It means don't go there, simple as that! I also have heard some bad news out of there, i think if your good mates with them no worries, but otherwise.......

[martin_HR31]

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.

no complaints about tilbrooks top bunch of blokes

[Turbz_13]

cheers guys, yeah im just looking at GTR's inter-state. ill get it chick out first ova there, then just wanting to kno of a good workshop for minor and major services, maybe not mods just yet tho.

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)

mark doesnt personally work on the cars himself now though does he? i think tim from rpm is dong all the contract tuning and what nots. correct me if i wrong.

[ASE]

Mick was the problem at tilbrooks.. he is gone now..

[P1E]

Mick is not the problem, although I agree he was a problem. Their bigger worry is all round incompetency and poor service.

[Deluxe]

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!!!

[Nozila]

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.

[writeoff]

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.

[Turbz_13]

yeah i got my baby now, just wanna get it checked ova, how strong is the drive train in the 32 GTR?? i wanna have it looked ova by some1 that knows their GTR's. there r 2-3 oil seals that needs to be changed

[SLY33]

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.
