My car gets everything done at Hill Motorsports in Castle hill. Mark is a mate of mine and i think a few other people on this board go there too.

He does good work and damn good prices... he's always got sweet ass cars up there getting something done.

Hills - 8802 0777

I ended taking it to online performance in Hoxton Park, where AIR the former owner used to take for servicing.

I did a full service basically everything got checked and all fluids and filters changed , and also i asked to get the spark plugs they said that it problay would'nt be required since they are platinium I thought jsut get everything done, lucky cuased it turned at the the sparks where not paltinium, and where basically gone.

They also gave me a written report on what was done and a list of problems that would have to looked at probaly on the next service, (brakes and left front shockl)

The thing i liked was that they gave me options on what i wanted, eg when it came to the oil they asked what type of oil I wanted etc.... and they also washed the car for me (bonus saved me doing it needed a clean)

So I would recommend Online Performance

Spiderman,

I may as well add my input here :P I will be having my skyline serviced at Hybrid in Artarmon.

Reason?

After a poor experience with another workshop on my previous car including failure to disgnose a serious boost problem, car running poorly etc and me getting fed up with hearing the words "she'll be right" i went to see Roger at Hybrid....

I dropped the car at 8am, was dropped to the closest station by one of his staff, they carried out exactly what i asked, found the problems i mentioned straight away, asked me to call them once i got to the station after work, picked me up again and drove me to the workshop. Roger then showed me 3 dyno sheets, explained what they changed, what they found etc, showed me the root of the problem and ask if i was happy with that BEFORE they charged me anything.......

Professional Service, helpful and conveinient..... thus i will be going back....

Hills is also good but like ONARUN its a bit far especially when i work near the CBD.

BY BY,

Where abouts is Hybrid at, also sounds like another good place to take our skylines, alot of dodgey places out there so i think its good to know where the good guys are.

Nothing worse than paying your money over and thinking yuor getting things down and it doesnt, i ahve a friend who is machanic for Ford, and he tells me storys for example how they thrash the cars on test drives sometimes when there bored, and if there flat out they dont change the oil filter or change other fluids that where in joba and stuff like that, the customer is none the wiser and still pays for it :P

Hi Everyone,

Well i dont thnk i should start another threads about this but its that time again, my car feels like it wants a service, a nice full one at that & i want to do the service myself this time around.

Can anyone tell me what needs 2 be changed around, replaced etc.

Im not trying to be cheap, i just think i can learn quite a bit about my car if i did it myself.

Thanks,

Joe.

Brendon.... yes UAS is good...

Spiderman: Hybrid is in artarmon

Ultim8DTM5: not being rude mate.... but this for recommendations... if you want to talk about who NOT to go to for whatever reason, do it on another thread.....2 of my friends have had serious cars built by hybrid, one is in progress.... but lets not get into that.....

and the topic is servicing... not rebuilds.

:uh-huh:

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
