I will tell you places that I have used, and been happy with (places I have not been happy with I wont coment on).

Annandale Automotive, Annandale

Unique Autosports, castle hill

Jade Automotive, leppington (near oran park circuit)

These three are all great places that I have personally used. Would happily reccomend either of them.

Please dont go to Unique, they couldnt even install my turbo timer properly :)

How bout you get a real car then. Best mechanics in sydney. Dont bag a workshop that has such a great rep. Im sure your experience was a ONE OFF.(by the way - how can u not install a turbo timer properly???)

They specialise in lines and zeds. If ya wanna start bagging business's then I can name at least 3 BIG workshops that are actually dodgy as all hell but I dont think its ethical to do it on a national forum. Unique are expensive but IMO you get what you pay for and your paying for the best

Keep your insignificant negative comments to yourself next time

There are SOOOOOOOOO many SAU members on here that can vouch for UAS and are regular and loyal customers and John (the owner/manager of UAS) is actually a member and poster on these forums. Be very careful about you say...

Hahahaha man u sound so cut, whats the matter u handed over half ur life savings to them and now your ego is bruised? Im only trying to warn someone to not waste their money at a substandard overhyped workshop.

I believed all the crap i read about them being so awesome too. Truth of the matter is they installed my greddy turbo timer i bought in tokyo and not one of the extra functions(battery voltage display etc) on it worked once. Very occasionally the main function(turbo timer) would work, but rarely. I presumed it was just a faulty brand new timer as UAS couldnt possibly be so incompetent. Then about a year later a bogan(specialising in Falcodores) auto electrician took a look at it and fixed it all up 100% for about 1/3 the charge of UAS . Not to mention the fact that UAS told me i needed a new headgasket when all i had was a coolant leak and faulty CAS. Or the time i asked them to setup my boost controller and they told me (after charging thru the nose) that they put the boost as high as they could without my car leaning out.I believed them till i drove home and the car was making 8.5psi :) Got it dynoed a week later at N.A.S and the afr were still on the rich side and we safely wound the boost up to 12psi. But hey Im sure your car is AWESOME and Im sure there has been good mechanics working there at some point, just not when i visited :rofl:

wateva. let this be a little warning to you. Posting negative coments about a business is not permitted in this open forum. That may seem one sided to you, but that's the way it is to protect the forum owner. Do it again and you will incurr my wrath in the form of a warning, suspension or ban depending on what the situation warrants.

In line with the forum practice I was about to moderate your posts and remove any reference to a business name. BUT the owner of that business asked me to leave it as is. He tells me he has nothing to hide and your coments may stay. Given this (positive) attitude I would contact him directly if you have any problems with their work, and if a mistake was made (IF) then at least give them the opportunity to correct it. Whether you edit your posts is up to you, but I would suggest that it's the right thing to do.

Wow sounds like poor service. Hard to please all the people all the time and with the huge amount of cars we work on bound to have something go wrong. Love to know who you are and what car etc. Might reply to my PM.

We have three awesome mechanics at the moment. did the apprentice thing a few years back but no more. Did you bring it back to us to rectify at all??

I've had work done at Unique Autosports. Ben's great. He's actually working on it this week too.

We've also taken my girlfriends 32 there and had a new clutch master fitted when no one else could get us a brand new one.

I'd recommend UAS to anyone with a Skyline.

Blah Blah Blah

Let me guess, you didnt bother to go back to them or call them and give them the chance to resolve the problems?

Regarding your boost issue, obviously UAS had a concern about putting any more boost through your engine - would you have preferred them to just wind it up anyway and run the risk of possible engine damage? Come on

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
