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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
