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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
