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

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
