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

mate if you had got your car done with me and there was a problem i would hope you would bring it back so we could sort out the problem because if you didnt and then started talking shit about my workers they would track you down and give you some shit so you should watch what you say i sure john would have taken another look at it for you if you had of given him the chance

Hey everyone i wasnt trying to stir shit, just adding my opinion on a workshop. I did speak to john in person about the problem. I wasnt happy, he wasnt happy and i told him then and there that i would never recommend UAS to anyone. Im surprised a newb to your forums could cause such a fuss people. :P

That's right - it's most likely because of the fact that you are new to these forums that you've only received a caution.

Put it this way, if someone uses these forums to say something negative against a business, that business could sue the forum OWNER for defamation, and if that happens the forums may well be shut down as a consequence, and then we ALL suffer... We've built up a good community, and in many cases a new network of friends both online and outside in the real world - lets help it stay that way.

it doesn't really matter to me whether you were intentionally trying to stir shit or not. you posted up half a negative story and named a business. I've explained to you that it was against the rules. You either learn from this, or you do it again and I will come down on top of you like a 16 year old virgin on top of Angelina Jolie.

John being a business owner with a reputation that was hard earned and hard to protect has done the right thing and contacted you to see what your exact problem is. So if there is still some issue, then contact him back and resolve it. If not just accept it and move on. The very fact the he asked me to leave your (potentially damaging) comments on an open forum and actually wanted to resolve your problem should indicate to anyone that he owns a workshop worth using.

Anyway, let's all get past it shall we?

I don't have a problem with someone not recommending or warning others if genuine and preferably consistent poor service but not if exaggerated. Also if one person at a business as seems in this case a mechanic and years ago it seems then it does not mean that business is not good for ever more. I do not know who you are but I have sent a PM to Wateva to find out who and what and where years ago so I can at least see what happened or did not happen. Wateva you wonder why some are taking your post as aggressive or possibly over the top and not asked for anyway but rather where to go. If we were stealing form you or actually doing really bodgy work and did not want to do anything about it then different. It is so rare even though we do some very technical difficult work one can bank on some not understanding or taking things the wrong way or as mentioned can't be pleased. I can't comment on this case at all as I said I don't know who Wateva is or his car and years ago and probably a few thousand Skylines later. I know I always try and do the right thing by customer to the point where I regularly get handles but give customer the benefit of the doubt and warrant and cover costs I am sure few workshops would.

Tell us who you are or PM me with rego details and name and I look up what terrible thing we did.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
