Was the place called Ultimate Performance or Ultimate Tunes?

There's a place in Phillip called Ultimate Tunes but I've never heard of Ultimate Performance. Ultimate Tunes have a dyno but I haven't really heard of them doing anything other than normal servicing & repairs. They used to do my old car a lot and I think their work was pretty decent.

Has your car got any electronic wizardry that allows you to tune it?

Edited by Bluprint

Yeah, Ultimate tunes is down behind Lennocks. So they do decent work? There's always a rex, a 33 and an FD that I see parked around it or in the shop. Just wondering, as I was thinking of seeing if those guys could install a front mount and a few other small mods for me, as it'd be kind of handy to have a place that can work on my car next door to my work :)

Edited by Sauce

There was always a couple of rotors there, I think most of the staff there have some sort of rotary Mazda. They always did good general work for me, they never did any tuning or modification work for me though. Fitting a front mount I'd say they could do. Best thing would be to ask Nick (The fellow that runs the place) about wether they do a lot of performance work/tuning. He was the kind of guy who would tell you if he didn't feel comfortable doing a job.

nah ulitame tunes didn't they could get add ons for it cos there the mrt dealer in act and mrt is the link dealer in australia, but yeah i didn't end up needing anything they seemed pretty helpful on the phone

Ok the guys asking about us, yes we can dyno tune.

Im part owner in Ultimate tunes.

I/we have done quite a fir bit of work on high performance cars, such as:

Tuning

Custom mods

Exhausts

Intercooloers

Engine conversions

and the list goes on.

We can tune

Apexi

Microtech

Haltech

and so on.

My R33 has a power FC and that the one thats always out the front.

The FD has a power FC also tunes by us.

The supra is getting a Power FC which will also be tuned by us.

The Silvia you might seeout the front is getting a HAltech in it right now and again we are tuning it.

We have had countless rotaries with mircotechs also and never had a problem.

If anyone wants to see the work that has come out of Ultimate tunes come over and see us and we can show you pictures of most things we have done.

Many people seem to be happy with the quality of work we produce.

We try to keep everyone happy, sometimes this isnt possible.

We take great pride in our work and do our up most to keep a good reputation.

Because like any business, with no customers we have no money so its in our best interest to do quality work.

I would just like to say that at one stage we had an average mechanic working with us that did cause us quite a few problems, but he is no longer working with us.

Race snooze, Im sorry you have had a bad experience with us in the past.

Thank you for the apology as i never received one when the incident occurred its good to see that you guys are getting good results. That was about 4 years ago, When Nick and Mario were running the show, i think Nick is still there too.

Not a problem at all.

I just hope nothing like this ever happens again.

Mario left quite a while ago and Nick still manages the place.

Nice, Ive heard good things about you guys in the past - I dont know what happened with Shawn (race_snooze) but it sounds like I may be in to see you about a few things for my car...

By the way, you obviously do alot of auto electrical. If you dont mind me asking, where do you go for all of your parts and accessories?

The reason I ask is because I am a salesman at Ashdown/Ingram and we sell everything auto electrical and airconditioning and if you like I might be able to get some really good deals going for you... You know how it works - You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours :) Please PM me with any questions or enquiries!

i had some work done at ultimate tunes and i thought they were fine.

i am particular about certain things when i do business - i don't have the technical knowledge to understand whether a turbo has been properly high-flowed, or whatever, so i look for other indicators of good quality. e.g. if someone says they'll call me, i expect a phone call. if someone says they'll do something by a certain time, i expect it done or an acceptable explanation otherwise. if they want me to believe a particular story, i expect acceptable supporting evidence. these expectations give me a good insight into how they expect to be treated also.

nick was very friendly. he called me when he said he would, even when there was no new information. he showed me everything he was going to do, and then showed me everything he'd done. he was prompt and understanding. i'd go there again no problems.

Bullet32,

We get everything from Wurth right now, its pretty convenient, they come and check the stock and do the order for us.

We generally dont keep a heap in stock, we keep relays, Terminals, an assortment of wire, fuses, fuse holders. Prett much just the basics, if we need anything more we will just get it as we need it.

When you come in bring thou a catalouge if you have one and we can talk about it.

Regards,

Cristian

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
