as has been said before ...every mechanic can be a bit of a hit and miss affair. I like Unigroup and have only been taking my car there after getting my line and trying a couple of other places first, but one time they stuffed up big time by misdiagnosing an issue several times which ended up costing me more money than it should have. But to be fair, the issue wasn't easy to diagnose and a 3rd party (specialist) was involved which pushed the cost up...

But yeah, I'd still go back to them for any work to be done for the simple fact that Yavuz, Mark and Darren are all top mechanics and are easy to deal with and not full of themselves. When I had my car at CRD once for a EBC install .. I felt the guy (Jim?) rushed the job and seemed completely disinterested ... probably because it's just a run of the mill < 200kw skyline and not a 500+ hp monster that he works on regularly, but still...

Anabolic, I assume that post was deleted by a moderator because it broke forum rules - no negative posts about businesses. you can explain your experience just don't name the shop publicly.

Ive tried Unigroup, UAS, CRD, and Ricol,

out of that lot the best I found to be was Unigroup by far, I was not happy with the others at all, although Unigroup did scare me a little when they told me to run GTR injectors in my RB20 without the resistor pack as it wouldnt cause any problems.

but other then that I havent had any problems with Unigroup, Yavuz is really friendly and will actually talk to you for a decent amount of time to sort your issues out, Unigroup will always be the place I go back too.

My mate rents a factory in behind Maccas at Dural, just a few doors down from Ultratune. I have had Dave from there do some work on my skyline. I believe that he used to work for MRT.

He's fast and he does know what he is doing. if it is just servicing you're after, i'd recommend him.

Dave does help me out alot with problems that arise from having a 17yr old car, and is that extra bit that gives me that warm fuzzy feeling.

I think Ultratune charge an hourly rate of $75.

Yavuz @ Unigroup FTW

His customer service isn't always the quickest out there but the work that comes outta that workshop is worth the wait for.

Very trustworthy and they've been around quite a while now.

Yavuz @ Unigroup tuned my 180sx took for ever but car made 200 Rwkw 16psi with only bolt on mods but the point i want to make car ran like that for three years with out a single problem, so

Value = yes

Quality = yes

experience = yes

effient on time = NO

but good thread trying to find 4wd in liverpool area so far looks like powertune anyone else have positive negative stories about them?

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
