Someone must have taken the UAS Major service package up, and was the extra $700 thing worth it?

www.uniqueautosprts.com then click "service centre" then "major service".

Has a whole list of things, engine (elf semmi synthetic), check sensors and fault codes, injection cleaner, iridium sparks, compression test, water pump, timing belt, diff, transmission oils ect.... anyway the list is on their.

also is the N1 waterpump worth the extra $$$$, well i'm assuming it will cost extra

To me the initial package doesn't seem too unreasonable, I don't think I would spend the extra $700 though... that's all stuff I'm pretty confident doing myself :rolleyes:

From what I read the N1 water pump has larger but less blade inside it to prevent cavitation at high RPM. The trade off is worse flow at low RPM. If you spend most of your time on the track or driving at a moderate speed it should be OK. If you are in bumper to bumper traffic everyday... I wouldn't recommend it unless you have some masochistic urge to cook your engine :thumbsup:

I'd give the n1 pump a miss (costs more and not really right for a road car). But Ben (head mechanic at UAS) is excellent and very careful and thorough in his work. He built the last race engine in my car and it is going strong

"UAS Professional in-house guard rolling now available for $75.00 per guard."

it was on their website, what does that mean?

When you get wheels that are 11ty" wide and have an offset of -11ty, the tyres will tend to scrub on body work. This can be fixed by rolling your guards.

Rolling guards can be done either professionally to get a good result, or with a breaker bar on your driveway for the ghetto look :D

11ty

well i seem to be getting alot of PM's of NEGATIVE feed back instead of positive feed back about UAS, everything from refusing to fix an oil leak that was aparrently due to not doing a sump bolt up properly to cracking a head gasket that was induced by a tune with Safc2 and the timing wasn't adjusted acordingly... That coupled with my own bad experience with them a while back...

Who else has done a decent 100k log book service and timing belt change, and who was it with? I keep hearing good things about Yavus's team, anyone had it done their?

And yes its just a service, but i want everything done properly on it seeing as the car hasn't been looked after as much as it should have, and that 100k is a pretty important service that can make or break the car.

And i don't mind paying alittle more for a perfect job

Peter Hopkins at ADVAN Performance does a great job. He uses nothing but the best parts and has been tuning skylines for years now, both here and in NZ.

He charges a little bit more than most but after taking my skylines to other places that are cheap and almost destroyed them...

ei: Mercury Motorsport in Queensland thought it would be a great idea to put low impedence injectors in my R33 GTST and then dyno it for 6 hours. (Any of you who know anything about injectors and RB's, will already be shaking your heads).

Nearly fried the comp and the car ran like sh*t until I took it to Peter at ADVAN, he replaced the injectors and tuned the car beautifully.

Highly recommended!

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • 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
    • 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.
