I have nothing but good things to say about ultimates, I recently spun a big end in my car at wakefield park @ an ultimates track day. They guys towed my car(and me) back free of charge and gave the option of it going to their workshop or my home. I had some space issues that prevented me having my car at home during the rebuild so again free of charge after they pulled the engine out (paid for that) they towed the car to their home to stored undercover.

I could go on with alot more....

you can PM me about ultimate if you like, but thats was ages and ages ago, herd good things about them now

Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic to fit a clutch? prefer in tuggeranong or woden area.

I already have the clutch and only need it fitted.

Also a rough estimate for the Labour would be great.

cheers

Ultimate tunes dyno is not accurate, far from it actually, i have also heard from very Reliable sources it has not been serviced since purchase some years ago

not trying to burn them but if they have fixed it in the last couple of months dis re gard this, have factual knowledge of this pm me if you require details

they use a mainline dyno i believe...my mate had his rex done there and they couldn't get it above 140 on their dyno...he rang around every workshop n they said it shouldve been about 160kw's for the mods...they told him it was cuz it was a mainline dyno...

eh...dynos aren't for power neways n he was happy with the tune so yeah...

Autotech recently done a really poor job on my car... Took them literally 3 months to finish my car (simple turbo installation) in which I was told it would only take a week and after all that time, the final tune was really poor, on cold starts my car rev surges on its own and is running heaps rich..

These guys were pretty highly recommended on here, and I have had done business with them before with no problems, but this time round I was really upset with the job and the price I had to pay at the end.

I also hate it when ppl quote a job and then decide to throw an extra thousand $ on top out just cause they think they can..

I dont think I will ever be taking my car there again..

On the recommendations side, Trojan and ESP have done good by me, and have been honest with time, money and work so far.

i had my new clutch put in by esp last week....good service, good price (significantly cheaper than autotech) and got done the day after i called them which is awesome...and now my car goes proper.

woooooo

I saw your car last night on Northbourne! (I was driving a green BA XR8 ute) Looked sweet.

i reccomend using lube mobile while there not really on the modifying side of things they will service anything and take great care of there customers and cars and yea they even come to you lol there service prices are even fairly resonable.

    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
