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

Edited by gmac10a

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.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
