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!

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
