i think it is a self fulfilling prophecy almost though with the plethora of information freely available on the net, more and more people are doing basic maintenance on their cars themselves. this used to be the bread and butter of your local mechanic as such, local mechanic has fewer customers, and therefore needs to sting people every now and again to make any money personally, i'm just starting to learn to do things myself and find it quite handy/enjoyable others don't have the time/inclincation/tools to do so, and therefore have to pay (sometimes through the nose) for the privilage

in theory, you should wire each subs coils in series, then parallel the subs together http://mobile.jlaudio.com/support_pages.php?page_id=163

this is what i need, yeah? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200668207240&fromMakeTrack=true have asked whether it will fit the Neo engine, and about the half moon seals

these things? http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=18579&cat=&page=1 how hard are the gaskets to change? this link looks good? http://www.skylineowners.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1509814 looks like i need some gasket silicone too? would Nissan sell the gaskets cheaper?

hi all learning a lot about my car over the past few weeks anyway, how hard is it to change the rocker cover gasket on an RB25DET Neo engine? do i need one each of: http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=18578&cat=318&page=1 http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=18577&cat=318&page=1 do i need any grease/gasket goo as well? easy enough to do while i'm changing spark plugs? also, CV boot replacement quote of $200 (front driver side only). is that reasonable? or should i get a quote from a specialist CV place? many thanks all

how much power can you get to before the SMIC is maxed out?

are these part numbers right for a S2 C34 RS Four S? 1) Spark plugs - NGK BCPR6ES-8 Standard Spark Plug Set - Nissan RB20/RB25/RB26 (Just Jap @ $30 http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=19503&cat=307&page=1 ) 2) Fuel filter - Ryco Z200 or Z201? what's the difference? (Supercheap Auto - Z200 = $15, Z201 = $26) 3) Air filter - Ryco A360? (Supercheap Auto = $14)

UPDATE got another quote (from a pretty reputable place): - coolant flush - change gearbox oil - change transfer case oil - change front and rear diff oil - brake and clutch fluid flush - check CV boots - check rear main oil seal for leaks - check rocker cover gasket - check water pump - check clutch - check turbo all of the above for $495 (including oils/coolant/fluids) i will do the rest of the stuff myself: - spark plugs - fuel filter - air filter - wiper blades so looks like it will cost me far less than the original quote

wife reckons she didn't hear anything out of the ordinary i'll check the wastegate hose what would a replacement cost? my warranty will only cover up to $500 for parts and labour

car is (afaik) running stock boost, and is pretty much stock stock boost guage seems to be working will try and get under the car and pull the cat, hopefully i don't find pieces of ceramic wheel

i don't drive my Stagea (S2 C34 RS Four S) all that much, as it's the wife's daily however, drove it a while today and it's not making any boost. like zero, none feels sooooo slugish recently serviced by a reputable workshop (3 weeks ago) battery went flat the other day, but i wouldn't imagine that would cause a problem? any ideas on what i can check/do?

i'd be interested in: front door trims climate control module air con vents if you could make it to Sydney

ever get down to Sydney at all? interested in some parts if you do cheers

what's the pricing on clutches?

PM incoming

city/highway mix?

responses above i'm not too mechanically minded when it comes to car engines (as you might tell) car audio/electronics i'm fine with, but that doesn't help anyone in Sydney with the knowledge on how to do this stuff want to help me out and earn some $'s???

thanks guys might get another quote

hi all took my Stag (RS Four S) in to get rego/pink slip done, but this time took it to someone who knows what they're doing they are recommending changing/replacing the following: water pump water pump gasket coolant flush gearbox oil transfer case oil rear diff oil front outer CV boot rear main oil seal brake and clutch fluid flush rocker cover gasket spark plugs fuel filter air filter wiper blades what would you expect to pay for that? is this a pretty accurate guide for changing plugs? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/192015-diy-changing-coilpacks-on-r34-gtt/page__hl__coil how hard is it to access/change the fuel filter? EDIT found this? http://www.anthonymcgrath.co.uk/gtroc/fuelfilter.htm air filter and wiper blades are obviously easy any/all help appreciated thanks
