The ol girl is starting to have a real petrol whiff after i give it, more than normal......

If im looking to take it to my mechanic for a full service and tune wat will he do? reason asking is how much of it can i do at home?

Oil and filer easy...

Coolant, take off hose and drain, put hose in top and wash out then attach hose and refill,

gearbox and diff oil, no way without special filler tools,

tune? no idea

As GTST said, you arent going to be 'tuning' anything.

Has the car had its 100k major service?

As for the fuel smell, this is commonly caused by a bad seal around the fuel filler neck, something most workshops can fit for you quite easily. That said it could also be a number of other things!

ive got an aftermarket chip in the thing so dont know if that can be tuned as such.......

spoke to my mechanic today and told him about the weird noises ive been hearing.... i put my head to the engine today to wat sounded like a slipping belt but it was actually the CAM screeching....

I put in TURBO LIGHT oil last time i did a change (under 5k ago) and he says that oil is shit for skylines, the oil is so thin and black already too! aparently DOODZ put the same oil in and his engine was knocking!!!!!!!!!!

So im guna go tomorrow and get some nice thick oil put in, coolant changed, gearbox and diff and just a general service.... she will be much better after that....

Dont use turbo light oil in your skyline!

gearbox and diff oil, no way without special filler tools,

the "special filler tool" is ~$5 from any auto parts shop

Changing both gear and diff oil is a piece of piss, check the thread by Genesis in the DIY section for instructions on changing gearbox oil

    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
    • Ok now I’m extremely jealous
