Maintenance R34

[3R1K]

Guys where can I service my car? and how regular is it?

I"m not sure about Import Car actually no idea.

If any of you can help me that would be nice

Thanx

Every 4000k's.

Any mechanic should be able to change oil, plugs etc.

Just make sure they use a good oil like Redline or something.

[R34]

Maintenance is no big issue with any Skyline really.

As long as the oil and filter is changed regularly along with a normal service routine they will just run forever if treated well.

I ran synthetic oil in mine changed every 5000kms but 10,000km intervals is OK under normal conditions.

Good thing about Nissans is a lot of Parts are interchangeable to many other models. For instance an R33 power antenna is interchangeable with a Maxima one etc etc....makes sence to do it but a lot of manufacturers don't .

If you're after new parts see Steve at Northside Nissan parts.

He knows and loves Skylines (owns a 33) and is also happy to import any Nismo parts you want/can afford.

Do you have a mechanic you know and trust?

If not what part of Perth you from so someone can recommend a local

Cheers

hi there Chris

I"m living in Perth, Winthrop down south

[3R1K]

I bought it in Shacks Fremantle Or I just go there to or other?

I'm fairly new with cars , so I don't have any mechanics or friends that has import cars, and most of them not really into cars

Is the R33 skyline oil filter interchangable with Maxima as well?

I heard the front wheel bearings are interchangeable.

Seems like Maxima is the closest parts bin for skyline, I suppose due to the similar gross weight range and engine cylinders/capacity? But one is V6 3.0 and the other is I6 2.5

[R34]

I'm a northern boy so can't help with a local recommendation.

Rotomotion is near you though.

Heard they are pretty good after several changes of owners

[3R1K]

Rotomotion? I'm not sure, never heard of it.

How bout around Curtin, Bentley?

Wow are you sure the parts of Maxima similar?

If that true so I wont' have any problem getting parts for it

For oil filter good old R31 will fit.

Maxima would not be a likely donor for Skyline mechanical parts.

Although i think the wheels fit

One is a brilliant sports sedan the other is a...well a Maxima.

I only used that example to indicate that Nissan tries to keep a high level of part interchangability.

For another instance the Skyline has 300zx front suspension and 200sx rear so I'm told

I did an oil change on sunday, used a VL commo oil filter from marlows, cost me $8.

Maxima mechanical parts are a no-no.

Im sure you can polish the headlight covers using some braso, cleans it up like new. To replace them will cost heaps.

[3R1K]

Ah Ic, how do u remove the cover by urself?

Ok i'll buy braso

[Cake]

eriktufa just rub it on the outside with brasso, the dirt may look like it's on the inside but it's on the outside, and will come up like new! just don't get it on your paint

[3R1K]

Alrite thanx mate, Where can I buy braso?

[R34]

So obviously they didn't fit new halogen headlights as they are supposed to do for compliancing the naughty boys.

Nevermind the Xeon ones are far superior.

For the details on C-Red and SST just look in the white pages we can't do it all for you.

Cheers

Brasso, you buy from a supermarket, it is a metal (usually Knife and fork) polish.

i keep trying to tell ppl to use toothpaste on your headlights, hehehe, its something most ppl have already got in the house, so saves you having to go and buy something and it works real good too, mine were discusting then i used toothpaste and they came up brandnew.

my 2c.

Arrrghhh! Is this a troll? We need these questions answered like I need a hole in the head.

eriktufa, if you arn't trolling (and don't ask "what is a troll?"), use the fcuking search button. Most of these topics have been discussed within the last 2 weeks!.
