Just after some advice.

Who here has done their 100K service, and if so what did you change, and how much did it cost you (either yourself or workshop price?)

I'm currently only a couple of thousand away, and looking at doing the following things. Is there anything lve missed that l should be looking at doing, or anything l've added that really doesn't need to be done?

-Diff oil

-Gearbox oil

-Engine oil

-Oil filter

-Fuel filter

-Idler bearings

-Cam belt

-Spark plugs

-Water and coolent

-Water pump (why not while you are there)

-Cam and crank seals

-Cleaned air filter

-Systems Check and reset memory and check all sensors and check for any fault codes.

-Tune SAFC2

-Fit 3" turbo back dump pipe up

Rough estimates l'm up for about $4-500 in parts, now most of it l can do myself, like the oils, filters, coolant, plugs, etc... but would be looking at a workshop to do the rest (pump, seals, cam belt, tuning, etc..), so should save some $$$ doing things myself.

Anyone in melb had there's done, if so where at?? (esp out east/south east)

thanks in advance!! :D

I was just reading all the links supplied about the 100k service in the melb section here is a link to the one in the melb section and there is also a link in this thread with even more info.

yeah that is the thread that made me ask the question in here, was seeing if there's anything different we need to look at doing that other rb owners don't have to do.

Plus l don't think there's a thread that covers this service in this area, and maybe a good reference point for those that are approaching it.

i'm staring at my 200,000km service soon. gearbox will be changed before then, i might get it done at that point.

the car has done me well, no major hassles (alternator died a while back)

As I've said in another post somewhere, I know someone with a R30 who has done over 500,000km, and has only done the regular stuff like oil, filters, belts, the odd shock absorber etc except for having to replace the injectors at about 350,000kms...

slightly different engine but i guess the principles the same. older engines do have less bits though so less bits to break. my old 71 kingswood had a 253 V8 and it was indestructable. i don't know how many times the clock had ticked over but it was a very simple engine. would this be a factor in engine life? how long does the VQ35 last? does anyone know because it's only resonably new.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃

      Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.

      Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.
