Well I posted in this thread before but the site seems to be acting funky...

I just did mine, most of which I performed myself. I changed all oils including gearbox, engine and diff. Also changed the spark plugs and replaced both oil and fuel filters. As for the rest like timing belts and water pumps I left the mechanics to do. It ended up costing me I think about $400 so I saved a bit of money doing it myself and learnt a bit in the long run.

Well, there's no better place to start then is there? Read the tutorials on SAU, ask questions and then go for it! Trust me it's not that hard and it is a very rewarding experience knowing that you have done it yourself. Hell, I'll even help you out if you are located in Adelaide

Buy the idler and tensioner bearings from Bearing Industries (search for NSK bearings will find their details) to get cheap bearings.

Then goto repco or something and get a non-genuine VL waterpump.

Should cost less than whatever the mechanic will want to put on there and work just as well.

This has been covered before in other posts but if anyone missed it, CBC (consolidated Bearing company) do a timing belt kit for R33's. Has the Gates Racing belt and tensioner/idler assemblies - ready to bolt on and they run NSK bearings. Costs about 315.00

When you do this id be doing waterpump/thermostat as well.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
