I'll be pickin up my new R33 GTS-t later this week and would like to do my own mini self service soon after, how’s this sound:

- Oil change (Fully synthetic? Something to accommodate freeway driving?)

- Oil filter (145a)

- Clean air filter

- Fuel injectors (metho?)

- Fuel filter (z200?)

- Coolant

- Spark plugs (NGK .08mm)

- Octane Boost :-)

- Reset ECU

- Then a Tune

Anything else?

I just got my R33 on Friday, anyway upon inspecting I found that the compliance place had already done most of these things.

New Fuel Filter

New Air Filter

New Oil Filter

Changed Oil

Changed Coolant

I haven't checked the plugs as yet or the fuel injectors and I reset the ECU myself wasn't sure on that either.

You might find that a lot of it has been done for you.

I'd check/replace your gearbox oil too. Maybe even your diff oil.

I know my gearbox oil wasn't changed when the compliance was done, even though it should've been :cool:

And maybe take your AFM off and give it a clean too. There's a thread in the Maintance section about that.

Cheers

Sorry my post may have seemed a little misleading.

Its not a fresh import, I bought it locally.

90,000 kms on the clock.

Is gearbox oil an easy job? My servicing experience extends to Oil/Air filter changes & brake calipers.

Plugs?

Timing belt at 100,000kms I spose?

prob do it now...unless it has been done before but i doubt it...but it's worth doing just just incase it is getting worn and you rather use the money now rather then it snapping and destroying nearly everything

Guest RedLineGTR

the items that he's changed...find out what he has and has not at least you will get some history..what oil has been used when wa sit last changed...make sure you check out if he can provide import papers...of some original documentation..some original details..

theres alot to do here, first dont use metho on ur injectors,

make sure u use the correct coolant, nissan coolant is good, u shouldnt mix coolants, if ur going to flush the system make sure that u do put to much coolant and not enough water, u have to get ur mixtures right

how do u plan to tune it, u need a computer to give u diagnostics on how the car is running

and u should make sure u do ur timing belt if it hasnt been done, its a big job, call around to a workshop and see how much they will charge, because u dont want things to go wrong after, its a lot of money, they will be able to tell you what needs to be done and what doesnt, ur skylines at the turning point of its life

make sure the workshop are skyline specialists

    • I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.
    • It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.
    • But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.
    • Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
