Hi guys ive been doing some research on the forums about the 100km or import service people carry out on their gtr's. I'm not going to be chasing any serious power. I just want somthing reliable.

These are the things i'm definatly doing.

Replace ALL fluids

Change timing belt and have others inspected

Change all filters, oil, fuel etc.

Now I hear alot of people also do these.. are these a good idea to do for what i want?

Change fuel pump (if yes genuine or aftermarket?)

Change oil pump (wouldnt this cost ALOT?)

Clean injectors (if the car runs fine now is that necessary?)

Water pump

New spark plugs (again is this necessary if the car runs well?)

any other MUST DO'S to stay reliable?

(I already know the about the turbo's :) )

Thanks guys!

Full service you will do;

Spark plugs

Fuel filter

Oil filter

Oil

Maybe run injector cleaner

Change the timing belt

Water pump

Flush radiator (new coolant)

Tensioner pulley (I think?)

Don't need to change oil pump, or fuel pump it self.

If something else comes to mind I will post it up for you.

thanks alot!!! is there much cost involved in doing the idler and tension units, cam seals and front main seal? Thanks!

The tensioner and idler can be had for cheap, jsut DO NOT go to Nissan. They quoted me damn near $500 (from memory), i ended up getting them for about $90 delivered. Good idea to do seals while you can. C

Hahah so true.

If you have a look through the trader section man, there are usually like 100,000km service kits available.

That includes like water pump, tensioner, timing belt, seals etc

I will see if I can find something for you and link you up.

This is an old thread, but basically something like this kit would be ideal for what your doing :)

Hope that helps and gives you some idea of whats needed.

Good luck.

Thanks for that!! i have a couple of questions.

1. Would i benefit from having both exhaust and intake side cam gears? I kind of remember someone saying you dont need 1 or the other.

2. Would the car have to be tuned upon installtion of the cam gears? or will they simply adjust them the same as the previous config.

3. If i change the cams seals now and decide to go for adj cam gears later on will the seals need changing again? is it one of those things you may aswel do?.

4. Is there any point in a hks or trust timing belt as the nissan one is good for 100,000km's?

Thanks for any advice! >_<

Get genuine Nissan parts where possible...it might be a bit more expensive but

you know they have lasted till your so called 100K...

In my opinion try 200K..just my opinion though.

Oh...don't delay your service..I did mine the week I got the car.

PS..don't confuse yourself....get your service first..

Cams will be no good with your stock turbo...and gears will have no impact as well.

SERVICE

AIR INTAKE/EXHAUST UPGRADE

TURBO UPGRADE

PFC/BOOST CONTROLLER

TUNE AND DRIVE

Getting the cam gears at that stage while the timing belt and pulleys are off is a good idea. Might aswell do it cause there are some good gains to be had with cam gears and a PowerFC.

Doing it now just saves you labour $$$ later and would only cost you the cam gears themselves now.

ok well i am planning on doing a power fc and new turbo's later on down the track but not at this stage. The car already has a full exhaust and ive orderd new filters for my pods as the old ones were filthy. Already have a boost controller though ill be leaving boost as standard for now. Don't want to risk stuffing a turbo or my engine. Anyone else comment on the fuel pump? Should I go aftermarket or genuine? Only ever going to be after 250 to 300awkw.

Can anyone answer these Q's?

1. Would i benefit from having both exhaust and intake side cam gears? I kind of remember someone saying you dont need 1 or the other.

2. Would the car have to be tuned upon installtion of the cam gears? or will they simply adjust them the same as the previous config.

3. Is there actually and advantage having hks or trust timing belt over the genuine nissan? I can't imagine there would be ANY difference in terms of performance.

THANKS :)

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
