Hi guys,

Well, it's time for 100k km service, my stagea is almost there.

I wonder if people can recommend a good workshops for me, pref. close to where I live (around Freo) or where I work (West Perth).

Osborne park might be considered too :wave:)

PS another big question - should I change a water pump "just in case" ? :)

Cheers

yes

change water pump without a doubt

I paid for mine to be done when I first got the stagea, then 2yrs later it went again

Im pretty sure the company who did the work 1st time didnt change it, & over charged me a hell of a lot.

Needless to say I'll never go back there again.

Get every thing done. ie all fluids flushed, the complete 100000km service including all new belts etc, grease up of all lubricated areas, new oil filter, fuel filter and possibly even new fuel hose, etc etc etc

so its timing belt time hey? are you sure it has not already been replaced?

is DIY an option for you ( to keep the cost down and the fun up )

Timing belt, thats for sure. And, if am afraid, DIY it's not an option, don't even have a proper garage.

Don't let that stop you - it can all be done in a day. There are some fantastic step by step guides on RB25's here on SAU, and with a few basic hand tools you can acomplish heaps and gain a very large sense of self importance.

All my work is done in an open carport. :wave:

Couldnt agree more, take some photo's of complicated gear so at least you can refer 2 them if u get stuck and wonder where this goes etc... The self satisfaction is awesome and gives you more confidence on the next job :wave:

Or, you could host a stagea BBQ and then a few of the guys would be able tocome over and have a poke around if you get stuck with anything.

Seriously though, don't be scared of having a go of it. There is only one unbreakable rule for doing a timing belt, once the old belt is off, if no one turns the motor or cams then it is almost impossible to stuff anything up that can't be easily rectified.

I would be up for that!!! depending on time etc.

you will probably need a puller for the harmonic balancer - but I think you can get that from supercheap or somewhere for not a lot of $$$

and - you do feel remarkably smug for not having taken it to a shop

and at least you KNOW the parts are what you paid for and they actually got installed!

Well, I don't mind to get my IT-hands dirty, changed a head on Falcon, did some work on my old camry's engine. It's a matter of time and security (knowing what I am actually doing :P I got a quota from one workshop, they say it's about 6 hours job, and they know what they are doing. but 6 hours = $500 just for labour, and i could get alot of beer, wine, meat, etc for that amount of money, if I host a BBQ :)

To cut the long story short - I like that bbq idea :P

LOOOOOL! (I can't drink and work at the same time, I have a tendecy to drop oil and crap in my beer without noticing until I take a swig)

Count me in too! Maybe stick up a list of tools you don't have and we can sort out who needs to bring stuff?

Thank you for offering your help, guys :P

I will need the car to be in driveable condition by 15/02, this weekend is too late, I'm aftraid, next one... Err... Company wants me to be in Kalgoorlie on Friday and probably Friday night as well, so I might be be abck on Sat, 9th.

What about Sunday, the 10th ?

In terms of gear - I dont have much, probably just screwdrivers, set of spanners.. couple of hammers, if it counts :P

And if people with the kids want to turn up, it'll be fine as I'd hopefully have my 5yo son running around :)

Another question - what do I need to buy, belts, water pump, etc ? spark plugs ?

had a 100K service done on mine, and i had a new waterpump, all belts, filters, oils, new o2 sensor (i supplied myself), new bearings as well just to be on the safe side.. cost about 1600 dollars including labour. so NOT cheap at all, but i only went down that option because i just got the car and needed a professional to look over it, otherwise BBQ party FTW.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
