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!

oh and dont forget to " bag and tag " all the parts etc.. those ziplock bags work a treat.

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.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
