Do it ureself man its easy as, not like u have a 1jz there:rolleyes:

the only "big" problem is pulling off that crossover thingy off to get to the plugs.

Plus it gives u a warm fuzzy knowing u did it ureself:D

Oh yeah and if ure engine has a fair few ks on it dont use an oil flush. Drain as good as possible after running it for a while and just let it drip for ages. If u use an oil flush it will make the new oil cleaner but it will get rid of the nice gooey protective coating that has built up inside. Then u will probably notice some ticking noises on idle.

Adam32,

I take my Skyline to Per4manz for servicing.... SST don't do any servicing, but Grant certainly does... A little pricey compared to some others, but he does know his stuff. Maybe they are just booked up for servicing...

JHB,

They are not the same company, but they are next to each other. Grant does all his dyno work at SST.

I dont know about you...

you polly know more about your car than other ppl in a way that how your car should run...

I'll say dont just pop your car in and get just serviced... stay there and watch and learn what they do so later in time you can do the same without $$$ of machanic fee...

now I know a lot more than b4 so I will be trying do it my self on next service...

cheers

Joe :)

ps. Brett guess what? I got new sound and it's AWESOME MB QUARTZ RULES! heheh....

I go to Marows balcatta for my regular warranty service. Cost bout $80. Includes Mobil 1 synthetic oil and filter change, no changing plugs etc. (hey at least not for 100,000kms). Service comes with a warranty too.

Anthony there has one kick arse GTR. Why go to a tuning joint for basic stuff like a service? I'd do mine myself but, I have to for warranty.

Yea, I heard that ,yet at motorvation he struggled to get 330 or so and Sumo ( black , techone ) got around 370 at the rears.

Anthony wasn't happy !!

    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.  
    • Nice, let me know how you find the 98 tune
