Urgent: Servicing

[adam 32]

cars getting re-tuned next thursday, but the tuners dont do general servicing... i need a

oil and filter change

spark plugs

and possible fuel filter change

where can i go to get this done, preferably somewhere with skyline knowledge as i normally take it to the local garage but this is the first service on the new engine and if theres anything wrong with it i need them to pick it p

thanks!

What about "Performance Turbos" or "SST" they seem to be doing a few skylines, I think I'll be going there with mine when it arrives!

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.

yeh SST and per4mance are fitting the boost controller and tuning but cant do the servicing...

great guys down there though! so recommend taking your car there for sure

[HJB]

Adam 32, are SST and Performance Turbo's the same place?

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.

EVL R33,

Thanks for the info, I will be seeing them when my car arrives.

Thanks again.

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....

[EVL R33]

HJB,

No probs dude... If ya see my car there come and say hi.. Can't miss it, it's blue and has EVL R33 number plates.....

Joe,

You got PM....

[HJB]

Joe,

For generally servicing, i.e. oil change, cleaning/regapping plugs etc yeap thats easy enough, but considering my car has just landed in OZ, I believe a dyno tune for ozy fuel is cheap insurance.

[adam 32]

nah other way around

grant only deals with turbos and head work/engine rebuilds i thought (but maybe wrong)

SST were going to do it but were booked up and i need a service ASAP!!

[34GTt]

hey

i get my car serviced at Evolution R down in Bently, he does all my friends [and my] work to their cars ... quite a few 33's go there, i recommend them to you.

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.

i would go to a regular guy, as i stated preciously but im having a few nissan related problems which a regular servicer may not understand ie HICAS, and EGT

thats why i wanted some advice on a more specialised service agent

Those of us who went to the Dyno day last year will remember Anthony and Need4speed........

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 was told not too long ago that he fried a piston so it might not be as powerful now?
