34 Gtt 100k Service

[R34GTFOUR]

just a little tip, if you're doing the major service DEFINATELY change the water pump. You can get away with using a stock rb30 pump (get one from coventrys), you just need to silicon up one hole. I've seen 5 rb25s waterpumps all fail at the magical 140000km mark, and to replace it you have to undo all your hard work, so whilst the belts are off you might as well.

Hi Guys,

A bit off topic. I've just got my 34 last February/March. It went thru compliance etc and up till now i've yet to service it. You guys reckon should i do anything to it - i.e. change oil filter, fuel filter, etc on that day?

Mostly gonna be coming to the venue just to catch up and observe : D

[Skyline34]

DEFINITELY change the oil & oil filter incase the previous owner or compliance has put crap oil in there!!

[hotchoc]

Do you know what type of oil filter to use?

Ryco Z145A would be the filter you would use.

In regards to the water pump, its totally up to you... if you want to another 40 000kms or so out of it then there is no need to do it.

Some poeple think its worth it, other dont.

Yeh, the Z145A is the oil filter, Repco is farely decent as well.

If you guys want, I might be able to get all the parts cheap from work. But I'll need a list of everything by Tuesday so I can ask.

And Hotchoc, its definately worth changing the oil. I might service mine on the day as well, may as well!

Hey mate,

If that's the case, count me in for the Z145A oil filter. Any idea how much it's gonna be ? I already bought a Motul oil so all should be fine. What else do you guys reckon i should check for?

Full service, you check EVERYTHING!! I do it for a living, so I dont mind chucking it up on stands and having a look. Look for any leaks, colour of the fluids, all the levels, check your brakes and tyres, diff and gear box oil, just about everything really.

So thats 2 oil filters so far. Anyone else need anything?

What car do you have mate?

[SCR34M]

k i got quoted from a friend at nissan today... $418... that gives you, timing belt, water pump, all seals and all bearings... is this good or bad... i was going to get it for $360 but seems prices have gone up... must be the oil in the bearings making it jump!!...lol

F#$king price rise on everything gives me the shits!... wheres my payrise!!!!!!!

Hey mate, what about Trust oil filter? My mate reckons Trust oil filters are pretty alright -$25 from Vision R from memory. He didn't have a pleasant experience with the Ryco ones. Last time i heard, the Ryco rubber broke right after he changed his oil and his garage ended up with oil, wasn't a pretty sight : D

[br3ndan]

Ive nvr had any trouble with ryco...

I would just go for ryco.

~ 10 bucks... 25 bucks for an oil filter?? Not worth it at all.

Crivens!

Well, I would go the gates kit over the std Nissan one anyway, and it is a shizen load cheaper too. $260 with a power grip belt and $380 for the Racing belt, but you don't get a water pump (you get everything else you listed apart from the bearings?)

Exactly what "bearings" are you reffering to?

[SCR34M]

shit knows man... thats just what they told me... prolly bearings to roll away wondering"did i just get jacked?"...lol

[NA_Goodness]

$25 for an oil filter? f**k that!!

We used to use only RYCO oil filters at work, but now we've moved onto Repco ones, mainly because they are cheaper and my boss is very stingy. Still decent quality though.

[Marco-R34GTT]

my boss is very stingy.

Stingy = Phail!

If it's put on properly it's not goin anywhere Teo. Like I told you before Ryco is more than good enough.

Edit: Don't forget to change your plugs.
