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

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?

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

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?

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.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
