R34 100k Service

[LOWESTR32]

hey peeps just about to buy a 34 has 97,000kms so just wanna know what im up for in the 100k service.

cheers

[JLTS13]

off the top of my head l think it is

Spark plugs if still using factory

Timing belt

oil + filter

as every thing else l think is done at 80,000 such as

coolant

brake fluid

air filter

fuel filter

also if you havent done your diff oil and gearbox oil done get that done to. l would also do what ever has been missed in previous services to get services back on track.

Hope that helps

Best bet for the 100k service is to check what nissan recommend for a 34 100k in a workshop manual, workshops and people will do more / less its up to you really.

I personally when I get car a change everything so I know its done

[LOWESTR32]

cheers guys!

the guy reckons he has already done 100k service and changed water pump...does that need to be done?

sounds strange to me

[LawzzZz]

I got quoted about $900 for the service? to change the timing belt and spark plugs. Does that sound about right?

100k service, I would do the following.

Timing Belt, Idler and tensioner bearing

Aux belt, aircon belt.

Oil Filter

Oil

Fuel Filter

Radiator Flush

Spark Plugs

Gearbox oil

Diff oil

Transfer case oil

Brake pads, if need replacing

Safety check.

Only the timing belt and plugs? Thats a bit too much

For my 32GTR, I bought the service kit from Kudo's Motorsport. Got the timing belt, water pump, idler, tensioner bearing changed, raidator flushed for around $950. The labor was $500 flat. You can change the spark plugs yourself, it ain't that hard dude.

The water pump dosent need to be done by the books but isnt a bad idea, as it requires the timing belt to be removed to fit a new one. Due to the age of most skylines these days getting your water pump done when the timing belt is done,it could save a bit of money done the road.

[LOWESTR32]

ahh i see now. ok sounds good to me.

ill put some pics up wen i get the bad boy back home

After your 100,000Km service has been done, TAKE NOTE that according to the R34 OWNER'S MANUAL...

THERE IS A MAJOR SERVICE EVERY 40,000Km

This would/should have been done at 40,000Km and at 80,000Km

MANUAL LEGEND SAYS...

R = Replace

I = Inspect

L = Lubricate

Therefore, at 140,000Km and at 180,000Km involving...

Engine Oil = R (and on turbo engines, every 5,000Km or 6 months whichever is sooner)*

Oil Filter = R*

Drive Belts = I

Engine Anti-freeze coolant (Ethylene glycol based) = R

Cooling System = I

Air cleaner (paper type) = R*

Fuel Lines = I

Fuel Filter = R*

Spark Plugs (Platinum) = every 100,000Km

Heated O2 Sensor (Exhaust Gas Sensor) = I

EVAP Vapour Lines = I

Timing Belt = every 100,000Km

Brake, Clutch & Auto Trans Fluid (for level and leaks) = I*

Brake Fluid = R*

Brake Booster Vacuum Hoses, Connections and Check Valve = I

Power Steering Fluid and Lines (for level and leaks) = I

Brake, Clutch & Exhaust Systems = I

Manual Trans Gear Oil (for level and leaks) = I

Diff Gear Oil (for level and leaks) = I*

Limited Slip Diff Gear Oil (for level and leaks) = R*

Transfer Fluid (for level and leaks) = R*

Steering Gear & Linkage, Axle & Susp'n Parts, Propellor Shafts & Drive Shafts = I*

Wheel Alignment & Rotation & Balancing = I

Brake Pads, Rotors & Other Components = I*

Locks, Hinges & Boot Latch = L*

Seat Belts, Buckles, Retractors,Anchors & Adjustors = I

Foot Brake, Parking Brake, & Clutch (for free play, stroke & operation) = I

Ventilation Air Filter = R*

Note:- Anything that has a '*' next to it will need attention more often under harsher operating conditions.

Hope this helps,

The 100km Service kit is a great kit to use hand in hand with Terry's great guide.

My 100KM is about to come along aswell, sitting at 92 XXX at the moment, so will probably do it around 94K or 95K.

EVEN ON MY R33 OR SOMEONE ELSE'S R32, THIS ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS WORTHWHILE DOWNLOADING/COPYING !

[taipan73]

^^^^^+1.

Been looking for this sort of thing for ages, thanks.

[Wacky Dee]

I've heard in a few different places now people recommending to get the idler and tensioner bearings replaced. What are these 2 bearings used for and do they really need replacing ? how much to replace them on an R34 GTT approx. ?

I've had my 100k (even though odo is still < 70k but who can trust that..) service already with all the belts incl TB changed as well as oils, water pump etc but never had the bearings touched.
