hey guys (and gals)

ive got a S1 RS260 with 73,xxx kms

I need to service the beast for the first time before i head away on a long trip soon.

I would like to do oils and filters.

what i need to know is the following:

whats the best oil to use for the motor? ----how many litres exactly will i need?

whats the best oil to use for the diffs? ---- how many litres exacly will i need for each diff?

im gonna put some redline shockproof oil in the gearbox, again, exactly how many litres will i need?

does anyone have a part number for the oil filter?

does anyone have a part number for a Fuel Filter?

Is there anything else i should be changing?

oh, and how do the nismo strut tops work? they have a little black knob with number 1-4 on them, which is the hardest setting?

cheers guys, any help appreciated.

this is going to sound arsey, but a quick read through the DIY thread answers almost all of those questions - perhaps not the nismo struts question..

have fun with your service :)

doing ur own 10,000k service??? Dont you mean 5,000?!

well i'm not doing it, the mechanic is, but i'm supplying all the parts and he is doing the hard labour.

its technically a 5,000kms service, but considering its taken me so long, might as well do the fuel filter and other things as well.

I got an 100 000 km service done on my S2 a few weeks back before I headed south to Albury from Brisbane.

From memory, I had the following done:

Timing belt,

Oil,

Oil filter,

Coolant flushed & replaced,

Spark plugs,

Water pump,

Belts checked (none needed replacing)

Hoses checked (none needed replacing)

All up including labour cost me $821. I was quoted a $1000 for it.

What you're saying sounds more like a 5000 km or 10 000 km service.

adam .... i was told somthing about bearings also .... 2 of them front and rear ?

i was shown a both of them that came of a r33 at around 98k. and looked stuffed compared to the new ones.

probably the idle tensioner bearings. its a good habit to change them at the same time as a timing belt.

whats the best oil to use for the motor? ----i use castrol edge sport 5w40

how many litres exactly will i need? 5

whats the best oil to use for the diffs? there is a castrol diff oil on the market

how many litres exacly will i need for each diff? about 1.5 from memory

im gonna put some redline shockproof oil in the gearbox, again, exactly how many litres will i need? do a search/see what comes out

does anyone have a part number for the oil filter? mine is a ryco 145a... but would be diff for the 26 i rekn

does anyone have a part number for a Fuel Filter?

Is there anything else i should be changing? the intervals of servicing... its a high end turbo car... 5000km is a good idea, and putting it off needs to b changed aswell :)

did mine today, new number plates, new globes, key battery (1620 if any one need to know)

the dudes at repco marden are very helpful +1 for them! and dude ur a Dh rider prety sure u can undo 1 bolt to drop ur oil!

i have mechanics and team managers to do that for me :)

nah just kidding. blew the clutch tonight so looks like i'll just be doing the oil, filter, fuel filter and maybe the coolant.

hopefully score myself a decent clutch at a good price from my good mates....

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
