I am chasing good places in the southern areas of perth, I live near Kwinana, To do a service on My car. it is a big one as it is the first one after buying nad its 130 000kms any way.

Also i need to adjust the toeing as my tires are all worn about an inch on the insides of the front. An there fore need new tires. Any one know a good place or to to get some prices?

This really pisses me off coz i got it balanced about a month ago and has obviously caused excessive wear. (bob jane Kwinana)

1 Servicing 94 R33 GTST

2 Proper balancing

3 Set of New Tires. Maybe 2 only depending on cost.

I am mainly after reliability but of course price is an bonus.

Thanks, Milan

I'd buy all the oils/supplies you need and do most of it yourself, but take it to a proper performance shop to do the timing belt :(

Diff Oil, Gearbox Oil, Engine Oil, Coolant, Oil Filter, Fan Belt, Water Pump can all be done yourself..

Oh Yeah, Milan, try Bob Jane in Rocko for a good deal on Tyres ;)

Go buy the stuff first... You'll Need.

Gearbox - Castrol VMX80 Shockproof (5L Containers)

Diff Castrol LSX90 LSD Oil (Stinky as hell, but fun to play with)

Coolant - And Green/blue/pink whatever the hell you like designed for alloy radiators.

Engine Oil - I'd go either Full Synthetic 10W30 Mobil 1, or a Semi Synth in the same brand :rofl:

Oil Filter - Ryco Z145a

Fuel Filter - Part number coming soon, i have it written down somewhere:)

Spark Plugs - NGK BCP6RES (Gap them to 0.8mm)

Tools - Spark Plug Remover, Feeler Gauge, 3/4" Drive Socket set (for gearbox & diff oil bungs) Various Screwdrivers, A Jack (trolley jack preferrable), few bricks/blocks of wood, Oil catch tray, and Fluid Pump to pump in Diff & Gear Oil..

There's not much to it really, but if you get stuck you can give me a call, I'd be more than happy to help :)

I talked to a guy named Darren (was sent their from Dymatech Racing) he and Dymatech suggested Hancook Silica somethings as they have got them and have got about 43000 k's just by rotating every 10000.

only $170 ea. so thats not bad but i will ask about Simex.

As for the tune it looks like maybe some small upgrades may be in the works. Ie front mount first. So i will probably go to dymatech racing as i like the way he runs his business and it is about 1000m from my house. and i will be bartering some work for him. Thanks heaps anyway.

Hope to meet up wiht you all again soon....

ANy one got any ideas on the next cruise Date/time.... Please be sunday night or any night other than Wed or Sat, (damn work)

Again THanks all for yoyur help.

I had Simex tyres put on when my car got complied and they were around $195 each for 235/45/17. This was in October last year.

Not bad to date, haven't seen too much wear, fairly good in the wet but back loses a bit of traction on wet roads (which just adds to the fun).

Cheers, Al

Prefer Redline Lightweight Shockproof myself.

Oil Filter - Ryco Z145a

Or genuine Nissan for less.

Fuel Filter - Part number coming soon, i have it written down somewhere:)

Bosch fuel filter 0 450 905 002 is bigger than standard, has better flow and fits the factory bracket.

      I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears.

      Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P

      Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information
