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).

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.

      Thanks heaps Duncan and GTSBoy. I'll get my old man to sit in the driver's seat and turn it on and off while I test with the meter. Or maybe other way round, depending on whether he remembers where his glasses got to

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.
