New tires and a service please.

[Milo]

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

Tyrepower in CanningVale, tell him you're from SAU

Any performance shop really but to be honest, if its just a service, even Repco can handle it if u provide them the oils, etc

[ix9]

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

Milo, My mate owns Tyrepower in Canningvale, and has looked after a few of the boys already. As Kym says, all of the fluids are easy to change, on timing belt really needs to be done by a mechanic.

[Milo]

Ok any where to find easy instructions on doing the fluids?

How long would it take?

Any ideas on which fluids to buy for them all?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Milo, Best to ask one of the guys to come over and help, that way you'll learn, plus get it done properly. Just offer them some beer in exchange:D

[Milo]

As above. Kym? You are local. My old man can help but he dont know much about these new fandangled Turbo machines! haha

Beeer!!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Kym will do anything for beer, and he has some idea of what he's doing:D

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

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

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Kym will help you do a full lube job;)

I'll be goin for those Simex (read:cheap, but dam effective) for my next set too

[Milo]

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.

[drifta]

how much are those simex tyres please

[Red Sky II]

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

i ran 2.0 60ft times with simex at drags

id buy them again for sure

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.
