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 ;)

*bows*

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

Any ideas on which fluids to buy for them all?

fair enough ya tryin to save a few bucks on doin ya own servicing but hey cmon if ya dun know what ya doin and have to ask how to do it. DONT DO IT.... youll prob end up stuffing it up or possibly even worse proberly cost ya more to fix ya u stuffed up.

My thoughts... :)

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'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
