Will this work guys, my car will be going to just jap in a couple of weeks as it is almost on the dreaded 100, 000KM's :). They are charging the best price for a service including the water pump which most places mentioned at an extra cost.

I was going to have them take mine off an fit the High flowed R33 items they exchange with cash. the only thing I want to know is, will it drive almost like it does now? or will it run like a dog (ie rich, spluttering and not boosting). I am going to get a power FC after xmas with a blitz boost controller. I just wanted to know will it drive like it does now, maybe better or will it be worse and the computer needs to be done straight away.

cheers guys

100,000kms or thereabouts is when you should change the timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, oils, fluids and hoses..

some things like diff oil, clutch fluid, brake fluid radiator hoses aer forgoten sometimes during your 5000km services that you might do.

so this service tends to be more expensiev than others..

My one (at 93,000kms) cost me $1800. but I also changed the radiator, clutch fan, upper and lower, front and rear bushes (that was the most expensive part)..

this is on top of all the other things I mentioned which I also did at that service.

    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
