Shops With People That Know?

[boiracer]

ok, heres my problem.

i live 400km off the coast, so if i buy parts from a shop out of a catalogue it's really helpful if its right the first time.

ive given up on supercrap long ago, and up until buying my skyline 3 weeks ago had relatively good luck with Autobarn and bursens. (repco and its uber prices can bite me in the ass)

thinking about doing a timing belt/waterpump change as im not sure on my KM's, but am worried that ill get stuffed around again, as i have been for oils, filters, capacities and headlight polish...........(all simple stuff)

Its my daily driver so i cant afford to have it off the road for a few weeks miles from no where with the wrong dam part in my hand....any suggestions on places where people ACTUALLY own/know/drive skylines?? R33 series II to be exact

i realise i should research everything everything long and hard before hand, but i cant think of everything myself, thats what im paying them for.......right??

are you looking for someone to do the job/supply parts or tell you what parts you need?

[boiracer]

just supply, doing all work myself, just got the car, changing all the oils, fluids, timing belt etc.

i did some research myself, on oils and addatives, but not simple silly things like the oil filter part number.

was i wrong to think an auto supply place could get that right??

done alot of reading since then anyways, so much to learn and discover

There are plenty around but I personally have found Dan @ ERD to be very good.

PS the stock oil filter should be a Z145A

[boiracer]

thnxs ill try him out.

yeah got a K&N Z145A on the way to me, lol silly me to think autobarn would be able to tell me the oil filter on a RB motor

im slowly compiling a whole list of major part numbers and viscosities, and and and....should have it all sorted within a year

If you haven't done it already, do a bit of searching around on here. It should help to answer quite a lot of your questions, a lot of what you've mentioned has been done before by other SAUers who will more than likely be happy to share their knowledge!

Best of luck with it mate
