Hi All,

Had my 10k service done yesterday........... the guys at Von Bibra (Gold Coast) were excellent, had a good chat to me before and after they serviced the car. Total cost was $570 which i thought was OK.....

Phil (my service guy) did tell me that my front tires were shot (inside edge) and my backs were almost down the the legal makers as well as the inside edge was gone (I have done 1 track day). Overall I was very happy with the level of service and will continue to drive the 2 hours each way for my next service

Cheers

Mark

Rather than start a new thread I will highjack yours Mark...sorry.

I had my 10k service done yesterday, I had it done a couple of thousand Km's early because I wanted to get them to change out the transmission fluid and diff fluid.

Here is the long and the short with a breakdown of costs:

Total Service $499.50.

They replaced the standard trans and diff oil for me with Willall oils. $94.00

10,000km service labour $94.00

Engine Oil 6L $112.05

Here is the killer Replacement bolts for undertray $115.00 (Because I asked for the diff and trans oils to be done they had to drop the tray off and hence Nissan policy of replacing all Bolts.

Overall the $500 for the service is quite good, MacArthur Nissan at Campbelltown even picked my car up and dropped it back in the afternoon.

Very happy with the service.

So the result of the service is as follows:

Willall Trand and Diff fliuds are awesome, after a number of track days and this car as my everyday driver I know how it used to be, I know when it would clunck etc. Now it is perfect, smooth changes, no clunking. People have said this before but I will reiterate, get these oils and even if you car is only got 500km on it, replace the oils with the Willall stuff.

The service also had a down side, my brake pads are shot, the bonding of the pad to the plate is breaking down, there are cracks in the pad and they need replacing. According to Nissan's policy I should also replace the disks, this is after 8,000km.

Anyhow I have new pads coming today and will have them fitted next week. Nissan claims that the track work with excessive heat has caused this, I call BS but gives me an excuse to buy the new pads.

Tyres are also fairly well shot, I will get them replaced next week with the Dunlops.

So there you go, summary of ownership costs after 8,000km are:

Willall Fluids $1,000.00

Nissan Service $500.00

Brake Pads $478.00

Tyres $2,600.00

Total: $4,578.00

(Excludes Track adjustments and Mid pipe)

Thought others might find this useful when working out their servicing costs.

No problems did the quote for your tires come from the dealer.......... the boys at Von Bibra quoted me (Dunlops) about 900 each for the rears and high 7 low 8's for the fronts

Gibbo did the guys at Nissan say there were any warranty implications about you not using their transmission fluid and diff oils?

I mentioned that I would be switching to Willall's fluids and while they were happy to put it in...............they said that i would breach my warranty as I was not using what Nissan specified

I went through the oils issue with the service manager when he picked my car up. They said there would be no service issue as long as the oils performed as claimed.

There was no hesitation on my request to use my supplied oils and no mention of voided warranties if I went ahead with it.

I gave the manager all the detail links and he was happy with what he saw.

That being said the story may change if something fails.

It's not the dealer who makes the call if it's warranty or not, that's up to Nissan.

Nissan has honoured warranty on Willall Fluid equipped cars in the US. In fact NNA (Nissan North America) have a positive stance on our product with several dealers stocking Willall WR35TM Transmission Fluid as a 'user select' option. Australia should eventually follow suit :devil:

      There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well

      We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?

      Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?

      Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
