Hi, just bought an R34 GTT and ive got about 3 months before i can legally drive it so first thing im gonna do while its off the road is have a good look around and replace some shiz.

I know its got a good service history in the past and it was last serviced about 10,000 ago.

I intend on doing the oil n oil filter (putting a 7.5w30 oil in) the engine bay and other fluids are very clean n no leaks but im wondering what else you guys think i should look for or replace? I'm gonna check the spark plugs see if they need replacing as well as cleaning the air filter. I'm used to normal servicing on cars but i want to be thorough with this car. I also have a couple hoses im going to replace as they are hard or deteriorating. But any other suggestions? Its at 150km which i know is pretty high and thats another reason for the thoroughness of this particular check.

Congrats on the new car. I would change the spark plugs no matter what, tire pressure, battery, fuel filter, oil, oil filter. Just go over the whole car.

oil,filter,spark plugs,air filter,fuel filter

make sure u gap them plugs right

has the timing belt been done?

^^^ +1 including timing belt/tensioners if history is sketchy.

Whilst changing plugs, check looms/coils for hardness/burn-scorch marks.

Change all coolant fluid if it's still got Japanese H2O inside.

Start your log book if you haven't got one.

I definatly would get oils done asap. then filters and sparks plugs.

Also, i always buy new wiper blades when i get a car. No one ever seems to replace the crusty rubbers.

Best $7 you will ever spend for those wet days.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
