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.

      Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
