Service

[siba33]

hey guys had my r33 serviced not too long ago and its due to be done again, theres a few things that need to be done--

driver belts cracking

coolant flush

power steering pump leaking, replace?

rocker cover gaskets leaking

-option aparently no needed to be done straight away---

gearbox mount has minor cracking

front bumper rubbing on intercooler pipe

so my questions is any of this a major problem and how much roughly am i looking at having to spend?

i would prefer to get all this fixed as im looking to sell as soon as its all ship shape.

cheers for any help

None of it is a major problem. Here's the result of each:

Drive belts - eventually snap and you'll lose power steering, air con, accessories etc.

Coolant not flushed - radiator and cooling pipes become clogged with rust and scale, coolant loses its cooling/anti-freeze properties.

Power steering pump leaking - will shit you up the wall and you'll be replacing fluid frequently, other than that just noisy turning when running low and impossible to steer when empty.

Rocker cover leak - oil all over the engine bay, if it's a minor leak it's not a problem.

Gearbox mount - will vibrate the gearstick/gearbox.

Front bumper rubbing on intercooler pipe - just aesthetic damage over time.

So that said, none of it is really a major problem in the short term, but things you should attend to when you can.
