Hi,

My car is on the boat at the moment and is due next week. My importer told me it takes 2 weeks to do compliance. That means I get the car around end of month. Just wondering What I should do once it comes out of compliance.

A couple of friends told me to take it to a mechanic and do a full service. Then enjoy the car for the first week before you start to modifying it. The car is a Nissan Skyline R34 GT T series 2.

I personally hate the stock Series 2 body kit, especially the front bar. It looks like a 2000 model Camry in my eyes. Going to buy a new body kit or see if I can find a optional factory Aero body kit. Any recommendations on where to look.

Also can one of the kings on this forum tell me where the best place for a full service with a decent price is, I live in Sydney. I am not the richest person in the world so I can't afford to go to any random Mechanic. :P:):D:miner:

Congrats, welcome!

First off I'd learn to do the servicing yourself. It's mostly pretty easy on skylines to do everything like change oil, oil filter, air filter (or clean a pod filter), spark plugs, brakes etc.

And thanks to the MASSIVE tutorial section on this site, you can learn how to do pretty much ANYTHING for yourself.

Definately wait a little while before you start doing serious mods to the engine, it'll feel amazing and you'll want to cherish every moment as it is hahahaha.

As for body kit mods, that's completely up to you! If you don't like the look, change it. I personally am more of a fan of the R34 S1 front bars too.

Thanks for all the advice out of the 57 people that view my post you are the only person that respond for that I am very great full. Hopefully doing a DIY service is as easy as you said. I have done one before but that was a different car and it was a basic oil change and radiator flush. To pros like you for sure it would a easy job to newbies like me it may take some time.

I know that feeling mate... Just take your time and learn how to do it all the right way, and there's nothing you can screw up worse than on a 'normal' car haha.

Have you bought any parts yet?

I'm not a king, but I can tell you that most state-specific sections of the forum will have a sticky with a list of recommended mechanics. Vic has one :)

I have seen some glowing posts referring to how to DIY oil change on a stagea and skyline but cant locate the actual steps after doing several searches.( M35 series 2 instructions preferred)

Can a link be posted please?

      Pillar gauges

      By MBS206 · Posted

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
