Every 5000kms I do a engine oil + filter change. But my first big service included diff,g/box, brake fluid and P/S fluid..... I like the make sure my babys running with the best of lubes :)

Will help if you have a go at servicing it yourself, You will learn a bit, and save lots of $$$. And when your doing up sump bungs, dont do them up that tight so you will never get it off again. Changing all the oils in my car made it feel completely different - she just seemed to run better/drive better.

Sumo,

Any chance u can do a pictorial tutorial for all those newbies (like me) out there? I mean, it would help great if we could change our own car's oil!!!!!!!

Try grab a friend or soemthing to take some pics during your next oil changes....All the newbies would be grateful!!!!

Yer agree with Sumo too.. the first service is going to be expensive.. tho one question.. is it worth to replace the iradium spark plug as well?

This is for a R34 GTT :)

Sorry, have been away at tafe all last week. Mindflux, I can tell you what you need to know.. but I dont have a camera. Its not really hard at all, you just gotta find the bungs. There are some really top guides blokes have made... Just remember tho, always undo the top bung first in your diff and g/box, so that you know you can refill it... dont wanna get stuck with no oil in your box or diff. :)

    • Hey guys! Thanks for the feedback!    it’s got some basic mods currently but it’s been tastefully done  has a z32 Maf and a HKS Mushroom filter an old logo nismo strut brace, splitfire coil packs, braided turbo lines, turbo smart boost controller, walbro 450 fuel pump, sports cat and a reinik cat back exhaust, shock works coilovers, Greddy turbo timer, blitz FMIC, blitz BOV, hard race hicas delete, ebc brakes (front), excedy heavy duty clutch, Michelin pilot sport 4 tyres, and the 33 GTR wheels from memory. i have also had my mate 3D print a gas cap holder for inside the petrol flap haha but she’s very clean underneath (being a paint sprayer of 15 years I did not want to mess around with rust!) and she’s had thousands spent on maintenance over the last few years, she drives like a new car!  my future plans is to do an RB30 rebuild with a 25 head uprated turbo etc etc I’m hoping to start this next year, I’ve just opened a premises for my business so that takes priority at the moment! But overall I’m extremely happy with it!    
    • I'm just being rude. The VQ was developed by Nissan Japan, but it comes from the time when Renault were....ruining what Nissan had been before. Just look at a Nissan Tiida, and tell me that you're not looking at a Renault. In fact, just look at a V series Skyline or Z33 etc and tell me that you're not looking at something Frenchified. I just see the VQ an emblematic of that. It is also a nasty sounding thing. I'm really glad I chose to stay RB and not put a VQ30 in when I did my car. As to the RB30 being Aussie.....arguably it's a bit Aussie.
    • That depends, if the French got it from the Japanese, its Japanese. Or, is the rb30 aussie? Also, wouldn't it be Vq for a junior variant? 
    • As soon as the MAFs are replaced with ones that work properly, if the harness isn't ruined it should run perfectly immediately. 
    • If you haven't already decided on a career, look at being a mechanic, engine reconditioning or mechanical engineering. All 3 will give you different views and levels of knowledge (eg, mechanic is general for the whole vehicle, reconditioning will teach you engine specifics, engineer can design stuff). Or.......find something you love doing, hope its a well paying area and pay someone else to build the car for you. After 20 years of mechanicing, I've lost the passion for working on my own car. It may be different if I had access to a hoist, but it is what it is.
