Hi all,

My 1995 R33 GTS-T is long over due for a bit of TLC. I've booked in for a Major service at Boostworx - I know they have a great reputation.

I've been quoted $1450 for a full major service including all fluids w/ Redline Gbox oil, Timing Belt, Water pump, plugs etc. Idler is not included in the cost (I'm pretty sure mine needs replacing, will be extra $60-70).

Seems a bit steep to me and a bit of research pulls up some old threads suggesting the cost should be around the ~$1000 mark, but it may have gone up.

What do you think, is that a fair price or should I shop around a bit more?

Cheers!

Sounds fair.

Normally $1000 is base. Redline oil is costly stuff as well and would rack the cost up.

Yep and an N1 water pump too is slightly more expensive than a standard one, so this too could put the price up if thats what he's installing

hey mate, also give Brenton at Fours N More a call and see what he can do for ya. He serviced the Rb25 in my drift car for years and never had a problem. Great mechanic and a awesome tuner too.

Give him a call on 82602011 and let him know Luke with the orange S13 put you onto him.

Just curious as to how they can touch up afr on a stock car?

Would also like you to elaborate on this damo?

I had a pfc at the time so whether they factor this in to all services as just a "dyno and afr check" , but im sure they told me of an adjustment without me telling them i had a pfc.

I recon $1000 is pretty steep I paid under $500 for a timing belt kit and water pump to be installed on my stagea. I wouldn't think fluids would double the price.

All depends how in depth they go - $500 is a very good price for that to be installed, considering a pump is $200 odd and the belt is $100 odd. $200 for labour for that sorta job? bargain. But i bet they didnt purge the oil, replace the oil, replace the oil filter, dump the coolant, flush the radiator, refill the radiator, dump the gearbox oil, refil with gearbox oil, dump attessa fluid, bleed the system, refil it, check CV joints, bushes, check brake pads, dump, flush and replace brake fluids with decent dot4 etc

Minor services are cheap enough but with a major you generally get what you pay for if they check everything thoroughly. I can't speak for many workshops but I know boostworx always give conservative quotes, and they are very thorough. I've been totally happy with their work lately and will be going back in a cpl weeks for my attessa system to get fixed properly

      Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out

      I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
