R34 Gtt 100000K Service

[69GTT]

Anyone know a decent place in Adelaide to have the 100000km service performed on an R34GTT. I need to pull mine in early as one or more of the coil packs are shot, does not run well on 5 cylinders!! Cheers

If it's your coilpacks that are buggered, you should try and replace those yourself. Coilpack replacement is not a standard activity during your 100 000 km service. So to put it in at a workshop and have them figure out the the problem and to source a replacement is going to cost you a motsa! As a general rule, try and put your car into a shop in as good a condition as possible, to save you money. I'm getting my 100 000k service done on my 34 next week. I'm doing the fluids, filters and plugs myself. But letting them do the seals, bearings and belts. You get your car back faster and save more money that way. All the while learning more about that thing you love...

Have a look in the for sale section for some OEM coilpacks. I remember seeing some a couple of days ago for a 34 that were going for $200! Failing that, another good rule to follow with imports is if something breaks, replace it with aftermarket. So read up on one of the countless threads about Yellow Jackets vs Splitfire and make a decision. You'll come of much better further down the track!

Thanks for the info, looked at the Splitfire v Yellow Jackets and a fair few issues with both by the looks of things. I have 94K on the clock so might as well do the service at the same time as change all the coil packs rather than phaff about trying to replace them one at a time. Its more finding a decent garage to have the work performed, I dont spend much time at home so not a clue who are any good as Adelaide is limited at the best of times
