Best Place For Servicing You V In Sa?

[itpesaf]

Hey guys,

Just wondering where you guys get your cars serviced and how much you pay for a routine service?

I'm thinking of taking mine to japanese motorsport getting oil/oil filter change and diff/gearbox oil change for $315. Does this sound like a good price?

I wish I knew how to do it all myself I have two jack stands but after an incident a couple years back I'm not too keen on working under a car anymore.

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

I serviced my V35 myself with the help of a mechanic friend, even did the transmission serviced ,coolant change too.

Cost me all up $400 for the stuff to service and a bottle of scotch as a payment to the friend, lol

Its not hard to do it.

Go buy castrol edge 5w30 from repco or supercheap $69. Get an oil filter for a 350z ryco brand $9. Air filter any brand$15.

Drain oil. change filters. put almost 99% of the oil in then your done.

Does the trans actually need doing?

well it's done 100k so I figure I might get the motor/trans/diff oils changed before I get the rest of the major service done.

Ah i see. Well the only thing thats kinda hard is the trans service. The diff is easy and the spark plugs just take time. Youtube has lots of videos on servicing this car.

Thanks Vimana! - might get it done professionally this time before I attempt (and probably fail) at doing it myself

If its an auto, best to get trans done professionally... they hook it up to a pump and push the old oil out with new to keep airlocks from getting in

And yep oil filter is Ryco Z445, same as 350z and s15 silvia
