Hey all,

So i was going through some of my service papers/receipts and booklets that were given to me when i purchased my car, and i found a couple of things that might be of use to some of you. Here they are:

Engine Maintenance Schedule.

Chassis & Body Maintenance

Hope it helps, comments welcome regarding how accurate these are.

ventilation air filter would be the climate control system air filter. Behind the glove box.

Expensive OEM!

most people dont worry about it unless it gets rancid or has some problem.

Behind the glovebox!? how would you go about changing it?

with great difficulty.

as i said. Dont even think about it unless you start getting a bad smell, or you or a passenger comes down with legionairres...

Often people who go digging for it find it has already been removed anyway. Got smelly years ago n so people checked the replacement cost n then just thought f-it and pulled it out n were done with it.

  • 3 months later...

Hmmm fatality rate for legionnaires can be pretty high (50%) if it's not diagnosed quickly. If my car didn't have one i'd sort it out asap. Hate to kill myself, partner, family member, best friend because I was too cheap on an air filter.

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
