Hay guys,

Looking at getting a full fluid change on my R35, anyone one know any good places in Perth to take it to besides Fabcar and JPC?

Nissan want $2800....

BMW in Wangara can get me Pentosin FFL4 for $36 a liter. I’m also thinking of going with Redline 0W40 or Motul 8100 X-Max 0W-40 Motor Oil. For the diff I’m thinking about Motul SAE 75W140 gear oil.

Most places I’ve spoken to in Perth want to go OEM Fluids. They want $1200 for 10L transmission oil! I can get it imported for $700?

In the UK you can get it for,

Full Fluid Service £499 ($843 AUD)
Including:
Engine oil change - MOTUL 300V NISMO approved oil and O.E. Oil filter
Gearbox fluid change - PENTOSIN FFL-4 DCT fluid
Front and Rear differential oil change - MOTUL competition 75-140 XTRAC/HEWLAND/MUGEN approved oil
'50 point check'

WTF is wrong with Perth? Just Jap Auto in Sydney also want $23,999.00 for a new gearbox?!? You can buy it for $13,100 US over in the states for a 2013 spec (GR6-Z30A)??

Cheers

Dave

I am taking mine to Galvsport Perth as well, doing all fluids for me also, just trying to sort out the fluids myself. Good info about BMW in wangara, may take a look at them

Where did you get your transmission fluid from in the UK. I may get some from there how long was the fedex postage. and costs?

cheers mate

Tony.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
