My car is coming up to 100,000 kms, what should i be looking at replacing? Its also due for an oil change & new filter & fuel filter too.

Its a '96 GTS25T with stock boost and just catback and pod.

What oil/filters should i use, and what other part need replacing? I am in auckland, nz.

Many thanks dudes

Ryco filters. use 10W/40 synthetic (or semi synthetic oil). I use Motul 4100.

change: water pump, timing belts, sparkies. Flush radiator if you haven't already, same for brakes (use Motul DOT 5.1 or higher grade brake fluid). Clean the pod if you haven't already.

do you think it would be a better idea just to take it into nissan or a normal mechanic and get them to do it? im not really confident with brake stuff or the timing belt....

[CerealKiller]

do what you're confident with to save money. 100K services are never cheap if totally done by the mechanic.

Try and source the parts if you can. Nissan will charge an arm and a leg for Skyline parts. Take it to your mechanic (if you have one) to do your brakes etc...

>_! never cheap...

yes all you said above in changing timing belt,water pump ,oil filter,sparkies ALSO change your idler bearing approx$300 from nissan oh and by the way DO NOT use an aftermarket water pump as they are inferior to nissan parts, also you may need your computer re set on the nissan consult or your idle will be erratic. if you have powerfc dont worry, good luck guys i just recovered from the bill.
