Good to see the car go into good hands

Thank you! It was nice to meet you at JustJap, I will be around soon to buy a fair few items for my next service, rather than chase power I've decided I'd like to refresh the car as much as possible, starting with an overhaul of the fluids, belts and pumps.

It seems that the car has already had some of these items changed in the past, however I do not have any records or receipts. At 140,000kms, my shopping list is:

• Engine oil: Motul 300V 10W40 and genuine Nissan oil filter
• Transfer case: Nissan Matic D
• Front diff: Motul Gear300 75W90
• Rear diff: Motul FF-LSD Type 2 75W90
• Brake/clutch: Motul RBF600 DOT4
• Gearbox - still researching suitable oil
• Spark plugs - also still researching which is suitable
• Fuel filter
• Coolant flush
• Crank angle sensor - been showing Code 11 Crank Angle Sensor/Phase Sensor for some time now, finally starting to see symptoms of a fried sensor - unwillingness to rev, revs dropping on idle, etc
• Water pump/timing belt/cam and crank seals, etc - probably will go OEM belts
• Ancillary belts - probably also OEM belts
• Thermostat
• Radiator fan - starting to show some stress cracks

If anyone has any further recommendations feel free to let me know!

Great pics, except that ugly Supra. 

List looks good to me. When doing timing belt, replace the idler and tensioner bearings also. Worth looking at Cam and Crank seals while you're there if they have never been done. If you're paying for labour, you might as well get the whole lot done and save yourself paying twice.

Thank you! Will be replacing all of the above, I went with the Kudos Motorsports 100,000km service kit. Highly recommended, took only a few days to arrive.

Thank you for the reply! I looked into all of the above links and in particular used the ayu452 blog.

I ended up getting Transmax Z for the Getrag.

Thank you!

Few little things to sort out - O2 sensors and some new tyres, after that hopefully

Did you notice any difference in the transmission after the fluid change? I just put the same fluid in and haven't driven the car yet.

Looking very hot! Love the collection of parts
