100k service has arrived

[DJ_L3ThAL]

okie its time for my 100,000ks service, i know oil + filter needs changing, and my brakes are being replaced (rotors and pads) anyways in the next week and brake fluid flush/replace too so otherwise what do i need doing, obviously timing belt is the big thing but is there anything else i should do ? sparkies havent been done for about 20,000ks (ngk platinums) should they get checked/replaced ?

and anyone know places who do good services at a good price ?

Is it actually reccomended that you change your rotors at the 100k service?

I've been told water pump should be done as well.

[DJ_L3ThAL]

reason for rotors/pads change is just cause they are worn out, not to do with the k's, as for water pump i removed my clutch fan and put a thermo in and have had that for about 20,000+ks so im thinking that would take a lot of load off the water pump and hence increasing the life of it, but if its safer to just replace it i rekon ill do that

reason im asking what i should check is i wanna do most things myself, stuff thats too complex or i dun wanna stuff up ill get a shop[ to do

[Bass Junky]

I think you will (or should) really replace your crank with a forged item, new rods, forged pistons, and your turbo should be pretty much buggered by now, so a big 400 rwkw should be fitted, along with big fuel pump, larger injectors and probably a hollinger sequencial dog box.

That should all see you through to the next 100k service.

BASS OUT

The reason the water pump is usually replaced is because it's in behind the timing belt, and it's a damn sight easier to do it as part of the 100k service than by itself further down the track

[adznight]

Plus the fact if it does fail you can say bye bye engine

[Revhead]

Pfft, minor point

[WazR32GTSt]

as for place to get it serviced if you want the name of my mechanic, PM me (he's in the maribrynong area).

he has done my timing belt, greabox / diff oil changes, and rb26 cams install.

he's not an import specialist but knows his cars...

[DJ_L3ThAL]

cheers guys, so should i do the water pump while im in there ? how much r they to buy trade cost ?

[Revhead]

Don't remember how much, but they're not too bad. And yes, I'd be doing it while you have the timing covers off

[DJ_L3ThAL]

sweet, anything else ?

[(B1) MR_fanny]

my 100k's due to so this threads a heads up to me also.

where are you planning to go DJ_lethal?

Throw the TD06 ON...its a MUST

Idler and tensioner bearings. Go to somewhere like CBC rather than Nissan though - when I got mine, the Nissan ones were something like $350 each, at CBC they were (from memory) $40 for the pair. Same brand, same stampings, same everything, they're exactly the same bearing, the only thing I didn't get was a Nissan logo on the box and a much bigger bill

Also it doesn't hurt to get fan/aircon/power steering belts, and check the balancer while you're there.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

would you by any chance have part numbers of those bearings?? or something i can refer to??

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Throw the TD06 ON...its a MUST

LOL, its sold, got picked up yesterday "Ezrakael" is the proud new owner of the kit, as for my sky, im in a dilemma what to do mods-wise so first thingts first, service it and make it schmick (even though there's nothing wrong with it atm) i just wanna be sure to prevent anything happening in future coz this sky has had 0 probs since i bought it n i wanna keep it that way

as for the bearings etc yes are there any sites with part numbers etc ?

cheers guys, hopefully this thread can be stickied with the relevant info once we'ce clarified everything for a 100ker so others can use it in the future :zap:

I don't remember them off the top of my head as it was ~80,000km ago I just took my old ones as samples to CBC (which is about 500m from my house), who matched em up for me. It did take a couple of visits to find someone who knew what they were on about.

At the time (about 3 or so years ago when there were hardly any 'lines around), genuine wasn't an option, as Nissan said it'd take three weeks to get some in from Japan and didn't have a listing to compare with the RB30 ones... so they wouldn't supply them for fear of being blamed later.

i'm pretty sure the UAS site still has this information listed but just in case it doesn't.

i had ice do mine and it came out well, i got it done at 94000 howver ive noticed its been harder to start since about 102000. not sure why. have a new battery instaleld too. takes about 1 or 2 full cranks before it starts, i admit ive done no troubleshooting on it but just an annoying "feature"

[DJ_L3ThAL]

u got an aftermnarket comp ? coz wolf 3ds take ages to crank ive noticed as part of them, nothing wrong with that, and i *think* my powerfc made mine take 1 or 2 cranks longer, meh, it still starts n purrs perfectly

shivam - how much would all dat cost lol ? i mean what would say ice do for a 100k'er' ? anyone know ? i gotta head down there soon anyways to have a chat once my brakes are on the car (tomorrow YAY!) so if noone knows i guess ill enquire down there as the car is at alost 95,000 now which is when i wanna get it done
