100k service has arrived

[acsplit]

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

Yes well all aftermarket comps should not result in the car not starting first time i think it has a lot to do with who installed and tuned it..

Never had any problems with wolf firing first or second crank i guess some people don't put in the extra effort when installnig and setting up aftermarket ecu's.

On that not who cares if it takes 1 or 2 cranks its not a problem just a feature as paul said

[paulr33]

nah its the stock ecu that came with the car. if i give the car power first, let acc come on for a few seconds then crank it, it seems to start straight away its only when i turn to full crank from no power it doesnt start.

also if and when the car doesnt start first crank the apexi timer lights up with the a/f ratio. normally the apexi timer shows --- for the a/f ratio. go figure

[DJ_L3ThAL]

sounds like a fuel issue, maybe pump is weak and not filling the fuel line quick enough ?

[paulr33]

yeah it could be i have no idea, will get it checked next service

[(B1) MR_fanny]

paul can u pm me how much it cost for ur 100k service there

cheers

[INASNT]

Starting issues has nothing to do with ecu. If you have a bigger than stock ecu then generally like with my bosch pump the car needs about 2-3 turn overs before it starts because it takes longer to build the rail pressure

[DJ_L3ThAL]

my cars booke4d in at ice on monday for them to do the timing belt and the water pump (ill do basics like plugs, oil etc) and they'll do a fluids check and check over all the other stuff,

[Greg]

i just got 100,000 km service done (due by time). changed timing belt, water pump, thermostat. water pump - $150. timing belt - $85. thermostat - $22. I got it done at nissan ftg - they were good.

[INASNT]

At Fountain Gate?

How much did they charge you?

[DJ_L3ThAL]

those prices included fitting????????????????????????????

[Greg]

no those are cost prices only. Labour was $480 total, but I had some problems investigated in addition to complete 100,000km service. all i did was oil and plugs.

[NismoR34]

At Fountain Gate?

FTG usually refers to FernTreeGully

I got it done at nissan ftg - they were good.

[Greg]

nismor34 is correct - I was referring to Nissan Ferntree Gully

Is there anywhere in Melbourne that can do a service like this? Nissan FTG? Whenever I go to Ice for a service they just say "what would you like done?"

And I say whatever you think, i dont know, and they just do the oil, filter and maybe the plugs. I mean Ice are good, but i cant see them lubricating my door hinges and tightning my suspension and subframe.

[bombastic]

Sorry to dig up an old thread... but I have my 100k service and I want to do it proper.

Can you or anyone suggest how much of this would need to be done by a professional, and how much could be done by a noob? And by noob I mean I have changed my oil and oil filter once.

do u know any mechanics that can help u with it should u mess things up? u'll need to get a diagnositc for the electrical side of it, and be able to use one (ie leave it to a pro). things like timing belt and water pump etc u might eb able to do, just read up on it first, do alot of research. and u will need lots of good tools, do u have all the right tools? torque rench/compression tester etc. u done anything like findint TDC and lining up timing marks?

[bombastic]

My mechanic is very sick at the moment and won't be able to help for a while. I've been meaning to ask him who I should use in the mean time. My dad used to be really into cars... but that was pre-injection/computers etc so don't know how much he will be able to help.

I should have mentioned the timing belt has already been done, but not the idler or pulley bearings (note I have no idea what these are). That's the only reason I'd need to find TDC right, to do the timing belt?

I have access to a lot of tools (my dad is a toolmaker) and should have use of a hoist shortly. Not sure about compression testing.

I don't mind getting all the tricky stuff done by someone, but I just want to learn a thing or two and save some money. Speaking of which, should I try to get most of the parts myself and supply to the mechanic? E.g. those bearings which I know nothing of are hundreds of dollars for authentic Nissan ones, or under a hundred for NSK equivalent (thread).

What would you suggest for doing research - just reading the forums/net? Or maybe there is a book/manual I could get that would be helpful?

Thanks!

[justin911]

you should probably get these changed.. or checked if possible to make sure there alrite.

I had my timing belt done and didnt get the idle bearing/pulley thingies changed... (as my mechanic never mentioned it or found it important enough to change...) and 2 days later they snapped and belt came off.... had to rebuild engine

[adznight]

Yes, make sure you the idler bearings, just as important as the belt. I helped a friend do a service the other week. Pretty big job as far as time go's. From memory was around $600 in parts and that was trade!

A lot of the things there are a bit wanky, we were VERY particular with this car and did everything that NEEDED to be done.

We didn't have any super special tools, the harmonic balancer has marks to line everything up.

-Diff oil

-Gearbox oil

-Engine oil

-Oil filter

-Fuel filter

-Idler bearings

-Cam belt

-Spark plugs

-Water and coolent

-Water pump (why not while you are there)

-Cam and crank seals

-Cleaned air filter

Well on a side not but still service related, I had the Evo serviced today by Mitsubishi Chadstone, only a 30,000km service but $215 for it. Very happy with that.
