funkymonkey, u should just do the oil change urself. doesn't take long at all and will save u a shiat load of money. buy some decent oil and change it urself every 5000 or so k's. and then wen its due for the major service take it somewhere.

else some places charge like $75 just for oil change and inspection. not worth it.

anyone wanna tell me how to do it, which oils to change etc? I've always jus fanged it into my favourite service centa (which used to be tuffy's down the block from my house in Epping, NSW, here I dunno anyone.

Anyways, I don't have a garage, so if its too messy n complicated i wouldn't be able to do it. I could get a pan n stuff to drain it I guess.

What do I check every 5000k's n how? it sez on the japanese service manual but i can't read kanji.

Its for a 2.0L N/A r32... I'll probably pop into ICE once I hit 10k coz I really want sumone to give it a thorough check, right now it just needs a minor checkup.

Change oil every 5k no matter what is a good rule to go by. Most ppl use mobil one but there are always alternatives eg insanely expensive royal purple etc etc.

I change my own oil but im not sure hwat actaully happens in a 'major service' any1 knows what actaully gets done plz make a list:D

hey funkymonkey, its real easy, i just did it yesterday and i'm really no mechanic and not good at that sort of stuff, so anyone can do it.

go out and buy some engine oil, (best if u buy it on sale from k-mart or supercheapauto or something like that, u save quite a few bucks) buy the oil filter from autobarn z145a $10.

then let the car cool down a bit and just jack her up and drain the oil and pour the new one in. mite want to let the car down again wen ur draining the oil so that more of it comes out.

check ur oil, its prolly quite black by now if u haven't changed it in a while.

all up cost about $30. cost me around $20 for mobil S (semi synthetic, on sale from k-mart :D ) and $10 for ryco oil filter.

The ryco filters are pretty crappy and i think the authentic nissan filters are cheaper anyhow.

If u havent done it in a while u might also wanna think about buyin a bottle of oil flusher (think thats what the call it) loosens up all the oil so i drains better but it can also mean that u lose all that nice sticky stuff protecting ure engine.

A service once every 5k keeps the mechanic away...

For me and a few mates this is what we do :

5k intervals

Engine Oil with new oil filter

Gearbox Oil

Oil and Clean Pod Filter

Computer Reset (on thos with the stand ECU)

Inspection of pads/rotors/fluids/belts

10k

as above with

brake bleed

new fuel filter

flush radiator

compression test (helps when you mate is mech with all the good tools)

20k

as above again, but adding new spark plugs, new air filter element , brake pads usually

The Nissan 100k is pretty big and needs a workshop

all the above and :

change of all belts, water pump, alternator (?)...not to bad on the 'Lines as they have a timing belt...****ED if your doing it on a SR which has the chain...gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Thanks for the help guys..

I have another problem that i hope you can help me with..

One of my fan belts is half the original size (width ways) parts of it are shredding off and I desperately need a new one but no one seems to know the part number.

The belt is (as you look at the engine from the front) the bottom one on the right hand side.

If any one has any idea on the part number please email the email address below.....thanks.

    • Anyone want to make me an offer to take my v36/g37 3.7l manual coupe in full? Off memory it was low 100k km but the battery is flat so can't tell right now. What's wrong. I had engine problem's that led to a nice clunk. It made it home but it wasn't pretty for the last few kms. Happened under revs. Sounds like bottom end.. never got around to fully checking or fixing it so the car has sat still and unregistered for a few years. Minor bump in front end set the pedestrian protection under bonnet airbag off and that was meant to be repaired, but while waiting for the repair (parts to come) I got the engine problem. The rest of the car is in decent condition. All drive line is good. All interior is good. Leather interior. Wheels in good condition and decent tyres although the ps4s are likely a little too old now it's sat still. Colour of the car is pewter off memory, the dark grey colour. In Camden NSW. Would need a tray back pickup.

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?
