hi guys!

My line has nearly reached 100,000 kms and i'm looking around for a place that does a good job at servicing it. What is involved within a 100k service? What is the price I should watch out for, incase I get ripped off. Is tuning involved within a 100k service? Any recommendation would be appreciated, or any experiences encountered.

thanks guys! :rant:

replace all belts...

water pump...

all fluids inc diff, box, engine, brakes and power steering

drain the coolant and replace

oil filter, fuel filter

spark plugs

what else am i forgetting?

Just booked my 'line in for its 100k service (done 93k) at FTG Nissan... gonna cost about $650... this seems to be about the normal price I've found, after searching the numerous threads on this topic.

What are others thoughts/experiences? :D

have they provided you with a list of things they will do?

A word of warning cheap quotes mean cheap oils

A skyline gearbox should run two types of oils if you want them to last:

Redline shockproof blue- $150 retail for 5 ltrs

Syntrax 75-90w + teflon treatment =$110 from Bursons, autobarn etc

Good quuality engine oil- (everybody should know about this already.)

Diff oils- Same as gearbox either redline or Syntrax

In fact if you go to the redline website and type in your engine and car type it will list all the different oils, product no's etc and when they should be changed.

You shouldn't take any chances and if you can afford redline your better off buying it as some of the more experienced skyline owners will know just how expensive taking a shortcuts on maintience can be!

The redline website also lists all the shops that sell it in Melb- and Aust

From UAS Major Service Guide:

Systems Check, reset memory, check all sensors and check for any fault codes.

Systems cleaner, (pressurised can with long bendy hose inserted in various locations to clean carbon build up in plenum chamber and tops of valves and ports as well as PCV and throttle body (s)

On line injection clean.

New Iridium Spark Plugs.

Compression test.

Water Pump. Optional N1 pump for Skylines and GTR

Thermostat

Cam belt

Drive belts.

Oil Filter

Fuel Filter

Check cam and crank seals for leaks

Check cam belt pullies

Check electrics, exhaust, suspension. Coolant hoses.

Gear oil 75w- 90 or if auto trans service extra $100.

Engine, gearbox and power steering get Uniglide treatment.

Clutch and brake fluid flushed and bleed.

Radiator and engine flush.

Clean and treat battery terminals.

Clean terminals to injector plugs, ignition coils.

Spray lubricant on throttle linkages and other.

Check and adjust water sprayers and additive used

Lubricate door hinges and strikers, bonnet latch, boot hinges, aerial mast.

Check and tighten sub frame and suspension and cross member bolts etc.

Tyre pressures checked and corrected.

Air filter replaced or if performance filters cleaned and re oiled.

B Garage in Syd quoted me $1100 for a 100,000k service for my dad's ceffy. My R32's almost at the 100,000k mark as well, but I guess I'll do most of the work on that myself.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
