Anyone out there with a RB Engine or SR Engine who wants thier oil or spark plugs changed and doesnt have the time to do it yourself?

I can do it for you, and if you dont live too far from the Adelaide CBD i'll come to you and help you out.

Oil Change - $30 labour - should be changed every 6000kms if you have a turbo

- Recommend Shell Helix Ultra

Spark Plugs - $30 labour - should be changed every 8000kms

- Recommend NGK Coopers 7 Series(Colder - Handles extra boost better) 0.8mm

Coolant flush - $30 labour - should be changed once a year if your picky

- Recommend Honda, Subaru coolant that you can buy from dealers

but I'd rather use red line water wetter mixed with distilled water. I can get this for you too from the store but you could probably get it cheaper if you did your research.

You can provide all the stuff, I'll just put it in for you.

But i can go down to sprint or motor traders to get it for you if your that lazy.

PM me if interested.

No catch, I just like working on these cars and that small pocket money allows me to save for my crash repairer bill.

:O

Gear box oil will be difficult without access to a pit or hoist, as normally the drain and top up screws are done up by some sumo in japan with a fetish of doing up screws tight, so u need quite some leverage space to get those bastards out.

I can now do your diff oil onsite providing your car isnt too low and I can sqeeze under thier.

No one interested yet? Is everyone paying garages to do this? Why not get it done cheaper and onsite!

I prefer skylines, cause those sr20 oil filters are a bitch to take off.

do you think that you can give me a hand with removing an oil filter from a sr20. Ive tried many wrenches with no luck, the dam oil filter itself is too small and confined. But i did replace it once before just cant now for some reason.

noz you need to jackup the car then if you take out the speedo cable at the rear of the gearbox on a SR it will drain the fuild then undo the nut on the side of the gearbox and run a hose into the hole get out from under the car a pour a bottle of g/d fuild in presto instant g/b oil change no need for pit

that sounds pretty straight forward. i'd follow these step when changing the g/b fluid. But what i need help with though is removing the oil filter. When i last changed it, i think i placed one which does not allow me to have enough leverage to twist the filter off and ive tried all tyres of oil filter wrenches with no success. Ive seen another type, non clamping and twisitng anti-closewise model, where you just place it over the filter and tighten a screw then twist. The only one with this is that the handle you use to twist seems to be too long to have enough clearance to undo the filter. any suggestions.

I like the good ol Copper v-groove sparky's (BCPR6E for .8mm gap).

Motor traders are the cheapest.

They don't appear to foul as easy when running the car a little rich.

In the past I've had one set in as long as 25,000km's running 1-1.1bar without missing a beat. I pulled them out and they still looked perfect. Threw new ones in and didn't notice any difference. :(

Hey Nozila,

I have a tool with mods that I can do it with. I've changed it around 5 times in my life time with hands only all where bitches, but using this thing made it a little easier, but its still a bitch.

I surely can do it. Get into contact with me.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
