Hi all...

I live in Melton and it seems to be the one place you dont want to own a skyline. Although i have seen a few around.

I moved here about 3 months ago from Newcastle and have been pretty much flat out with work since i got here.

My 33 has been in need of a service for a while and Im after any info of where to take it around my area.

Thanks

Hi all...

I live in Melton and it seems to be the one place you dont want to own a skyline.  Although i have seen a few around.

I moved here about 3 months ago from Newcastle and have been pretty much flat out with work since i got here.  

My 33 has been in need of a service for a while and Im after any info of where to take it around my area.

Thanks

for a cheap yet thorough service, i can HIGHLY recommend:

highpoint automotive

obviously located at highpoint shopping centre (maribrynong)

across the road at the end of white street

ph 9318 2076

guy who runs it is Paul and is a friend of the family. he is a very good mechanic and doesn't charge and arm+leg like the more fancied places

obviously if you are after a dyno tune then this is not your place, but for any kind of service or repair, you can't go wrong...

tell him that Warren with the Blue skyline recommended you

:cheers:

when i had my NA 33 i took it to nissan in melton for a full service (im from bacchus marsh), wouldn't really recommend them, i could have done the same job myself.

about to do the next stage for my gtst and will be taking it into someone who has decent knowledge, rather than someone who is close to me.

i really think it is worth travelling for the peace of mind.

yea cept it has dark tint, a korn sticker and VIC plates now.

There is actually an identical 33 in Melton but it has 5 stud wheels.

I have the identical car as yours lol. With standard rims and tinted windows parked @ the pub on High street I think. :) I had my badges ripped off when I parked @ the back of my work place =/

Yep thats the one.

What a coincidence.

You might have seen my car parked down the road outside dominos lately...?

Thats where i work.

We do our own servicing as a general rule but if I was going to take our cars anywhere it would be to see Nick @ the pit stop oil change on Pascoe Vale Rd.. one of our good friends, honest, owns a 32 of his own, knows what hes talking about.. :) he's helped us put on exhausts and a whole bunch of other stuff. Saturday is a good day to go there..

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
