going to give my car a little...

[inark]

servicing this weekend...

oil change (hasnt been changed since i had it and i doubt they did it for compliance so well over 6000kms)

oil filter (recommended one for an R32 GTST??)

gearbox fluid

coolant

so far from the oil thread it looks like 5w-50 Shell Ultra? this should be ok for my GTST shouldnt it? or was that for the GTR? or doesnt it matter?

how often does the gearbox fluid need to be changed?

what coolants do u guys use?

anything else i should do?

[uLa32]

gearbox, rear diff, power steering, radiator and brake fluid if you can. so you have peace of mind that youve done it already.

[inark]

what coolant shall i use?

make that...

brand me baby!! with all the things mentioned. (nothing too expensive its not a show/drag car )

[meggala]

inark just use an anti freexe anti boil cooant no specific brand pre mixed is better I use bp oil had no problems with them. you will notice better performance with the fresh oil and you should do it every 5-8000 klms the turbo;s break down the oil quicker.

i dunno *shrugs*.... what you think i am some skyline driver

i guess all coolants work the same? maybe ones with well known brands? etc...... as for all the oils, just match viscosities and oil types and your sweet i guess. for brake fluid i got the motul dot 5.1 from racebrakes. half litre for $20 i think... original dot rating is 3.

g/box oil i used castrol vmx-80

rear diff original is 80w-90

power steering i used castrol transmax Z

thats the stuff i used... i thought i was gonna do the gearbox and diffs, etc myself... got under the car... freaking no way... too hard... got my dad's mate/mechanic to do it.

[inark]

what about the oil filter?? what one and where?

[uLa32]

z145a any will do... ryco, original nissan, valvoline. i found that you change oil too frequently before oil filters become a problem so yeah...

where you say? get an oil filter from albury autobarn... guaranteed 100+kw at wheels (even the steering wheel!)

[inark]

full shik!! i'll get 4.... one for each of my turbos

Watch out what brand/type of anti freeze you use.

Some anti freeze stuff have rust inhabitors in them and if you mix to different types together it will actually clog up your radiator !!!

Have a read on the ARE site www.are.com.au and have a look at some of their horror pics... Not good.

If your going to do it, flush the crap out of it with a one of those radiator flush things..
