100k Service...where To Go & How Much?


Recommended Posts

I want to get the following done:

-New pads all round

-Timing Belt

-Gearbox + engine oil

-Radiator flush

-new plugs

-diagnose & fix my engine shudder at idle

-Wheel align

-tune

Extras...

-Dyno tune + power run would be nice :P

-Maybe do injector carbon clean

Would i be right in budgeting at least $1500?? If anyone could help me out with how much they paid for similar work and where they got it done it'd be great :)

At this stage i'm thinking Mercury..(from previous forums searches for good workshops).

Any input would be appreciated....

i did my 100k service at nissan wooloongabba

did timing belt, all the usual service bits

plus replaced a few gaskets and piping

replaced cracked radiator fan

i believe it was 1400 bux all up

nissan can do 4 wheel alignments as well

they wont do any tunes or dyno runs though

$1400 is pretty steep, but spose thats what you pay for when getting dealer servicing...

Thanks for the reply spooks, i'll keep them in mind :)

So noone else has any recommendations?? I dont mind if they're not a massive workshop with a flashy title, i just want honest, quality work by someone who knows their way around RB engines.

Been thinking it over and DEFINATLEY want the following

-Radiator flush

-Gearbox oil

-Timing belt + water pump (genuine only)

-Diff oil

-New pads and fluid

-New plugs

-Engine oil and filter

-Engine carbon clean

-Full wheel align and raise my coilovers by 1cm or so

-Fix my slight engine shudder at idle

Is they're anything else that should be done??

Hoping as a ballpark figure of $1500, no more..

Thanks guys, i will ring mercury and motorcafe tomorrow :(

Chaos- yer thought about doin oil, filter, pads, radiator, g'box oil myself. But my car parks under the building in a shopping centre style underground park. Dont think the rest of the tenants appreciate oil and coolant all over the place (already done this once before...) plus since i'm taking the car in for the other work, why not get it all done at once.

How would there be oil and coolant all over the place if you drop it into a catch of someform..ie bucket, oil tray.... If that really is a problem, dont you have any rellies or mates houses you could do it at?

Well what happens when u flush radiator?? Would need alot of buckets the way i do it :lol:

And dont really know alot of people down here, only one mate with a garage at his flat and he'd probably say no.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
