I think you'd be best getting it serviced approximately every 5,000kms as everyone suggests..

I've only done just over 3,000kms in it - but want to get some decent oils and so forth into it before the summer comes along and get it checked over.

Yours would be worth checking that the timing belt has been changed - if I lived in castle hill I would possibly pay the full amount to get an excellant service done on it. or as everyone recommends Nathan..

On a car that's done 100,000kms without any thing for you to go on you probably want someone to check over it as there can be small things that cost you alot later..

Cheers

Thats true...although there's this little plaque thing in japanese on the front of my engine which I'm guessing is the 100,000km service plaque which eased my mind a bit but I think that's a good suggestion.

Just my 2c for Grey Imports, aka Nathan. I have had my Cefiro thru the workshop a couple of times and all i can say is AWESOME!!!

Nathan is a honest bloke who will always give you the time of day!

An example is one Sat arvo, after he normally would of shut up shop my Ceffie had a issue. I called him up and was happy for me to take it down to him right then and there.....in his own time, that arvo he fixed the issue up!

Top bloke and would truely recommed him!

Actually I think you'll find its a sticker reminding you to change the belt at 100,000.

Best to change it and save an engine/

Well thought i'd give an update on the service..

Dropped my car in at Polmar yesterday morning at 8:30.. left it in Eli's hands to go over for the day while I was at work..

Got a call at about 3:00pm telling me everything was finished..

I'd asked for a Engine, Gearbox and Diff oil change.. He was kind enough not to change the Diff oil as he thought it was still fine (i didn't mind).. flushed and changed the Engine, Gearbox and Oil filter..

Overall car is running much better, oil pressure is just over 2 at idle whereas before it sat on 2.. must be the difference in the oil rating..

Cost me a bit over $140 in Labour and about $180 in parts + oils..

Goto say.. my gear box slides in smoother than a ...... in a .......

I LOVE IT!!..

anyways.. thought i'd give some feedback, appears that the car has been well looked after before I got it, no metal in the gearbox oil on the magnet and everything runs well.. so i'm a happy man

    • I'm thinking that if it is struggling to make boost....the turbo is damaged.
    • I don't know. Look at the wiring diagram?
    • You can't do a really convincing examination of either the valves or the pistons (through the plug hole) with an endoscope. You can have a look, but it is difficult to see everything.
    • I mean, if the motor stock and you have a boost leak, (like a pipe has come off etc) you will barely able to move. I don't mean "drives like a 2002 corolla" I mean barely able to move the car at *all* That gauge is (mostly) normal. I say mostly because with a stock turbo and stock everything working normally, you'll hit that green line very easily/quickly. It's not like it will only finally reach there at 5000+RPM after slowly building to it. It it *does* behave like that, then you have a leak. If it doesn't, and the boost gauge is more or less pinned there any time you're on the throttle from ~2000rpm upward, then this is normal - the cars run 7psi stock. That's right between 0 and +1KG/CM (which is 14.22psi) If it's a manual, they do 0-100 back in 1998 of about ~6.1s to 100. The autos are about 7s.  
    • I guess I just didn't think I would hear so much air movement and it being so loud, as it twice as loud as in the video above,  I understand how it works, but figured with the intake and exhaust all being connected to the air created by the turbo system, that I wouldn't hear so much of the air itself moving, as it would be going to the engine intake or out the exhaust. as far as I know I am making boost, it just doesn't feel like it is being used to increase the engine power or pull, maybe I am just expecting too much from a little 2.5L attached is the read out of my boost gauge during different stages:
