Hi guys! Man, long time no see for all u guys. I been gone for quite a while. Good to be back tho B)

My R33 has finally reached the age of 100,000 kms now and so its time for a major service. I know there is a thread about this major service and I read it, but I was hoping for VICTORIAN experiences with this major service.

- What was done (other than timing belt)?

- Who did u go with?

- What was the cost?

- Any other problems that needed addressing during or after?

Any posts appreciated. Thanks all!!

BTW, this is the list of tasks that the 100,000km service thread mentioned (I'm scared of the bill!!):

New Iridium Spark Plugs.

Water Pump.

Thermostat

Cam belt

Drive belts.

Oil Filter

Fuel Filter

Check cam and crank seals for leaks usually OK and extra if seals required

Check cam belt pullies

All electricals, exhaust, suspension. Coolant and hoses.

Gear oil 75w- 90 or auto trans service.

Engine, gearbox and power steering get Uniglide treatment.

Clutch and brake fluid flushed and bleed.

Radiator and engine flush.

Clean and treat battery terminals.

Clean terminals to injector plugs, ignition coils.

Compression test.

Spray lubricant on throttle linkages and other.

Adjust water sprayers and additive used

Lubricate door hinges and strikers, bonnet latch, boot hinges, aerial mast.

Check and tighten sub frame and suspension and cross member bolts etc.

Tyre pressures checked and corrected.

Air filter replaced or if performance filters cleaned and re oiled.

Check list for our technicians and report given.

ice performance

timing belt and 100k service

all fuilds, plugs, check brakes, check suspension

brake pads/rotors were fine + bushes to be done at 140 ish

most performance places that i can think of wont touch

Water Pump.

Thermostat

Cam belt

Drive belts.

Clean and treat battery terminals.

Clean terminals to injector plugs, ignition coils.

Adjust water sprayers and additive used

Lubricate door hinges and strikers, bonnet latch, boot hinges, aerial mast.

Tyre pressures checked and corrected.

Air filter replaced or if performance filters cleaned and re oiled.

Check list for our technicians and report given.

the rest should be ok however

there some people who insist on replacing the water pump at 100,000

i dont see a pressing need for it, i mean why do that and not the oil pump? they are both as equally as important. unless im missing something?

the 100,000 service will cost around $600 mark ish

and the timing belt change will cost around $450 byitself

so $1200 is ballpark providing they find no major problems

do your water pump!!! i didn't do it for my 100,000k service only to find 6,000 later that it was shagged...

paul, the water pump circulates corrosive liquid so the seals tend to die at about 100k oil pumps don't corrode parts like coolant does...

i dunno about that... Gerald (ICE) regularly comes home after doing a 100k service and he changes the water pumps without a doubt.

Other stuff, if you asked, im sure they can attend to.

Just remember, some stuff can be done yourself, like cleaning battery terminals and things like that. So you save labour hours by doing it yourself.

yeah sorry i should have said its minaly due to added labour costs

i mean i would prefer they did check my engine and crap instead of looking for sqeaky door seals and so on. paying a price for a performance workshop, may as well have them look at the performance stuff instead of imho oem car stuff which any mechanic place can do.

was unaware of water pump changes at 100,000

mine wasn't done that i know of

yeah u can have everything done but its just gonna crank up the price by stacks

Adz, how long is your car going to be out of action in the garage for? Did G give u an estimate? And also a quote on the cost? or is it a 'well, we'll see when we get there' type of thing (like usual)

Okies, water pump it is. Any suggestion on spark plugs??

hey king, u could always do most of them yourself and save a fortune, things like fluids,filters sparkies r easy but timing belt is a bit tricky

my dads friend is a good mechanic + he is very cheap for us so he did my timing belt and i told him to might as well do the water pump seeing as the belt was off

instead of paying $1000+ i payed like $400 doing most of the shit myself

he is doing it himself :D

youve got rocks in your head if you dont do the idler bearings......infact if i had to sacrifice....id sacrifice the water pump for the idlers....if the idlers let go your head has to come off.........if the water pump fails you leak water and the gauge goes up and you stop driving.......but id be doing both

yep, gotta do those idlers too if not already done

I think they are every 80,000 (or 70,000) arent they?

I had one let go many years ago. $1500 later as it smashed all 24 valves to bits, then the motor ate those yummt bits, and so the story went

wow...i would like to know where i could get the following parts for $400...

timing belt,both tensioners,plugs,cam seals,crank seal,waterpump,thermostat,tesioner stud,fuel filter,oil filter,engine oil,coolant,gearbox oil,diff oil,3 drive belts and the o2 sensor....any heads up?

Doin mine this Sat mate, will let you know how I go :)

I'm doing all seals, all belts including cam, water pump (becuase it's east to get to when doign the cam belt), O2 sensor (why not while I'm at it), all fluids, plugs etc...

Fun job wasn't it :O

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
