Time For A Service And Tune

[Haysey]

The ol girl is starting to have a real petrol whiff after i give it, more than normal......

If im looking to take it to my mechanic for a full service and tune wat will he do? reason asking is how much of it can i do at home?

Oil and filer easy...

Coolant, take off hose and drain, put hose in top and wash out then attach hose and refill,

gearbox and diff oil, no way without special filler tools,

tune? no idea

little help please

thanks

As GTST said, you arent going to be 'tuning' anything.

Has the car had its 100k major service?

As for the fuel smell, this is commonly caused by a bad seal around the fuel filler neck, something most workshops can fit for you quite easily. That said it could also be a number of other things!

ive got an aftermarket chip in the thing so dont know if that can be tuned as such.......

spoke to my mechanic today and told him about the weird noises ive been hearing.... i put my head to the engine today to wat sounded like a slipping belt but it was actually the CAM screeching....

I put in TURBO LIGHT oil last time i did a change (under 5k ago) and he says that oil is shit for skylines, the oil is so thin and black already too! aparently DOODZ put the same oil in and his engine was knocking!!!!!!!!!!

So im guna go tomorrow and get some nice thick oil put in, coolant changed, gearbox and diff and just a general service.... she will be much better after that....

Dont use turbo light oil in your skyline!

the chipped ecu can't be retuned on the fly.

it needs to have a new chip burnt so to speak.

turbo light worked fine on my previous skyline.

there are 2 types.

4100 and another ...

gearbox and diff oil, no way without special filler tools,

the "special filler tool" is ~$5 from any auto parts shop

Changing both gear and diff oil is a piece of piss, check the thread by Genesis in the DIY section for instructions on changing gearbox oil

you could try resetting your computer. you do this by disconnecting your battery - do a search for more info.
