Places to get Skyline Serviced


Recommended Posts

Guest Lojikl

Howdy all,

I have been getting my GTST (and my old 180SX) serviced by a friend (mates rates 'n all) up in Osborne Park for a while now.

Problem is its damn far from where I live now, can anyone reccomend some places around the Vic Park/Bentley area that are good to get imports serviced at reasonable prices.

Cheers,

C-red is also a performance house - their website is on the net somewhere and Jeff Ash whos owns it comes on the forum every now and them under - GTAAH so u might want to ask him but they have a really good rep and they are close to where you are.

Yeh i must admit i was a bit uneasy when i did my first oil change. But for the amount u save its definately worth it.

Waht exactly get done in a big service??

as far as i know its just, oil, filter, check timing, gear/diff oil, and if its a big 1 fuel filter.

The best way to find if something is broke is to break it and fix it later. No point replacing something that had 6 mnths left in it anyway.

i just bought one from nissan when i bought the iridiums cos i was feeling lazy

hehe

$90 for the plugs and filter i thought that was okay, but i am not forking for those plugs again,

how much are the plug gapping tools??

cos i got a cooler getting picked up tomorrow and i bought a bleed valve and the exhaust is sorted so i am hearing i should be getting the plugs gapped differently

can the iridiums be gapped differently??

dont buy expensive plugs, just buy cheaper ones more often, change them with your oil.

One thing to make sure is that you get the right oil grade if you take it somewhere like a local shop, i think most cars take 20W50, and it should be 10W40 or something, correct me if im wrong, but its something like that.

nothing wrong with ryco filters...

Except that genuine Nissan filters are cheaper (suprisingly). and presumably made by an oem that has good quality assurance procedures in place. Toyota oil filters are also cheaper than Ryco equivalents.

NO_RSPECT, how much for the plugs alone? Cheapest I found for NGK Iridiums was $15.50ea from Auto One Cannington, so sounds like you got a good price.

deesh, changing plugs on a stock plenum'd RB25 every oil change would get tedious very, very quickly ;) Damn that cross over pipe.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
