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've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
