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 havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • 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.
