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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
