Go the ryco!

Go the 4000Km service if boosted!

Go the copper $3 plugs

Go the C-RED workshop for a service....lol not! Thatl be $500 please....chuckchiiiing

Lojikl Ill do your service for you I need the money

[hks-s14]

Macka, I know many people that have had servicing done at c-red...and they repeatedly go there. None of them have been charged $500 for a service.

$150 ish (more than likely less) would be around the price

[adam 32]

still more expensive than backyard

$10 oil filter

$40 oil

$3x6 = $18 for plugs

thats a FULL service for $68. done

The BOV doesn't give me too much trouble. Its the throttle body to crossover join that I don't like.

No im sure alot of ppl do get their services done at a performance shop....gives them piece of mind that something is done properly.

That price i pulled out of my ass if u hadnt noticed, of course its not going to be that much. Twas just an example.

:jump:

Yeah im cheaper than your mechanic for your dads Vn Dunnydore

So who needs their car serviced :alien:

[hks-s14]

No worries Macka - just wanted to clarify to those out there who didn't know that you were pulling a figure out of your a$$ that C-Red do not charge $500 for a service.

Hell, if any workshop charged that for a regular service, I would be walking out the door and never returning again!

[caminperth]

Is there anyone on here who will recommend somewhere other than c-red? Personal experience tells me some places cause too much hassle and agro.

I'm looking for somewhere to do a major service on my R33. As in cam belt and a general check of everything - including diff. Any takers?

And before you mention back yard - I have little spare time, the time I do have I want to spend driving my toy hard - I just want somewhere that is reliable, tells the truth and is easy to deal with..

Yeah i have no idea what they charge but im sure they (and others) charge alot because of the cars they are dealing with and basically its a performance car so u can pay the performance price.

There are a few guys on here who know R33s and 32s for that matter back to front and Im sure ppl dont need to take their cars to a performance workshop just to get their service done.

Its not a dynotune.

caminperth - everyone had their variating differences in who they recommend servicing and tuning their car. Ive tried a couple of different places thru the time ive had the ZX and Skyline and the guy that currently services my skyline is the one thats probably standed out the most. West Racing Motor Development - i know a lot people think he's a trev round here and probably right but he still knows his stuff when it comes to imports ive seen a couple of Lines he's worked on and they have really impressed me even gets sent up to Jakata to specially tune a GTR. He always has time to make sure im fully up to date and whats happening with the car and ive found him to be very thorough in what he does. Also uses only redline oils etc if your a redline fan

[caminperth]

Thanks for the info Niz, I'll check it out..

Anybody else got recommendations?

[C-Red]

First off Macka you can get f**ked You'll be the first person I charge 500 bucks for an oil change for sprouting crap like that.

Nothing wrong with Ryco filters, but some of the Genuine Nissan elements were getting made in Thailand hence they are cheap, make of that what you will. We generally use Nippon Micro Oil Filters (As do SST and Per4manz; Nippon Micro make the Japanese OEM Nissan Elements) at around 7 bucks a pop. We generally use Pennzoil 10W-40 Semi Synth at around 30 bucks a tub. A normal oil change is 120-130 but included in that is a full inspection and report and we generally fix up any little issues that you might have. Full services range in price depending on what you want changed and whether it includes a cam belt or not.

Cheap (Read Non Platinum) Plugs will cause any late Nissan motor to run like crap so you are best of coughing up for Iridiums safe in the knowledge they will last and run properly.

How do we get our hands on Nippon Micro oil filters? Through a specific Nissan service dept?

[hks-s14]

Through c-red/filter supplies - AFAIK, they are the only Nippon Micro dealer in Perth.
