Hi Guys,

Its time for the major :woot:. I have gone through millions of post/threads and i just want to ensure i got everything.

Feel free to add or give suggestions on parts. Also, just an estimate on what you guys think a mechanic would charge to do each item.

I will be doing most of the basic stuff myself, but when it comes to water pumps and timing belts - forget it haha.

'94 R33 GTS-T S1 (RB25DET)

Timing belt

Water pump

Cam Seals

Crank Seal

Belt tensioner Pulley

Idler pulley

Spark Plugs

Diff Oil

Gear Box Oil

Engine Oil

Break Fluid

Power Steering Fluid

Coolant

Coolant flush

Injector Clean

Oil Filter

Fuel Filter

All Belts

Hoses

Fuel Pump

Wheel Allign

Ill also be doing the breaks, and have noted other things with majors. Im just really concerned what needs to go on under the hood.

Anything I forgot?

Cheers,

Steve.

tyre pressures

inspect all boots and bushes, suspension components, steering rack etc for loose bolts / wearing / leaking / play

check for oil leaks

check tyre pressures & tread depth

check brake pad thickness and rotor thickness

air filter

check all lights etc.

if you're changing water pump and sh1t, may as well change thermostat

alot of the stuff you mentioned only needs checking, like i wouldn't bother replacing most of the hoses unless they are showing signs of wearing, i wouldn't bother changing powersteering fluid, i wouldn't do timing belt etc. unless it's been 100,000kms since last done

i'm assuming you're doing a 100,000km service? timing belt/waterpump/oil seals/pully's are all pretty major, but i can see your logic if you're going to do the timing belt, may as well do all the other things you'll have access to while you're at it. If the timing belt has been done less than 100,000kms ago, i wouldn't worry about the above stuff.

I had the timing belt done the other day simply because i dont know the history of my car, and i dont trust the odometer.

Turns out the belt wasnt that badly worn, she had lots of life left in here... but boy did i sleep better last night.

Just do everything while your at it, saves the shit fight of having to come back in 2000km's to do the waterpump if you dont do it now and it farks out on you.

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz
    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
