Hi all,

I'm about to purchase a R34 GTt, which has done about 114,000kms or thereabouts. I'm unsure about the service history, so i thought it'd be safe just to give it a major service.

So where do you guys recommend? I've heard boostworks is alright.. can anyone confirm/deny this?

Also second part of my question... for the major service i've listed things I wanted changed

* Timing belt

* Water pump

* All fluids

* Plugs

Anything else that I might be missing? Brakes I know have been done recently. Can you give me an estimate of what that might cost?

Thank you all very much,

Thanks

Thanks guys that's pretty good.

Just spoken to shaun from Boostworx. Mentioned that I heard about him from varous car clubs. And he was genuinely helpful.

He's given me the following quote for a major service

$170 water pump

$95 timing belt

$240 labour

$77 service / safety

$65 oil

$140 redline diff + tranny service

$55 coolant

$145 dyno tune

$140 platinum plugs

But would do it for about $1000.

What do you reckon?

Well when you add up all those figures it comes to more than $1100...... So it's sounds like a good deal to me!

Ring a couple of others like Tilbrooks and Graham West and compare, I have in the past and Shaun beat them hands down, so all my work goes thru Shaun, even mates of mine!

Okay, even if Tilbrook is about the same price as Boostworks i'd still take it to boostworks. I've had some major work done on my previous ride at Tilly's ... i won't say anymore and leave it as that. :

Thanks for all your input guys, much appreciated.

Edited: spelling.

I believe he is generally open on Saturday mornings, Prob until about 12-1ish!

Thanks again. I'll have a chat to him... sounds like Boostworks is to Skyline owners what S&J are to WRX owners.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 2 years later!

      Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum

      The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding

      Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.

      Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
