100,000km Service

[-FUZZY-]

Just after some advice.

Who here has done their 100K service, and if so what did you change, and how much did it cost you (either yourself or workshop price?)

I'm currently only a couple of thousand away, and looking at doing the following things. Is there anything lve missed that l should be looking at doing, or anything l've added that really doesn't need to be done?

-Diff oil

-Gearbox oil

-Engine oil

-Oil filter

-Fuel filter

-Idler bearings

-Cam belt

-Spark plugs

-Water and coolent

-Water pump (why not while you are there)

-Cam and crank seals

-Cleaned air filter

-Systems Check and reset memory and check all sensors and check for any fault codes.

-Tune SAFC2

-Fit 3" turbo back dump pipe up

Rough estimates l'm up for about $4-500 in parts, now most of it l can do myself, like the oils, filters, coolant, plugs, etc... but would be looking at a workshop to do the rest (pump, seals, cam belt, tuning, etc..), so should save some $$$ doing things myself.

Anyone in melb had there's done, if so where at?? (esp out east/south east)

thanks in advance!!

I was just reading all the links supplied about the 100k service in the melb section here is a link to the one in the melb section and there is also a link in this thread with even more info.

yeah that is the thread that made me ask the question in here, was seeing if there's anything different we need to look at doing that other rb owners don't have to do.

Plus l don't think there's a thread that covers this service in this area, and maybe a good reference point for those that are approaching it.

i'm staring at my 200,000km service soon. gearbox will be changed before then, i might get it done at that point.

the car has done me well, no major hassles (alternator died a while back)

As I've said in another post somewhere, I know someone with a R30 who has done over 500,000km, and has only done the regular stuff like oil, filters, belts, the odd shock absorber etc except for having to replace the injectors at about 350,000kms...

slightly different engine but i guess the principles the same. older engines do have less bits though so less bits to break. my old 71 kingswood had a 253 V8 and it was indestructable. i don't know how many times the clock had ticked over but it was a very simple engine. would this be a factor in engine life? how long does the VQ35 last? does anyone know because it's only resonably new.

personally i would suggest do the small services or the easy task yourselves and leave the hard ones to the mech. WE are paying them to do it must well let them do the hard ones

change attessa oil/fluid
