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!! :D

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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
