Been a 4th year apprentice and working weekends at an Auto 1 makes seriving my R33 series II quite cheap. But if you are paying $250 for an oil and filter change, spark plugs, a rotate and balance and an alignment as well as a general check over then thats not to bad, especially if that includes parts. Doing the plugs on the r33 is time consuming compared to most straight 6 engines and just roatating and balancing wheels with an alignment takes time.

I generally do an Oil and filter change, Fuel filter, plugs and a general checkover for people i know with skylines for about $90 plus parts. I wont do skylines that are slammed on the ground any more though, that is just way to hard, esspecially since i just do them in a workspace at home. Working with a hoist is much easier.

Anyway, point been, $250 isnt overly expensive.

Hi there,

I've just bought a 1996 r33 skyline as well...and I've booked in a major service at BD4's at Gladesville which will include changing timing belt, all the usual checks, tuning, lubrication etc top to bottom check.....they quoted me $800 - $1000.

Is this steep considering BD4's has a pretty good reputation.???????

Sik, everyones here to help but Mac does seem to have a bit of an attitude, even towards people who are only trying to give him the info he is asking for ...

... as for being constructive, try using a spell checker next time champ and lets keep the expletives to a minimum.

Jimbo what are you on about mate??

First of all you came on this thread and told me to chill without knowing what went on.. There was a very unnecessary post put up which was taken down by a moderator... Thats why i was a little angry, cause my question got made into a joke...

I need and want info... and if you look at all my posts im thankful to people that give it to me...

And also what "expletives" are you talking about?

I wanna hear what you have to say Jimbo, cause u also have a series 2... i just dont take to people very well when they start to patronize me...

If threads are removed or edited by a mod, edit your posts accordingly. You can understand how someone viewing the thread for the first time would be confused if they only saw you attacking someone for no good reason (due to the post being removed).

As for expletives you may wish to direct your attention to the post I was replying to which was Sik's, not your own.

/insert waiver - no patronizm intended.

Is there any other information you're after at the moment ?

Actually jimbo i wasnt attacking anyone in the thread, i was pointing out the fact that my question was simple, and it was turned into a joke.... Therefore i think your wrong when u say i was "attacking" someone...

im new to this forum, so i didnt even realise the post was taken away... Therefore i didnt know wether to edit mine. i guess out of all the guys in the forum, u took it upon your self to assume im in the wrong and for me to take a "chill pill"..

Also when people say for no reason, quote - "Mac does seem to have a bit of an attitude, even towards people who are only trying to give him the info he is asking for ". It doesnt sit very well with me. Cause it is completely wrong. I thank people all the time who have helped me..

I dont have any questions atm.

cheers anyway...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
