Hey, when I purchase the Skyline, it needs a few minor services...such as the Engine cooling system needs a service, the engine oil, minor oil seepage on turbo, + some other minors.

I dont want to take it to a servicing shop where they dont know what they are doing (with performance cars etc)

so wheres the best place to take it? Im in Central Perth area so yea, anywhere will do ;)

Also how much are we looking at?

Thanks!

p.s Ive tried search....nothing :S

Are you sure u really searched? Cause i recall this topic being covered multiple times. ;)

Giving you the benifit of the doubt, there are many many many many many places where you can get your car checked, serviced, etc.

Hyperdrive, cypher, evolution r, top racing, speeworks, etc etc etc.

Having oil on your turbo is never a good thing, it usually says your turbo is in need of a rebuild or a new turbo is in order. That'll set you back by a few grand for sure.

Don't you have friends that drive STIs and stuff? I'm sure they do service their cars, modify it, and stuff, they'd know good places to go to wouldn't they? The GTR is an awsome car, but is not that complex/complicated. Not as complicated as say, a porsche 911 turbo. So most performance shops would be able to do the necessary stuff for you.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
