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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
