Ultratune 100,000km Service

[Godzilla32]

Aggreed, any competant workshop can work on your skyline. If its just maintenance your after there is no problem taking it to a reputable general service centre. if there is something you want them to take extra notice of or are unsure they will be familiar with, then make a note of it to them.

By the way, to the guy that said dont let an apprentice work on your car...Im an apprentice and if you have seen my thread you will know im currently rebuilding my GTR ground up!

Godzilla32,

You are an exception. Generally speaking apprentices are crapo and I sure as hell know I wouldn't want one working on mine.

But no one works on mine anyway. lol I do.

i dont have a problem with an apprentice working on my car just as long as they are supervised as all apprentices should be. speaking as a qualified trademan as i used to be an apprentice and i have an apprentice under me at work. apprentices can be good workers, with the right mind for the job and the right qualified people working above them.

if you dont like the idea of an apprentice working on your car, talk to the mechanic. simply request that the most experienced person do the job

Yeah im the same, im not liking the idea of having to hand over my rebuilt car to a workshop to tune it one day. Was kinda hoping to strike up a friendship with someone who can that perhaps i could help?!?

Hehe, sure thing mate, i'll at least lend you a hand. Give me a call.

Anyone know of someone they can recommend for a 100,000km service on the gold coast for a R33gts-t skyline?

Why the n1 water pump, do you do track days?Still no timing belt tensioner stud?Unless you have experience with a particular mechanic, there is little way of knowing what sort of job that is going to be done, all mechanics have things stuff up, whether its their fault or not, and theres plenty of apprentices who can kick a tradesman up the arse. When i was a second year apprentice, i was asked by two qualified mech's if i could put the ignition leads on their cars after doing a head gasket as they didn't know how to figure out which way they went, and one of them topped his class at tech, i find a good percentage of dealership mechanics have poor ability, but i dont have to trust my car to anyone.

Hey Everyone,

I have decided not to go to Ultratune...found a quite reputable performance shop with a dyno (still cant believe it) here on the Sunshine Coast....I am spending at neat $1400 cash today on the below items...plus they a tuning it on a dyno (excited), my very first one....

Timing Belt & Bearings

Belt tensioner Pulley

Idler pulley

Spark Plugs

Ancillary belts (alternator, water pump and the like)

Auto Transmission Fluid

Nissan N1 water pump

Check Engine Mounts

Radiator Flush

Cam Seals

Crank Seal

Break Fluid

Power Steering Fluid

Injector Clean

Check Hoses

Chuck her on the Dyno.............

Total = $1400 neat...may be a little less when i go to pay....

Cant wait to have it running better again.

A lot of the items you are having done can be done by you too. A radiator flush for example is a 30 minute job in the garage (even the brake fluid change isnt that hard, just takes two people to do the good old pedal pumping ). Personally I would do those sorts of things myself, and then take it to a GTR expert to do the major things like the pulleys, injector clean, and belts.
