My R34 gt-t coupe needs some maintenance work done. It's done 90k klms

i need

1) The timing belt changed quickly. been quoted round $600

2) New windshield installed

3) And possibly new coilpacks

I've been getting different quotes from most places.. any ideas roughly how much i should be paying for each of these...

Also 100kms service is coming up, what should i be looking at? Some places charge a lot but do a tonne of unnecessary work..

thanks CT

Transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, diff oil, fuel filter, air filter, oil filter. The more of this you can do on your own obviously the better. optionally have a power run and check your a/f ratios.

As above get the water pump done while the belt's off.

I paid a lot more than $600 to get mine changed - I did get the idler pulley etc changed at the same time - there was about $450 in parts from memory. $600 sounds fine. Agree you should change the water pump also.

I got my all my belts and water pump changed for $400.

I think $600 is a big quote, but if they do it correctly and are well known for the competence, why not.

You get what you pay for, sometimes yuo get a bargain, but most of the time they are hard to come by.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
