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.

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
