Service Costs?

[93_GTR]

Hi All

My name is Ron

Im new to this GTR thing and have a few questions to ask.

Firstly i have recently purchased a 93 R32 GTR and a PFC D-Jetro (thanks to Slide)

I was just wondering what would the costs be for -

1: to install and tune the PFC

2: to do a full service just to make sure everything is ok (as in change all fluids, belts, pumps?? )

and any other things that i should have looked at while its in the shop.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

Depending on whether your north or south.

NOR : HyperDrive

SOR: Xspeed - do alot of De Jetro's

Hey Ron!

and welcome to SAU and SAUWA

i can only help with my question;

1: to install and tune the PFC

-im not sure about the cost of installing the PFC. But tuning should be between $400-$600 for your 1st tune.

Best to give some of the workshops around perth and call and they will be able to quote you up.

Check out the The Consolidated Workshop thread

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=141454

for a list of workshops NOR and SOR.

My personal recommendation for NOR is Hyperdrive (for tuning/services etc)

A full service, replacing water pump etc will be very expensive, and may not need doing if the timing belt has already been done

And welcome

very true paul. if i remember right Full Major Service is between $600 and $1000 (inc timing belt, water pump etc)

For a simple oil change in a workshop (eg XSpeed) you're looking at $180-$217 depending on the quality of oil used.

GT-R, go for the $217 one. They will also give you a report on what work may need to be done and the general overall condition of your car.

May sound like a lot, but it costs me $100 minimum to do my own oil changes, ~$90 for Mobil1 and $10 for a genuine Nissan Oil filter.

And if you want to know the condition of your engine you can get them to do a leakdown test, which will check compression of the engine etc.

im due for my big service now, going to in tune performance, located in bibra lakes SOR, getting timing belt changed, all fan belts changed, coolant replaced, oil replaced, safc dyno tuned, walbro fuel pump fitted. costing $800.

Pal, If there changing timing belt, then get the water pump done at the same time.

hey pal, where in bibra lake is that? i live there never seen it. Is the Walbro fuel pump included in that price or are they just puttin one you have in? i have also never seen your skyline around the area either

if youir changing the timing belt get a gates racing belt les than half the price of genuine belt and a lot better

Thanks for all the info guys.

I live south of the river in beckenham.

I was thinking about goin to Top Racing but havn't heard much about them.

Xspeed seems to be the most recommend workshop so i might pay them a visit

to see what im up for.

top racing provide good service and treat customers with respect unlike some other known shops.

plenty of people will recomend them on here

$217 oil change is a big big rip off, surely pulling a filter off and undoing a sump plug isnt worth $130, its about a 15-20 min job max. i suppose its good value if u got a 15L sump

Top racing really know their work.

Every workshop has their pros and cons. But put it this way I'm yet to find a performance shop that stand behind their tune an ensure their work. The only other place I feel can do this would be Top racing after having dealt with 2 very well known performace shops when it comes to tuning the power FC D-Jettro, both their service and tune were very very poor indeed espically after "paying for what I got".

There isnt any workshop that would gaurentee there tune because theres just to much liability

esp when the engine is pushed at its limits no one is going to gaurentee that it will hold together or not lean out

Hi all again

I think i will go to Top Racing. I gave them a call and were really helpfull.

Just have to wait till i get PFC and then im booking it in.

I will ask about a leakdown test to see what condition the engine is in to.

Once again thanks for all of the advice and recommendations.
