MAJOR SERVICE MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST

hi R33..

ummm...seems like a lot of 'checks' there mate......maybe the word 'check' would be better replaced with the word 'replace' or 're-new', considering a 'major service'???

Not being smart, just a little curious...

Spit.

Looks fine to me.

Check clutch condition, wouldn't make sense if it said Replace clutch condition. Not being smart....

umm...definate consumables?..ie.belts?, coolant?, plugs?..etc etc..????....is what I was getting at.

C'mon...give me a break!!..it's a MAJOR service being performed here, or is it one of those K-Mart Auto 140 dollar checklists??

Still not being smart though!!!...lol!

SuperSpit to check/replace/renew sense of humour?....check!

Regards,

Spit.

Ill fix it up. I think im missing something, please go over it and let me know.

Hi R33,

Good changes, well done.

Now, that's what I call a check list for a major service on our beautiful cars!!

Well done mate!..I'm printing one off as I write!!

Regards,

Spit.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
