how much you pay for it? i paid 2k for my pulsar and its mint with only 150k's on it.

if we talking a $100 rolla seems a bit silly your gonna spend $1000 on replacing every fluid in it. i know ppl that havnt done 1 oil change in pretty much new cars and driven for like 100k and it still seems to go. just do the basics keep it simple and replace the mofo in the unlikely event it breaks.

even if you do all that replacing it can still f up on you, old cars are old cars. last owner was prob doing key bangers in it.

i paid 900 for her, and the interior is mint as, needs a good clean, but overall its been looked after. and i got a mate who is a mechanic that has said he will help me do the fluid changes and timing belt etc for me for free :)

i dont think ive ever changed the oil in the magna. just topped it up every now and then. only engine failure its experienced was due to the fact that it had more mileage than most dailys on this site combined. current engine is reasonably new (only 200,000k), and itll be getting the same treatment, check dipstick every 6 months, top up as required.

you could just use the old oil from the 14 dave.

hahah, i would, but i think itd be too light for the old magna.

still be better than the slop i top it up with though. and probably good for another 15,000k...

... but it just doesnt seem right, putting motul 300v in a magna, even if it is old oil.

u do realize alot of people do that cara :) prob still better than most cheap dailys get treated.

naturally it being car ppl on here they would treat cars a bit better than most and do the full treatment on the pride n joy. but the average daily you buy from some stranger prob hasnt had an oil change since it rolled off the production line. although im sure the owner told you it did every 10,000

yeah they would tell you whatever you want to hear anyway :D i have little trust in people.

deff do an oil change, and the rest just look at how much its going to cost and dont go overboard like you do with the 34 :)

o and im not sure when uni n stuff is ending so ill come down to kadina if im not doing much but wont enter

probably doesnt have a service history. but 4ac's are worth about a 6 pack of beer, if you get it from somewhere expensive. really not worth spending mass dollars on (ie, more than a 6 pack of beer for every service).

fill it with cheap castrol oil, replace the trans fluid if you really think you have to. the only fluid id worry about is brake fluid.

yeah, 6 packs are the new yard sticks.

be about 60 cartons if you can find a cheapie. install will be about the same. hope youve got a van.

youre crazy dan. takes a special kind of driver to be able to properly utilise the awesomeness that is an sr20det.

Edited by scandyflick

Dan, leave the 34 out of this will ya

i just like to know wtf is going on with the car, and know what is in it. she runs well, no issues with that, brakes alright too, but would rather spend a few dollars making sure i know whats in it and basicalyl having to create my owns ervice history for her

seriously, its a daily. 2 6 packs for fresh oil, air filter, and oil filter. add another 6 pack if you wanna do plugs. if you spend more than that, well...

... it is a daily you know.

i heard it was short for sr20detonate :D

just saying if a car is worth something and will be in the future you look after it, if you buy a disposable car. you run it till it dies and dispose of it :)

car park here is full of disposables hence why they dont understand when i talk about the gtr

yeah, nissan really missed the mark with their engine coding.

ca18detonate

sr20detonate

rb20detonate

rb25detonate

and rb26dettonate, which is kinda the same, but costs 3x more to fix.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
