Is this about right.. i got a quote for the 100xxx service on my gtr and nearly fell over when i got the quote back of $1200...

Using genuine parts, the timing belt and water pump change, coolant flush. Redline shock proof gear oil for the gear box, Transfer case oil change, Atessa flush, Diff oil synthetic, Brake flush with dot 5 fluid and Clutch flush, Power steer flush.

$1200?

where did you get that quote from....wont surprise me because it does take a lot of labor time doing the water pump and timing belt change....plus your using the good fluids so they will cost a bit of dosh....give a few other places a call and see how they give you a quote on doing the same things

Thats unbelievable.. I think i'd cry spending so much on a service.

In the past I've always done the work myself. But with slightly less quality oil that what it looks like you have gone with.

$090 - cambelt

$085 - waterpump

$180 - tensioners

$65 - Motor oil

$14 - oil filter

$90 - g/box oil

$70 - diff oil

$30 - brake/clutch fluid flush.

------

$624

GTR = just that little bit more expensive. :)

hey joel how much can u get the tensioners for i can get a gates timing belt 4 $140 IS THIS THE SAME BRAND U get also could u pm me with the address of ur work so i can check it out :(

I bought a Genuine Nissan cam belt for $90.

The tensioners are $80 each from holden then u can reco them for $40 (2 bearings inside so 2x20) if you have a press.

I grab the NSK bearings as used in the genuine nissan tensioners from some bearing company. Its not CBC as they want stupid prices for the bearings and are not genuine NSK.

I don't bother with an idler as they are stupidly priced; so 2 tensioners it is. + the tensioners are locking tensioners so just as good as an idler once nipped up.

The dayco cam belt for the rb30det is $38. Its done a little over 70,000km's and still looks ok. Nearing time for another service though. :(

wow how is the water pump so cheap? I am about to buy one for my R34 and Nissan price is $227.45 and Kudos motorsport (which I was told would be cheapest) is $238.00.

The water pump is aftermarket from repco/motormates/sprint auto's. There is a cheaper one (-$10) and it doesn't come with a gasket, I go the better one. I've never had issues with them and this one has been good with no leaks at 70,000km's so far. The old rb20 did around 100,000km's and the aftermarket pump still looked fine.

Unless you are 7000rpm+ (n1 water pump) all the time I don't really see a need for a genuine water pump.

Some things like clutch master/slave cylinders etc its definitely worth going genuine.

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
