It has come to that time of the year where my baby needs a service. This will be first service since ive taken over, and ive got this weird 5-year warranty thingy that requires me to service my car by accredit mechanics or garages.

im gonna need some Bendix Ultimate brake pads put in as well, as my car has NO brakes left...

Just out of curiosity, who do you guys use for car servicing, and how much do they charge?

Cheers people!

Joe

Bendix pads are good but i am using it currently and it gives off a shitload of brakedust and you have to constantly clean your wheel....oohh try boostworx, turbotune if your down south or 4's and more or tilbrooks if your up north

if your north side of city, give fours n more a go, they have been doing my car for about 5 years now. Froms services, to dyno, to engine swap, to ecu tuning, they have done it all and are very good at it. Give them a call on 82602011 and have a chat to brenton or david, always very helpful.

Your '5 year warranty' isn't worth the paper it is written on. When you go to claim, they will never pay, and say it is normal wear and tear, or you have abused the car.

Service it yourself - it could not be easier.

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
