just a little tip, if you're doing the major service DEFINATELY change the water pump. You can get away with using a stock rb30 pump (get one from coventrys), you just need to silicon up one hole. I've seen 5 rb25s waterpumps all fail at the magical 140000km mark, and to replace it you have to undo all your hard work, so whilst the belts are off you might as well.

Hi Guys,

A bit off topic. I've just got my 34 last February/March. It went thru compliance etc and up till now i've yet to service it. You guys reckon should i do anything to it - i.e. change oil filter, fuel filter, etc on that day?

Mostly gonna be coming to the venue just to catch up and observe : D

Do you know what type of oil filter to use?

Ryco Z145A would be the filter you would use.

In regards to the water pump, its totally up to you... if you want to another 40 000kms or so out of it then there is no need to do it.

Some poeple think its worth it, other dont.

Yeh, the Z145A is the oil filter, Repco is farely decent as well.

If you guys want, I might be able to get all the parts cheap from work. But I'll need a list of everything by Tuesday so I can ask.

And Hotchoc, its definately worth changing the oil. I might service mine on the day as well, may as well!

Hey mate,

If that's the case, count me in for the Z145A oil filter. Any idea how much it's gonna be ? I already bought a Motul oil so all should be fine. What else do you guys reckon i should check for?

Full service, you check EVERYTHING!! I do it for a living, so I dont mind chucking it up on stands and having a look. Look for any leaks, colour of the fluids, all the levels, check your brakes and tyres, diff and gear box oil, just about everything really.

So thats 2 oil filters so far. Anyone else need anything?

What car do you have mate?

k i got quoted from a friend at nissan today... $418... that gives you, timing belt, water pump, all seals and all bearings... is this good or bad... i was going to get it for $360 but seems prices have gone up... must be the oil in the bearings making it jump!!...lol

F#$king price rise on everything gives me the shits!... wheres my payrise!!!!!!!

Hey mate, what about Trust oil filter? My mate reckons Trust oil filters are pretty alright -$25 from Vision R from memory. He didn't have a pleasant experience with the Ryco ones. Last time i heard, the Ryco rubber broke right after he changed his oil and his garage ended up with oil, wasn't a pretty sight : D

Crivens!

Well, I would go the gates kit over the std Nissan one anyway, and it is a shizen load cheaper too. $260 with a power grip belt and $380 for the Racing belt, but you don't get a water pump (you get everything else you listed apart from the bearings?)

Exactly what "bearings" are you reffering to?

If it's put on properly it's not goin anywhere Teo. Like I told you before Ryco is more than good enough.

Edit: Don't forget to change your plugs.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
