I found a few other threads but they werent very thourough, i just want to compile a complete list of what should be done, so far i can think of;

Water pump

timing belt

tension idler

spark plugs

fluid flush

oils

do other things generally get done or do you need them such as;

fuel filter

timing

seals

or are these the type of things you only fix when they're broken ?

help or input is much appreciated :blink:

Im also coming upto 100k and was about to start looking around for a list of things so this will be a big help for me :blink:

So far ive got all of the fluids, coolant, spark plugs, oil filter, still trying to find the part no for a fuel filter.

Would it be a good time to do break fluid? or is it not really needed

Yeah im up for the 100k service very soon also..

Will be doing everything listed in this thread and then some, since im prepping my car for track (turbs, brakes & weight) I will changing most of the gasket's, new pads + lines and brake fluid, cleaning out cooler.

Basically doing everything i possibly can.

^^^ On top of these items, I'd at least check the fuel filter & clean it out. It's situated in the fuel tank via a stalk on my car. Just Jap and others have a few quite often.

For race tracks, it's a good idea to check minimum width and condition of brake rotors. When at a minimum and with heavy braking, they can heat up all of a sudden (which is a bit less of a problem when it's for road use only). Brake fluids are worth changing especially if the car is left standing for periods without use, since they can absorb moisture from the air at low temps.

Check bushes, drive shaft boots too.

Cheers, T

100,000 K's, it's one of the big ones.

So change,

Oil

Oil filter

Air filter / Clean pods

Fuel filter

Battery (If you think is getting old)

Radiator Coolent Flush

Brake pads / Machine Disks (If worn)

Timing Belts / Fan Belts

Spark Plugs

Check all your tyres (Change if worn)

Gear Box oil (If had not been done)

Check under the car / drivetrain

And do the genaral service look over.

Thats mostly what I can think of.

I'm also coming up to my 100,000kms service.

Have been told timing belt, tensioner, tensioner bearing, water pump, coolant flush and at another place some other things too.

Any mechanics out there who feel like throwing a quote with parts and labour included would be absolute legends.

God like in fact :D

Changing the timing belt would probley cost $300 $400 tops. Give or take (Approx)

If you do it yourself, make sure you put the belt on correctly and must be aligned perfect. Other wise you can alter the timing and your car will be out of wack = loss of power and car runs shit.

I was not there to see him change it, otherwise I could tell you what to do.

No need to change your cam gears. Only do that it you want to race the car and/or adjust the angles of the cams open and closing.

for those of you who are saying should the fuel filter be changed at the 100k service.... well i hope you change it atleast every 20k.

some other things to consider...

Engine oil

Oil filter

Diff oil

G/box oil

Wheel bearings

Radiator coolant

Water pump

Thermostat

Air filter

Timing belt

Spark plugs

Brake fluid

Clutch fluid

    • Plazmaman 76mm Pro Series, done. Data to back it up, I posted up somewhere here a few years back
    • So.....wire it up appropriately. You can't use the resister pack with those injectors anyway.
    • that’s the thing i’m on ID1050s and haltech not getting power due to the injector resistor 
    • ahh okay cheers, i was thinking of just going for the m073, think m079 would be way too overkill considering they are same size. 
    • My first car was a HG. I'm very familiar with them. A mild cam upgrade is a good idea. The 186 is a very flexible engine - meaning it has good torque from down low. You can give up a little torque down low for quite a lot more excitement in the mid range, and a bit more up top - but they are not exactly a rev monster. You need to upgrade valve springs at the minimum. For a bigger cam, you'd want to make sure it wasn't still running the original fibre cam gear. That would be unlikely, given that most of them shat themselves in the 70s and 80s, but still within the realms of possibility. Metal cam gear required. Carbies are a huge issue. The classic upgrade was always a Holley 350, which works, but is usually pretty bad for fuel consumption. The 186S had a 2 barrel Stromberg on it that was very similar to the one on the 253, and is a reasonable thing if you can find one, and find someone to help you get it set up (which is the same issue with setting up a 350 to work nice). The more classic upgrade was twin sidedraught CD type carbs, or triples of same, or triple Webers. The XU-1 triple Webers being the best example. You can still buy all this stuff new, I think, but it's a lot of coin to drop. And then the people able to set them up are getting fewer and further in between. There's still some, but it used to be everyone's** dad and uncle could do it. **Not everyone's! But a lot. All in all, I wouldn't get too carried away with the engine. Anything you do to it without a full rebuild for power and revs will only make it slightly faster. I am all in favour of a complete teardown rebuild, with nice rods and pistons, 10 or 10.5:1 compression, and a clean port job with at least a big enough cam to run 98 with that compression, if not bigger. And if I did that to a dirty old red motor, I'd want to inject it too, which I'd struggle to fight against the devil on my shoulder that would argue for ITBs and trumpets. But the bills would start to mount up, and it will still never make stupid power. OK, a few people still know how to build absolutely mental red motors, courtesy of the work that went into HQ racing and modern knowledge being applied. But even a 300HP red motor is no match for an RB20 with a TD06. So you have to decide what it's worth to you. I'd just put a set of 6>2>1 extractors, a 2.5" exhaust and an electronic ignition conversion/dizzy on it and just run the old girl like the fairly slow old girl that she really is.
