Complete Service Costs

[Ryanrb25]

how many km has the car done mate?

[SkyHi_33]

Hi all,

Got a s1 r33 gts-t not long ago and am thinking about getting it serviced by a workshop instead of doing it myself like usual as I've gotten incredibly lazy.

I'm looking at getting a complete service done so just trying to figure out how much I'm about to throw out of my wallet.

Things i want to do:

all fluids

all belts

all filters

spark plugs

tune up

What do you guys reckon?

Who is the best to do this work but doesn't charge an arm n a leg?

[Madaz]

you want the uleh tune cost lost mahet << the h is silent

100,000K service from boost works cost me $600ish so add a little more for extra belts which you prolly dont need and sparkies would set you back about $25 for coppers standard ecu doesn't go out of tune so that's really a buzz word

oil change is from memory $150 @ boostworx

[SkyHi_33]

Its done 104,000

well, more like "104,000" if you know what i mean... im guessing its in its mid to high 100's like most of em.

hence why id replace most of the stuff.

btw, the car has a flat spot at 5,000rpm on full power, not always there but sometimes it doesn't wanna go over without a fight. ideas?

im thinking spark plugs might be the (or part of) reason why.

[Madaz]

sparkies usually give a popping type boost cut feel i would say not going over 5,000rpm could be dry solder on the AFM

i reckon i did my 100,000km @ 143,000 because i bought the car @ 123,000 and assumed it may have been done

also if you've boosted the car above factory it could be R&R stopping the car making peak performance so things don't go bang just nissans way of user protection

that's pretty much what it feels like, sort of misfiring but not so harsh.

the car is running stock boost.

where did you get your 100,000k service from? boostworx? what was done?

[Madaz]

replaced timing belt with genuine part replace water pump check compression on all cylinders and a power run on the dyno

any fluids/filters?

[Madaz]

[Luke_ENR34]

oils arent really a problem for me, i just thought if I'm gonna do it right might as well get everything done at one place as changing belts etc.. aren't something im confident in doing.

ill ring around a few places tomorrow but will let you know.

Its fuel cut. Try getting a stronger fuel pump or if that doesnt work fuel cut defencer (use only if the ecu is cutting you off not fuel pump itself). Its nothing to do with sparkies.

+ 1 for ryans workmanship.

treats the car as if it was his own, and doesnt cut corners.

[Tangles]

Ryan for a private service/tune, or Boostwerks for a shop service/tune

($450 ~ $650 for 1st and 2nd option is the going rate)

best if you buy the parts yourself, ie 5L premium 10/40w oil, oil filter, fuel filter, coolant, power steer fluid, brake fluid, diff fluid (attessa as well for us 4wd'ers), bcpre6 .8mm copper sparkies,

grab a gates racing belt set for $300 (belt, tensioner, pulley, rings/seals)

oil and water pump for RB, around $450 there for new

might need the exhaust studs checked at same time.

probably advisable to check and replace gaskets, ie exhaust manifold, intake manifold, turbo gasket

but doing that adds up to a grand job.

although you then know she's good for a fair while longer now, probably for your ownership.

a safc and nismo adjustable fuel pressure regulator might be a bit of fun, to get around the 5000rpm spot, and gain some more power

but youd want a full exhaust system, good induction and intake, better fuel pump, and then the mods really start

so easy to fall under the spell LOL
