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?

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

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

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.

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?

if u want a oil change, gear box and diff oil change i can do it for you. Brothers got a hoist i can use.

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. :D

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.

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

:P

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
