  • 3 weeks later...

Impressed.

Is all i can say at the moment, I dont think ive ever seen so many props for a workshop/mechanic ever.

I live in brisbane, just got my 94 gtst (will start thread soon to show her off :( ) and shes on 98,000km so i need FULL 100,000 service soon.. ie timing belt, transmission fluid, oil, plugs,some tubes replaced etc

Ide say ill be taking it to this place :)

Anyone have an estimate on how much a full 100,000 service is?

Ive got about $500 to spend at the moment, but still saving :)

I got the 100000km service not long ago with EVERY fluid changed, Spark plugs, timing belt, check other belts, re oil filters. I got mine done in two parts with a few other things checked as well and I'm pretty sure it cost me below $500. But as I said, I got a few other things done as well. I'll try and find the receipts and let you know. Come to think of it I think it was around the $400 mark because I remember having $400 left over from my loan refinance :(

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
