I got the mechanic 4L of gearbox oil (VMX-80) and 2L of diff oil (LSX-90) from Supercheap, he says almost all is used, how do I trust him and how do I know they filled it to the top of the fill holes??

Well thats what we pay for in any service, I guess..cost me $60 labor..

bit paranoid mate ..If almost all is used sounds like he did it right...

If someone paid me 60$ to change their oil. I know I'd do it properly so they would comeback again..Wouldnt you?

60$ for barely 30mins work is good money..

unless you were there to see it getting changed not sure.

maybe he did not change oil at all , maybe he did.

if you dont trust him and think he didn't do the job properly , might be a wise idea to go out buy new oils and do it.

i guess only way to know for sure.

if you need help with new oil changes let me know i can help :)

Thanks Buddy, I was there standing at the workshop and saw the guy change my oil and put in my new one that I supplied, my only concern is that I do not know if he filled it to the top of the fill hole or not? I mean customers are only allowed beyond a certain point in any workshop so the best they can do is watch and hope they doin things right..

Ya 60 bux for doin both diff and gearbox oil, easy job, just need a hoist and oil pump that I dont have.. Yea I know they do try to overcharge 'young' people if they can, but they aint gona be able to do that with this 33 y.o.!

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
