Just Done 100k Service

[webng]

Had the 100k service done at Boostworx yesterday, belts, water pump, all fluids, diff, gearbox, attessa, brakes etc. I did my own oil and oil filter so that wasn't needed. They also fixed my dodgy front/dump pipe install and reseated the O2 sensor properly (didn't quite go all the way in before due to wrong thread on JJR's pipe). Car is now running like new, purring along beautifully, gear changes are much quicker and smoother. Couldn't be happier. If anyone has been putting it off, do it, do it now, worth every cent! They also put it on the dyno, 135rwkw. Total cost incld. 3 new bulbs, $1050.

Just thought I would share.

EDIT: Forgot to add that they changed the plugs too (supplied by me)

awesome! always good to hear feedback like this, there are so many trader recommendations but no evidence of their good work to back it up.

[Krishy]

thats not a bad price for that amount of work done

good to hear that its running beautifully mate

thats a nice power figure...is it a AWD or RWD

[Damo_R34]

RS4=AWD.

edit: rofl, i did mean AWD

[RubyRS4]

Thats funny. Both my RS4s are AWD.

I'll keep the 100,000km service in mind when I do 50,000kms more ... and when I get my turbo fixed first

I'm a huge fan of Shaun, Troy and the guys at Boostworx.

Took my GTR there for it's first service + 100k stuff. Had it dyno'd and everything. Got it back and it ran alot better!!

Just recently got a brake upgrade done by them, too.

And will soon be back for more work!

Yep mines a RS4 (AWD) but their dyno is only 2wd so they dropped the shaft. Shaun mentioned 135rwkw is normal for the minor mods mine had, with all running well. Shaun and Troy have a couple of new guys there too, another mechanic (Andrew?) and an aprentice mech (Alex?). Both good blokes.

They're still pretty busy but at least it's not that long a wait to book it in now! What I like about them is I don't have to worry about them ripping me off, they'll only do the work required and charge accordingly. A bit of a hike from where I am (Payneham) but well worth the trek. I only wish they have eftpos! Cash only hurts the bank like crazy.

[ted180]

sooo you took it to a workshop, and they did what needed to be done?

[Krishy]

^^^ i think thats what he just said Ted

That's right, no bull.

Actually, came back cheaper then what was initially quoted. Beat that.

[chef_stagea]

my stags going in on the 3rd for its 100k... lookn forwood to seeing what it pulls..

there doing my 100k, ebc and safc install and tune for 1800.

im guessing its a little diff for the 26... im thinking i might try and get my hands on all the stuff and just get them to do the labour part.

[Damo_R34]

Mines off getting serviced at Road & Track... theyre close to my place (Enfield)

Getting all fluids dumped, flushed and replaced

Getting all filters replaced/cleaned

Getting new sparkplugs, injector seals and injector clean

Getting diff seal tightened, brakes checked, dyno run

Dunno if there was anything else that needs doing (they'll call me) but I can't wait... come on 5pm

-D

What are they charging?

Got car back. Loads of stuff done today....

New Globe, oil and fuel filters, air filter cleaned, NGK platinum plugs fitted, new diff oil, new brake fluid, new steering fluid, new hicas fluid, new engine oil. 3 leaking injector seals replaced, injectors sonicly cleaned, tyres rotated, rocker cover retensioned

came out to just over $700

BUT

I have to now

replace front rotors, replace front brakes, replace LH Rear crossmember bush, remove radiator and get it completely flushed out, leaking injector replaced, and 2nd hand r33 gtr gearbox fitted. Probably gonna cost me over $1500 including parts but I don't skip so I'm gonna grab new RDA slotted front rotor and get some bendix ultimates to replace my current ones cause I'm pretty happy with them....

then (if I get my contract renewed) get some 2860-7's, nismo FPR, tomei poncam-b, hks cam gears and a radiator shroud purchased and fitted at the same time I get my n1 water pump installed

Fun. but not for my wallet.

i come from st agnes to go there so almost half the distance again of how much your travel

If there is any advice i can give ya mate

dont get the bendix pads....save some money and get lucas pads

bendix put out shitload of brake dust compared to the lucas

and lucas brakes better and can operate at a higher temperature
