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. :D

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

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. :D

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.

my gf's brothers 180sx is their waiting to have the rb20 wired up, auto elec quoted 3k, boostworks quoted 500!

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?

I won't know until i get the car back, but around the $600 mark.

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.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
