I am chasing good places in the southern areas of perth, I live near Kwinana, To do a service on My car. it is a big one as it is the first one after buying nad its 130 000kms any way.

Also i need to adjust the toeing as my tires are all worn about an inch on the insides of the front. An there fore need new tires. Any one know a good place or to to get some prices?

This really pisses me off coz i got it balanced about a month ago and has obviously caused excessive wear. (bob jane Kwinana)

1 Servicing 94 R33 GTST

2 Proper balancing

3 Set of New Tires. Maybe 2 only depending on cost.

I am mainly after reliability but of course price is an bonus.

Thanks, Milan

I'd buy all the oils/supplies you need and do most of it yourself, but take it to a proper performance shop to do the timing belt :(

Diff Oil, Gearbox Oil, Engine Oil, Coolant, Oil Filter, Fan Belt, Water Pump can all be done yourself..

Oh Yeah, Milan, try Bob Jane in Rocko for a good deal on Tyres ;)

*bows*

Go buy the stuff first... You'll Need.

Gearbox - Castrol VMX80 Shockproof (5L Containers)

Diff Castrol LSX90 LSD Oil (Stinky as hell, but fun to play with)

Coolant - And Green/blue/pink whatever the hell you like designed for alloy radiators.

Engine Oil - I'd go either Full Synthetic 10W30 Mobil 1, or a Semi Synth in the same brand :rofl:

Oil Filter - Ryco Z145a

Fuel Filter - Part number coming soon, i have it written down somewhere:)

Spark Plugs - NGK BCP6RES (Gap them to 0.8mm)

Tools - Spark Plug Remover, Feeler Gauge, 3/4" Drive Socket set (for gearbox & diff oil bungs) Various Screwdrivers, A Jack (trolley jack preferrable), few bricks/blocks of wood, Oil catch tray, and Fluid Pump to pump in Diff & Gear Oil..

There's not much to it really, but if you get stuck you can give me a call, I'd be more than happy to help :)

I talked to a guy named Darren (was sent their from Dymatech Racing) he and Dymatech suggested Hancook Silica somethings as they have got them and have got about 43000 k's just by rotating every 10000.

only $170 ea. so thats not bad but i will ask about Simex.

As for the tune it looks like maybe some small upgrades may be in the works. Ie front mount first. So i will probably go to dymatech racing as i like the way he runs his business and it is about 1000m from my house. and i will be bartering some work for him. Thanks heaps anyway.

Hope to meet up wiht you all again soon....

ANy one got any ideas on the next cruise Date/time.... Please be sunday night or any night other than Wed or Sat, (damn work)

Again THanks all for yoyur help.

I had Simex tyres put on when my car got complied and they were around $195 each for 235/45/17. This was in October last year.

Not bad to date, haven't seen too much wear, fairly good in the wet but back loses a bit of traction on wet roads (which just adds to the fun).

Cheers, Al

How long would it take?

Any ideas on which fluids to buy for them all?

fair enough ya tryin to save a few bucks on doin ya own servicing but hey cmon if ya dun know what ya doin and have to ask how to do it. DONT DO IT.... youll prob end up stuffing it up or possibly even worse proberly cost ya more to fix ya u stuffed up.

My thoughts... :)

Prefer Redline Lightweight Shockproof myself.

Oil Filter - Ryco Z145a

Or genuine Nissan for less.

Fuel Filter - Part number coming soon, i have it written down somewhere:)

Bosch fuel filter 0 450 905 002 is bigger than standard, has better flow and fits the factory bracket.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
