i'm coming up on 94,000k and want to get a 100k major service done soon just ot be safe, i have had a quote from a couple of well known workshops in sydney for a serious major service for around $1200-1400 including

--------------------

Tyre pressures checked and corrected.

Air filter replaced or if performance filters cleaned and re oiled.

Check list for our technicians and report given.

----------------------

just got an email back from unigroup as i have been hearing all good things about them with a quote of $750

-----------

The following is a list of the labour carried out at 100k km services for R33

Gts-25t's.

1) Replace Timing belt and ancillary belts - $280

2) Change oil and oil filter - $30

3) Coolant system air purge - $20

4) Replace fuel filter - $20

5) Replace spark plugs - $70

The following is a list of the parts needed.

Nissan timing belt $110

Ancillary belts (alternator, water pump and the like) - $90

Oil and oil filter - $50

Coolant - $25

Fuel Filter - $25

Spark Plugs - $30

That brings the service to a total of $750. We also have the options of

replenishing your gearbox/diff oils and checking their condition. If you have

questions fell free to call.

-------------

obviously the other service is a bit more in depth but would it be worth the 500 or so dollars extra?

ps. i wont need to have either the gearbox oil, injector clean or the sparkplugs replaced.

sorry for the long post

:) James

I would go with the Unigroup service and add the brake and clutch fluid change if it hasnt been done in a while. You could argue that alot of the stuff in the first quote isnt really needed. Checking all the cam and crank seals should be part of the Cam belt change anyway, Radiator and engine flushes, well if there is no sign of rubbish and corrosion in the cooling system there is a good chance there is no need for it and if Unigroup changed the coolant and noticed signs that it needed a flush they could maybe do it then. No need doing things that dont need to be done. Alot of the other things like lubricating hinges and stuff even a mechanically challenged person could really do on a sunday arvo. Some of the treatments that workshops give are also often not necessary.

Alot of lesser work shops will do major services like the first quote then basically do as little as they have to, just what they are sure you will notice, and it happens a fair bit.

With a 100K service on an RB engine alot of people like to do the water pump when they do the timing belt because the pump is very easy to change once everything is off. They are pretty cheap pumps as well but have a reputation of leaking after 100,000k's. At the same time though it may last alot longer. I guess thats why alot of people wont bother.

$25 for a fuel filter?????

Sounds about right to me. A fuel filter can be bought for around $10, so the labour would be about $15

A bit of a ripoff I know, personally I would at least replace the oil, oil filter, fuel filter, sparkplugs and coolant myself.

EDIT:: Lol I just reread the post. $45 to change the fuel filter??!! ...You're right :)

I've been gradually doing a lot of the 100k stuff along the way so when the big 100 hit, I only paid $60 :cheers: That's oil+filter, labour supplied by me.

The timing belt was changed by the previous owner at 81k, so hopefully he changed the water pump as well. If not I'll just wait for it to fail then change it, in my experience they usually leak slowly and gradually get worse as they wear out.

I also haven't changed any ancillary belts, they still look very good and were probably done when the timing belt was changed. Hoses are also pretty good.

Other things I've done recently or just after I got the car a year ago: Gearbox, clutch, brake, and diff fluids, plugs, air filter, fuel filter, idle and TPS adjust, plus other small things I can't remember. I forgot the power steering pump fluid in all this so I should do that soon.

If your car is around 80-90k or so, it's worth doing most of the above before you need to so that you don't get slugged with a bigass $1000 bill when the car gets to 100k. A lot of it you can do yourself at home with a bit of know-how. If your belt hasn't already been changed then that will be the only thing you'll need to pay for at 100k. $200-300 is a lot less than $750-$1400.

just got 100k service done yesterday.. $795 at autotech labrador.

included genuine nissan GTR timing belt, nissan N1 water pump, Nissan oil, cleaned throttle body etc

pretty much all the mentioned above

oh i got a scratch on my front bar as extra :cheers:

hey Mr R32 M-Spec

is that the just jap in kirraween?

do they do full mechanical repairs?

my poor old wagon needs a MAJOR service and a couple of mods done at the same time and i'm having trouble working out who i can get to do it.

let us know how the service goes...

  • 1 year later...

Engine manufactured recomended timing belt change on 100000kms ,but timing belt manufacture recomended timing belt change on 80000kms.And do not forget that in Japan on clock 80000kms is so much time running engine on lights etc. so its sure change timing belt/genuine or racing one /and genuine water pump.And change all front engine seals when timing is off.I paid 116$ for genuine rb20 timing belt end seals from nissan.

  • 5 weeks later...

ur car wont die if u dont do all that stuff...and why change the waterpump when its not broken?

personally i wouldnt pay anyone you dont know to do it....not worth the risk.

definently do timing belt, oil and filter, change fluids too.(u should be able to do this urself, take half a saturday if ur slow like me, if u cant do this u prob shouldnt own a car :) )

  • 3 months later...

bah ill do 100kms service myself. just do all oils filters and replace P/S belt.. timing belt done 30km ago. now at 91kms..

looks like the PS belt tensioner is hiden i cant see it.

might think bout doin other stuff.

did a 80,000kms service on a UZJ100R landcruiser cost customer $900 spent an hour or so ripping off tappet cover and checking valve clearances. most of its labour fellas.

do what u can urself

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
