Minor service (oil etc) - do it yourself.

Anything major - Ferntree Gully Nissan.

RE will do a good job of fluids/filters (although I don't like the fluids they use), but if you need diagnostics, ecu resets, parts, trans servicing, can't go past FTG Nissan.

Just make sure that the parts are no available via Import Monster first!

Whats the pricing like mate?

And thanks for the info guys.

R E customs looks solid.

Just picked my car up from RE Customs, after they installed my highflow. I got a standard service at the same time. Let me tell you, it was very reasonably priced. Speak to Ray and he will give you an idea on price - but i would highly recommend them. I can say that other import specialists i have tried have been a fair bit more expensive.

+1 for R E Customs

Depending on where you are in Melbourne either of these places are really good.

If you live out West

I just had my 100,000km service done there which covered the following :

Timing and Accessory Belts

New Water pump

All fluids e.g. Engine, Gearbox, Diff, Transfer Cas (They used Motul and Castrol products so not cheap stuff either)

All up came to about $1200 which I thought was very reasonable.

If you live South East

I haven't had Trent service my car only do some tuning and fitting of my computer and EBC, but I was very pleased with his work. I would go back and use him regularly only he is a bit far away for me to travel.

RE's prices are pretty good.

I don't know what they use now, but back when they did my high flow, they put Martini Racing 10w40 mineral oil in and it drove like it was being strangled.

They were also using Castrol Edge (you have to ask for it), but I don't link how that compares in my car either.

As I said, if you are not picky about what fluids are used, go for it. Ray/Brad/Michael do good work.

Otherwise, you could always take your chosen fluids to RE for use in your service.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
