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.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
