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.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • 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!
