R33 Major Service

[SargeRX8]

Hey all,

Just need some info to help me out. 1996 R33 GTST due in for the 100000km major service. Located in Sydney and wondering if anyone knows any decent reputable mechanics who will do the service.

How much should I be expecting to pay? I was planning on taking it to Dynamic Motorsports.

Whats involved in the service? Is it a lengthy process? Would most mechanics have the consumable/replaceable parts in stock?

Any relevant info would be great!

Cheers guys.

I paid $1100 for the service.... If I can find the invoice I'll list you the bits done but there is a thread here that shows what needs to be done

I got quoted $450 for timing belt plus tensioners and idlers fitted. $120 for engine oil suitable for the car. But the guy said the major service includes all oils, oils in gear box, diff, coolant, new spark plugs, ultrasonic cleaning of fuel injectors, brakes for $1800. I got scared.

Gearbox oil, spark plugs I can do my self. Is cleaning the fuel injectors necessary? What about oil in the diff or some shit? I probably will just get them to do the belt and engine oil.

hey mate,

$450 to do timing belt sounds pretty good if that is including the idler and tensioner but make sure they change them as most belt failures are caused by the tensioner and idler damage to the belt.

as far as the rest of your service i would do engine, gearbox and diff oils. replace spark plugs but INSPECT your coolant, chances are it will be fine, if its rusty or dirty then replace, you will be able to look yourself just take off your rad cap (make sure engine is cold so you dont spray yourself).

dont touch your injectors, never heard of any dramas with stock injectors and if your car is running rough then chances are its gonna be something else anyway.

and obviously brakes if you need them. if you have any questions feel free to PM me
