Servicing My 33

[defari]

Hey,

Getting my car serviced just need some advice on major parts i should get inspected / replaced. (have read about 20 pages of crap in the oils thread)

97 series II rb25det, 125,000k's.. mods 3 inch exhaust, greddy oil cooler, pod filter..

parts i have already

o2 sensor

ngk iridiums BKR6EIX

greddy oil filter

So what i was looking to get down is

1. flush radiator / replace coolant

2. flush engine oil / replace oil filter + motul turbolite 10w-40

3. injector flush

4. replace the clutch boot fork

5. clean aac valve (will do this myself)

6. clean throttle body (will do this myself)

Would it be good to replace trans / diff oils at the same time (unsure when it was last done)

I've noticed a little bit of moisture (oil) around the turbo lines too, probably a good idea to get the lines checked?

Any info would help

Also, best place to take my 33? I dont mind travelling for good service / reasonable price..

see Dan at ERD -- www.erd.com.au

he takes care of heaps of skylines in SEQ. also has access to parts at great prices.

For Injectors cleaning EFI Performance is just around the corner to ERD.

both great workshops - you won't find better!

+1 for Dan @ ERD.

nothing more needs to be said, he is the greatest.

I'd be doing all the basic stuff like oil change/flush and coolant myself if I were you. Unless of course you work a lot and don't have the time for it. At least when your doing it yourself you save money and know that it's been done properly. Too many dodgy mechanics out there.

cheers lads, ERD it is

ty1 yeah mate gonna do a few things myself but time is never on my side

+1 for ERD Dan is the man!

sweet, hopefully get it all sorted asap.. got a grand or so to chuck into the car, want more hp, however i think its gonna be best if i get the car mechanically decent before upgrading first.

cheers for the recommendations lads

for the most basic stuff you can do yourself, even if you cant really wield a spanner its still quite easy and simple to understand.

1. flush radiator / replace coolant - google the rb25 manual, its free and download, tells you how to do all that

2. flush engine oil / replace oil filter + motul turbolite 10w-40 - turn into an asian with small hands cause you'll need them to get the oil filter, may aswell buy a relocation kit while your at it. Also put some proper oil in it Mobil 1 fully synthetic for instance.

3. injector flush - get some injector cleaner and run it through a tank

4. replace the clutch boot fork - ring nissan and quote this part number: 30542-69F00

5. clean aac valve (will do this myself) - swoit buy some gasket silicone (its made my loctite i think and its blue) and i gather you found the tutorial

6. clean throttle body (will do this myself) - swoit buy some gasket silicone (its made my loctite i think and its blue)

7. Would it be good to replace trans / diff oils at the same time - yes may as well again use a nice oil Mobil 75-90 in fully synthetic (if you track car) or mineral if its just on the street.

8. As for turbo lines, get a can of degreaser, spray the area, take it for a reasonable drive and inspect. All nissan motors seem to think oil is evil.

hope all goes well, otherwise hitup dan as the above members have mentioned.

If you are worried about yr injectors, I'd head to EFI Performance.

They have a fancy (read expensive) machine that will properly clean injectors, then they'll test all injectors are flowing at the same rate (within x% of your other injectors).

If you are planning to run your car at the track, I'd be making sure your fuel delivery is 100%. and getting them to clean/test injectors isn't that much.

BTW, I've been told the injector cleaner that you add to your fuel tank isn't that affective.

its more or less a carbon remover, i would agree with the above statment

mate I still have castrol diff and gearbox oil and front brake pads..which I bought and never used.

it's enough for an R33.

buy it off me.
