Hi, just bought an R34 GTT and ive got about 3 months before i can legally drive it so first thing im gonna do while its off the road is have a good look around and replace some shiz.

I know its got a good service history in the past and it was last serviced about 10,000 ago.

I intend on doing the oil n oil filter (putting a 7.5w30 oil in) the engine bay and other fluids are very clean n no leaks but im wondering what else you guys think i should look for or replace? I'm gonna check the spark plugs see if they need replacing as well as cleaning the air filter. I'm used to normal servicing on cars but i want to be thorough with this car. I also have a couple hoses im going to replace as they are hard or deteriorating. But any other suggestions? Its at 150km which i know is pretty high and thats another reason for the thoroughness of this particular check.

Congrats on the new car. I would change the spark plugs no matter what, tire pressure, battery, fuel filter, oil, oil filter. Just go over the whole car.

oil,filter,spark plugs,air filter,fuel filter

make sure u gap them plugs right

has the timing belt been done?

^^^ +1 including timing belt/tensioners if history is sketchy.

Whilst changing plugs, check looms/coils for hardness/burn-scorch marks.

Change all coolant fluid if it's still got Japanese H2O inside.

Start your log book if you haven't got one.

PM me if you want details of the Nissan Servicing Schedule in English (official UK version)

I definatly would get oils done asap. then filters and sparks plugs.

Also, i always buy new wiper blades when i get a car. No one ever seems to replace the crusty rubbers.

Best $7 you will ever spend for those wet days.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
