I'm planning on changing the oils-

Flushing engine

Coolant

Front and Rear Diff

Spark plugs (leaving for the pros)

Timing belt (been done 89,000km ago)

Gear box

Air Filter (Buying Apexi intake)

I'm a noob but i need start somewhere.

This going be my first time changing any oil, so please help me.

I need know where unplug the oils and change them.

To learn I need get my hands dirty.

what do you mean the timing belt was done 89,000kms ago? you mean it had it done at 11,000kms? or are you meaning it was done at 89,000kms?

also if this is your first time changing the oil i don't know if you should takle the timing belt by yourself. it isn't super hard to do, but there is a possibility you could destroy your engine if you do it wrong.

and what do you mean you are leaving the spark plugs to the pros?

as for the actual method for doing any of this, there would be a write up on pretty much everything you are planning on doing if you search the DIY section

Hey mate,

Thank for the info, well the timing belt was done at 89,000km's and with the spark-plug I'm leaving it to the mechanic.

I'm not going to even touch the timing belt, as I know that if been done wrong, can do some damage or even destroy the engine.

I'll give the DIY section a look.

Thx

Amon

oh ok. if the timing belt was done at 89,000km it doesn't really need to be done, but then it comes down to how long ago it was done. just make sure that the tensioner pulleys, etc are done at the same time.

the engine oil is pretty straight foward to do. just make sure the car is warm when you do it.

for the diff and gearbox oils, make sure you can loosen the filler holes before you even bother touching the drain holes. if you can't get the filler holes undone then don't drop the oil as you won't be able to fill them back up. the gearbox isn't quite so bad as you can put it in through the gearstick hole (if it is anything like the 2wd gearboxes).

I'm pretty sure the tensioner pulleys were done. When I purchase my vehicle they said it was done and i had the engine checked by my mechanic and he said all good.

As for the engine oil i hope its easy to do. but for the diff and gearbox oils, got no idea what to do and what kind of method is involved.

Thx

Hey mate,

Not sure if you've already started doing the service but I did my 100k service about 2 weeks ago so while it's fresh in my mind I thought I would make a list for ya.....

1. Replaced water pump with new factory item (Done by tuner)

2. Replaced timing belt (Done by tuner - don't attempt this if you're unsure. I've had a fair bit of experience and I left it to the pros, just personal preference)

3. Replaced idler and tensioner bearings (Done by tuner)

4. Replaced oil filter (Done myself)

5. Replaced coolant (Done myself)

6. Replaced all the belts (alternator, power steering and AC) (Done by tuner as I CBF'd lol, but it's not to bad)

7. Drained and filled both front and back diffs (Done myself, this was very easy but you have to be careful when lying under the car, make sure you have the proper equipment)

8. Drained and filled the gearbox (Done myself) with RedLine shockproof (very expensive but the beez neez) - again just make sure you have the proper equipment to hoist the car

9. Cleaned and flow tested injectors (You'll have to get it done professionally, cost me $100, very good investment for an R32)

10. Replaced Air filter (I just put in a good quality K&N panel filter, good for a million Km's, just have to blow the dust out every now and then). If you're running pods, just give them a clean/ replace

11. Clean out your air flow meters, ensure you use good quality electric contact cleaner (you can pick up a can from Dick smith)

12. Changed spark plugs (Done myself). This is really easy mate, just make sure you have the right tools and pick up some anti-seize paste from an auto supplier (you put it on the thread of the sparkies so they don't get stuck in there when the engine gets hot)

and if you want to get technical....

13. Check your O2 sensors (on the dump pipes), mine personally had to be replaced, I wouldn't bother though if the car is running okay

If you take ya car to a reputable tuner when they do the more technical stuff, they will be able to tell if there is anything else that needs attention such as brake pads or tire tread condition.

Hope you've been saving ya pennies, a GTR service will be around $1k :),

Cheers,

Sean

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
