i think mines due for a service,

got it at 47,000Ks and its around 52,000Ks

How often do you service your v35s and where ?

I just did it at unique auto sport after 9000 something km. it is $250 because everything else is still in good condition except the engine oil stuff.

where is it mmm.... use google=)

does it matter where i get it serviced though ?

their gonna do same thing to it anyway right?

like K-Mart and others would be $130

Pro-Concept is $210

Personally I'd say no, it shouldn't matter.

My advice -

Things like oil changes/filters etc are pretty easy to do at home.

If you want to do things like a full fluids change - brakes, diff gearbox etc

Find a mechanic you know is decent, buy your own fluids, take them in with the car, and watch them change it.

There is nothing special about the V35, that means you should be paying extra. Anyone who tells you different is trying to rip you off. Yes you will pay extra for better oils etc, but if both places are using the same stuff the price should be similar.

By buying your own fluids, you may be able to get them cheaper if you shop around, and you avoid the place adding there own little charge on top.

If the workshop can get parts cheaper, then make sure you actually see them putting those parts in. ie, you don't want to be paying for Motul 300v engine oil, and they just put castrol magnatec in. :-)

at the end of the day, its just another car.

To take the oil out, you undo the sump plug - just like a commodore/falcon

To put the oil in, you unscrew the oil cap and fill - just like a commodore/falcon

seems everyone says every 5k, but the manual says every 15k.. any particular reason why?

My S14 I used to do every 5k, but thats coz it was turbocharged.. think the manual for that said every 7.5k..

Just keep an eye on it. You can tell if your oil is being used/burnt and change the service interval to what suits.

As a guide though, i have an Aus 04 Maxima, which has the VQ35 engine (but de-tuned) and the service book recommends every 5000km for oil changes.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
