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.

      Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)

      The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter

      Single Turbo Conversion On R32 GTR.

      Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
