100k Kms Service

[Curtis.Cow]

hey guys,

i was woundering if it would be easier if i brought all the 100k kms service parts myself, and took it to a machanic around midland, or would it be easier getting them to get all the parts.. or is it hard to do it yourself, ive done it changes on other cars, just not my skyline before.. some info would be radddd,

thanks

Depends on the workshop.

Ring around and find out costings. Plenty of workshops can do the job for you

Hey mate I just had my 100k service done not long ago and I sourced the parts myself. In most cases it will work out cheaper to buy the parts yourself, around $100. You'll still get slammed ~$550-$650 for labour though. Can't comment on doing it yourself because there was no way I was going to try it myself

[Curtis.Cow]

haha, sounds good mate, ive been looking around and been able to source a kit for only $412 imma give doing it myself a smash see how we go

[ZXY]

just of interest, where did you find the 100,000km service kit

[Curtis.Cow]

its off some shop i found on ebay.

[br3ndan]

would you be able to copy and paste the contents of that kit on here for me to see?

seems very very cheap... i highly doubt nissan genuine parts.

im coming up for my 100k service also, probably within the next few weeks or something, cbf doing it myself.. actually i think i have to get Autoworx to do it, otherwise i void my AWN warranty.

excuse my trollishness' for the below text.

i did my 100k service myself, i hate doing the same job twice so i changed everything

NSK tensioner bearing 130

NSK idler bearing 100 (both bearings sourced from CBC bearings in malaga, they are same quality as oem but if u get them through nissan they are way overpriced)

nissan cam seals 20 x 2

nissan crank seal 30

genuine nissan neo water pump 230

gates timing belt 85

i think thats all, pretty expensive service thats for sure! id hate to pay labour ontop of that...... lucky me

i strongly advise against doing it yourself unless you know what your doing and you are aware of the correct belt tension etc etc as you could see the end of your motor if belt goes bye bye lol

i also advise you to buy genuine parts, aftermarket oil seals and cheap bearings are a mechanics worst enemy

I got my 100k kit from Kudos Motorsport (SAU business trader). It was around $470 delivered? The water pump, timing belt and seals were genuine but the tensioner and idler bearing were NSK (made in Japan). The kit doesn't come with auxillary belts along with your filters which you should probably do while your doing the major service.

you dont have to get us to do your service , you can service it anywhere you like .

you will need a proper tax invoice for the service

you cant do it yourself or get your mates to do it though

Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up.

Besides i wouldnt get anyone else to touch my car other than you guys anyway. was just saying heh.

Did my 100km service in January, I had the guys at X-speed do all the work and source all the parts,..I mean they do this all the time and should know which parts work better than I do.

End result, just over $1000k including parts (water pump, timing belt, filters), labour, oil, coolant and a 28 point safety check. I'm quite happy with this service and would recommend Hanson and the guys for any service or repair work to any import.

I wouldn't bother getting the parts myself, they buy them in bulk and would get discounts. If you wanted a special part ask them.

[stormtrooper]

You have to be soooooooooo bloody careful when you are putting the new timing belt on aswel, have to make sure everything lines up else if cam or anything is out even a little, can destroy shit/bend valves etc

I had mine done at Xspeed, cost me about $900 total for the full 100,000km service of an R32 GTR and that included all parts aswel.

[Dani Boi]

Xspeed is expensive, curious to know exactly what they did for $900...?

I would be taking it to a workshop. Besides labour you wont save that much on parts going else where. Remember also you must be comparing apples with apples. An ebay kit is most likely going to be cheap parts. Workshops will generally give you the quality parts worth the bucks. A 100km service is important for the sake of a small fortune you should get a pro to take care of it.

[Curtis.Cow]

your probally right, but id like to give it ago, worst thing i can do is blow the thing up isnt it all the other things are easy cept ive not done a RB25 timing belt before, done others, old things like a 69mini cooper -.-" haha
