MMM so tempting. Couple questions on that.

What does the 100k service involve? Best place to go to for this ?

What would you guys / Girls fix on it and how?

Anything I should worry about ?

This car will be a 10 year car Im hoping.

100k will cost you around $1000, Boostworx is recommended.

Just give it a nice general clean up, get it detailed, clea the engine bay, the start picking at the thigs that shit you, like, i wat it lower / handle better, dont like these rims, i wanna go faster, etc.

No offence to any budding mechanics around here, but i wouldnt trust a major service to anyone but a recommended workshop. The R34 100k kit from Kudos is a lil over $500, so if you factor in labour and the incidentals, around 1000. Pitlane quoted me $1000.

I agree with you there, but as i don't know any mechanics (hoping to get to know a few here) I would go to a workshop. Just hope there isn't an MAJORS on it engine wise or could be a sad day.

On the topic of the engine. Is the RB25DET Neo 2.5 litre 6 cylinder turbo A nice solid powerful engine? Again sorry, not very knowledgeable in this area, just know what i like (aesthetics) :D

100,000k service includes complete fluid flush & change over (every fluid in the whole car), water pump, timing belt, spark plugs, all new filters, 100% car check over, and then the other stuff like rotor machine etc.

Ring up Sinergy Motorsports for a quote :D.

NEO25's are very decent, I would happily run 300+rwkw with a standard bottom end and cams etc providing the tune is nice n chunky :)

Yeah mine was only water pump and timing belt kit when i got boostworx to do it

Simon is running a neo in his drift car and getting like 330 rwkw with a metal head gasket he now has cams but wastegate fell over the last time they went to tune it

Give Martin Donon a call from Willall Racing or Shaun from Boostworx, if i remember ill chat to Martin today if i see him and come back this arvo with a quote

Boostworx - $1350, incl all oil (synthetic) and a dyno ecu touch up. Just got off the phone.

that is not a bad price to pay to have all the work done professionally.....with regards to big things being done to the car i prefer a reputable workshop doing it rather then some back yarder mechanic

Here are a few i found interstate i wouldnt mind getting some opinions on.

R34 GTT 1

R34 GTT 2

R34 GTT 3

R34 GTT 4

If anyone could find something closer that would be a bit easier too.

Victoria wouldnt be to bad as its not THAT far to drive back, but NSW ,may be a fair hike and $$ to drive back.

Would like:

Manual Transmission

under 100k on the clock would be nice too.

Here are a few i found interstate i wouldnt mind getting some opinions on.

34 1 - ugly tail lights and rims, selling before 100k service it seems

34 2 - great base car for some light mods, looks the goods. i rate this one

34 3 - aids wing, but a good list of mods, good price

34 4 - front bar aids, but really cheap, id be checking this one mechanically. km's seem a lil low for a 98.

my opinions

my opinions

My opinion is ... don't forget you'll need a vehicle ID inspection when you bring it over. I like car 3 with the mods, but Regency will have a field day with it. Car 4, does have low (questionable) kms.

Car 3 gets my vote, as long as you got bits access to, to get the ID inspection done easy.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
