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.

    • Not alot of room in the front or mid pipe to play with Helmholtz chambers, plus they are pretty hit and miss getting the length and volume right, and time is money when it comes to trial and error testing at a exhaust shop, it isn't like test fitting mufflers or resonators From previous experience with exhausts and trying to tone down the volume and eliminate some drone, a resonator in the mid pipe typically make it much better,  and even possibly stop Jackie complaining about it, me, I really don't notice it that much, but, I am pretty deaf 🤣
    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
