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.

    • So left off with high hopes of having a gearbox in pretty quickly........ Got the adapter plate that week and had to chase a few threads and work out how/where everything goes as no instructions. Got the adapter fitted, test fitted gearbox and found had to cut and shave a few things. Tunnel required some hits with a decent hammer to give some clearance on passenger side but it fits with no problems,  could fit a 8hp70 with a little more work. For a cross member I wasn't going to spend $1100 on so shiny machined piece. Went through a few designs and remembered I had a gktech s chassis to cd00# cross member. Fitted that and found its close enough with a few extra bits welded so have gone that way and still a work in progress.  After this got into modifying the intercooler with some bends and clamps. I was procrastinating on this as was not keen to cut up and weld it myself but happy with the outcome.  Onto the radiator shroud and oil cooler mount. This thing took way longer than I thought it would but having to add an extra oil cooler for the trans and wanting everything within the chassis rails its good enough for now. It mounts to the chassis and gives plenty of room for lines and pipes. All the coolers are rubber mounted and sealed the shroud on the top and sides, will use some tape to seal the bottom gap of about 10mm. 20250508_111500.mp4   Next job was to build the new diff and after a delay with a friend got built this week. I ended up putting it all together with supervision and was good to learn how to set one up correctly. I ended up going a 3.69 ratio, nismo 1.5 way gt pro with gtr Axel's. Stripped it all down, gave all the parts a good clean, pressed on new bearings and set backlash. Was good working in a clean assembly room with all the gear. Once got home wire wheeled the case and hit it with some rollbar/chassis black paint. Got a few more bits done but will leave them for the next update.
    • That could be drilled, ground and welded. Would stop it progressing and leaking. But that block shouldn't be pushed very hard, as what you see there is a massive warning sign. But that fix also isn't going to happen properly with the engine in the car, and assembled. So you're looking at anew block if you're doing all that work anyway.
    • It's not as simple as it is being made out to be. It s not hard, but there are things that have to be done. Am busy right now, but will try to essay later.
    • Pinout is different to my knowledge, but you should confirm to be sure. Also you will need to adjust the VQ table in Nistune to suit. I would still recommend sticking with recirculating BOVs, I'm not sure if the R35 card MAF will fully resolve stalling caused by reversion/throttle lift.
    • What issues are those? Previous owner said it wants to stall sometimes. We did test drive and it was nice and smooth so it will be sporadic or idk. And if i just change MAF(the sensor to R35 version) it should be better? And as i asked...is it like "plug n play" with oem MAF from R34?  This is a MAF from R35 right?
