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.

[Damo_R34]

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.

[Madaz]

Bs unless a 34 cost more than a 33 i paid around the $600 mark with a run on the dyno shopping around and you'll find people on the forum can give you a hand with it

[Damo_R34]

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)

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 .

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

[Madaz]

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

[Damo_R34]

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

[Weezy]

I wonder what Morpowa slug for a re-tune, I want to get the sil's pfc tune touched up just for peace of mind and my apexi boost controller installed.

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

[Weezy]

What happens if the back yarder works at a reputable workshop but doing it on the weekends ?

Still not covered by their professional indemnity insurance.

wow thanks mate. Im consider getting this r34 lol

[Blazk]

From what i read about importing from iron chef imports....its fees, upon charges. upon bills, upon tax's. Anyone verify this ?

[Damo_R34]

the "landed and complied" price should cover you for everything (compliance might be a bit extra) except for rego. but dont quote me on this, best speak to the man himself!

[Blazk]

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.

[Bl4cK32]

Personally i dont mind driving a car back from vic, but if its just landed then id be asking myself if i want to drive it 750kms before i do a major service on it.

[Damo_R34]

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

[RubyRS4]

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.
