Well, they probably dont need replacing just yet.

I have to admit i'm a little stuck when it comes to what needs servicing, or what people would like to service, so if anyone who is interested in this day could post what they'd like to get done i can put it all in a list and see what kind of prices i can get, as it is i havnt called anyone yet as i still need to compile all the bits we want, and i'm not too imaginative.

So gentlemen (and ladies) please post what you'd want to service, that way i can get the parts sourced and set a date.

Hornsby Nissan only offers trade price to SAU Members. Any old joe can walk in off the street and get trade price from any Nissan Spare Parts outlet...

However, I have setup a contact at Crows Nest Nissan, who has set up a Skylines Australia account and will give any paying SAU NSW member 15% BELOW TRADE PRICE, but you have to show him your SAU NSW Membership card.

He can order ANYTHING from Nissan or NISMO catalogs (for any Nissan).

Example of the pricing he can give us:

Series 3 R33 GTR Front Lip:

Trade Price: $940.50

SAU PRICE: $799.43

Here are the contact details:

Attn: Ivan Pavic

End of Taylor Lane,

Artarmon, NSW, 2064

Tel: (02) 9023 0313

email: [email protected]

Just say you're from the Skylines Australia Club and he'll know who you are.

PLEASE SHOW HIM YOUR CLUB MEMBERSHIP CARD WHEN YOU ORDER.

I have built up this contact over my last three skylines I've owned which is the better part of 3 years, and Ivan is offering a MUCH better price than Hornsby Nissan so please use this source for any of your NISMO/Nissan Genuine Parts needs.

This is a great idea, I had dreamed of something like this, but more from the idea of installing simple mods (like boost controllers, bleed valves, cam gears, pod filters etc) that the forums are always full of questions about.

Bring it on, there are probably a few of those travelling parts vans that would be happy to stock up on Nissan specific parts, and then show up with a cc machine, and sell from the carpark.

I was under the impression that most people would know what they want to do and what parts/lubricants they will need and just rock up with everything in the boot and spend the day servicing...?

How many of these vans are going to stock 10 different brand/models of Oils, 10 different Air filters etc etc.

OK, due to popular demand...(well due to SImon asking me a few times cause i keep forgetting... lol)...

A GENERAL SERVICING GUIDE:

1. Change Oil

2. Change Oil Filter

3. Change Fuel FIlter

4. Clean/Change Air filter

5. Change Spark plugs (where necessary).

6. Check brakes, pads, suspension and handbrake.

7. Lubricate door hinges

(for the more challenging)

8. Check gearbox fluid level

9. Check diff fluid level

10. Check exhaust system

Hows that Si?.....

Cheers,

Dave.

hornsby nissan might be the go for that.

 

??

Do we have a contact at Hornsby Nissan for SAU people? I need to ring someone to get a ECU Wiring Harness wire colour thingy to hookup my RSM and I thought i'd give them a call ?

ok had a chat to UAS the other day about this.

They seem pretty interested in supplying what ever bits they can should we ask them and said that a discount prolly wouldnt be a prob.

Now i also realised that trying to organise parts for an unknown number of cars is not really going to work as the odds of being understcoked (leaving annoyed club members) or over stocked (leaving a broke and annoyed me) are pretty high.

So heres what i'm thinking (and working on putting into action). Below is a section from Dj's service lift.

1. Change Oil

2. Change Oil Filter

3. Change Fuel FIlter

4. Clean/Change Air filter

5. Change Spark plugs

6. Check brakes, pads, suspension and handbrake.

7. Change gearbox fluid

I'm going to organise the parts required for the above (bar break pads... unless you all convince me otherwise) as a "premium pack".

In this "pack" will be the best quality parts for the above we can get (for example motzul oils etc etc i havnt decided what sparkies to get... heh i cant find a threat where ppl agree one way or another on copper or iridium).

Now i'm going to offer these packs ONLY to those who ask for it pay in advance. Others will need to source there own parts although if i'm asked close enough to when i go pick the bits up i might be able to grab a few extras.

Ok now i know we have a fair few ppl interested in the day in general, how many of you are interested in getting a "pack"? I'm not sure how many members SNSW has so i'm not going to set a minimum number right now, although i'll set down 10 as a rough guide.

As for the date, well i dont want to start the click ticking right now. So once i get 10 or so ppl interested in the above i'll check with UAS for a price and time needed to get the bits and confirm a date.

Also keep in mind that this ISNT a totally closed event, anyone can come, but the part packs will be for RB engines only. So if u have a friend who's somehow crammed a 26dett under the bonnet of his minnie, bring him along, and if instead he wants to service his old sigma.... thats fine.... he just has to bring his own parts.

Oh and one more thing.... Can anyone think of any weird or wonderful tools that we might want that one wouldnt normally have? I'm going to grab a oil filter wrench during the week but i'm thinking there might be a few tools we havnt thought of.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
