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.

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.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
