Hi,

I'm kinda new to driving and I've recently bought a Nissan Skyline R34.

Do I go to ANY Nissan store to get General Maintenance? e.g:

I can go to http://www.nissan.com.au,

click Locate a Dealer,

Enter post code, (my postcode is 2761)

then go to the nearest one ?

if so, do I also get other repairs from them? such as body crack, dent repairs, etc.

Hi welcome to SAU and it's nice to see more people like you who think outside of the garden variety falcodore square.

Firstly, Nissan Service centres won't touch grey imports.

But being in NSW, we're in luck.

With your postcode, there is a recommended service centre, repairer, tuner and engine rebuilder at Unigroup Engineering at Girraween. The man's name is Yavuz and he won't sell you anything you don't need.

For service & repair of Skylines in your/our area, there are places in

i) Peachtree Rd Penrith (name of place escapes me)

ii) Faulconbridge Automotive at Faulconbridge (ie Darren and Michael)

iii) Steve's Autobarn Blackheath (ie Steve Phillips)

These all have clients who own GT-Rs too.

Be sure to only take your car to specialist mechanics who really know skylines, there are many many horror stories of people getting fked over by their local mechanic. I took my r34 to my local mechanic for a simple clutch change, took 5 days and he cut a hole in the bell housing, simply because he didn't know how to change a pull-type clutch.

Thanks for the info!

It really saved a lot of my time trying to find one

I've visited Unigroup Engineering the other day. There was 2 other GT-Rs outside which they were working on

and I got a booking for my car services. thumbsup.gif

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
