Guys,

what can I expect to pay for a 100,000km service on the R33 Gt-R - it hasn't had the belts replaced, and the normal service is due too.

Anybody has any idea?

Also - anybody recommending any good shops in Melbourne, preferable on the east, south-east side to do the work.

should be looking at about $1k for everything.

best thing would be to call up

since its a gtr and your melb, i'd reccomend racepace but most decent shops should be able to help

you out

would 1K be with the replacement of the water pump, or just oils,filters, timing belt?

Find what parts you need and do a bit of a dig around. Genuine RB26 water pumps for example can be bought for peanuts from the US. Same with most other parts.

Do this yourself and you'll save heaps just ask the shop of your choice what you need and go and get it.

Labour wise i would expect to pay around the $500 or so at most shops.

Thanks for this advice - I'm thinking along the same lines - damn, 1K or 1.5K - that's a lotsa a coin.

umm...not really...

Might be 1.5k if you don't have anything but drivetrain fluids to flush and replace and with engine oil change. Expect it to blow out exponentially if anything is wrong with the car. For example. Just had mine done and had to replace both o2 sensors (car was running very rich) and both rear brake pads. Parts alone for those 2 things added up to another 8-900 dollars. Plus more labour. Rb26 is a prick of a job from what I hear. 4wd fluid has to be changed. Transfer case fluid has to be changed. Hicas has to be checked... Etc. with the extra bits and bobs I actually had a good 2.5k ish to do that service. 1-1.5 is what I'd expect and have seen a normal 100 000 km service on a gtst cost. With nothin wrong with the car. It is expensive but well worth it.

kudos motorsport sells 100k service kits. I'd give them a call, andrew sullivan was a world of help for me.

ONLY GO TO A PERFORMANCE MECHANIC. And only one who has been recommended to you, or has a couple of gtr's sitting out front. Any old mechanic will say they can do the job, but you want it done right and you don't want to pay for them to learn.

I went to see a mechanic that usually works on the Porsches and Audi's - and had them do the job for me. They've done work on GT-R's before but they are not a PERFORMANCE shop as such. Then again, I had very famous performance shop suggest I use VMX80 in my tranny - so much for "performance" suggestions.

He got a whole kit for me, all brand new, timing belt, tensioner bearings, water pump, all the ancilliary belts, new battery and a coolant flush - all up just over 800.

800 for parts and labour? That's pretty amazing.

Point on mechanics is, plenty will say they can do the job, and have done the job, when that plainly isnt the case. There have been a lot of bad experiences documented on here

correct - parts and labour. So far so good ;)

I got a $700 quote for labour, though the mechanic didn't know what he was doing, it's easy to get ripped. That was when I terrifyingly realised I had no proof the 100k service was done, and was going to get it redone just in case. Luckily I found the sticker hidden away under the engine bay just in time to cancel the ordered parts.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.

      Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that.

      Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.

      You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
