Hey all

This weekend I will be servicing my GTR. Only owned it for a week but will do this for piece of mind and see if I can bump my fuel consumption up.

So far I have this planned

Engine oil - Royal purple 10w40

Gearbox oil - between Castrol Syntrans 75w85 or Penrite 75w with Nulon G70 additive

Spark plugs. Dont know which ones, copper plugs I think, no iridium for me.

Clean AMF with brake cleaner And check airfilter.

Then wash and wax that baby.

Anything else which would be easy that you guys can recommend. Or maybe just recommend me either a gearbox oil or a spark plug?

Cheers guys And stay posted, I will be updating this on completion and tell you how she runs.

Well here she is as well :).

Id suggest, fuel filter and radiator fluid aswell, and maybe even a engine oil flush, help clear sludge if there is any.

My secret to first ever oil change on your new car would be to drain oil after a flush is done, then fill with any normal cheapo oil (same grade if you can) take it for a quick spin up and down the street then drain it again and then change filter and oil, its a way i like to know that all the shity oil is completely out and your turbo oil lines are also refreshed with new oil. So next oil change will be a even better one :)

Thats my little suggestion.

Awsome gtr btw!

brake fluid is a good idea as well as clutch fluid.

Both extrememly easy to do, just need a helper to assist with bleeding.

If you really want to get into it, depending on condition, getting a rebuild kit for your callipers is not to expensive

Also agree with radiator flush. Not too expensive to get done properly.

Basically any fluid/filter you can do is a good idea, simply because you don't know the last time it was done.

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
