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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
