hey guys im new to SAU, i have done a fair amount of searching on the forums, as i am looking for a list of part numbers for my 1998 er34 running an rb25det neo.

everything under the hood is stock, except the exhaust, its in dire need of its 100 thou service, and im busy rounding up parts, i also need to know the best oil for engine, trans, diff, best coolant to use. bearing in mind this car is only for street use at this point in time, i would still like to spend that little extra to make sure she runs sweet. here's what ive got so far:

1.air filter = RYCO A360

2.fuel filter = RYCO Z200

3.oil filter = RYCO Z145A

4.engine oil = CASTROL edge 0w40

5.sparkplugs = NGK PFRGG-11, or iridium BKR6EIX-11

6.timing belt = BOSCH BT1040H

are these good choices? if not, can you list a better one, and also, part numbers/names i dont have yet are:

7.tensioner pulley =

8.idler pulley =

9.air con belt =

10.power steering belt =

11.brake pads =

12.clutch fluid =

13.brake fluid =

14.coolant =

15.thermostat =

16.oxygen sensor =

17.water pump =

18.injectors (stock?) =

19.coil packs =

im sure there is many more parts that need the occasional replace, but im new to imports and skylines in particular, and by new i mean a total noob :P any help would be greatly appreciated, the more recommendations the better, as it will help build a solid list of parts for this model.

I am more then happy to help people on this forum identify and replace any lighting bulbs, both exterior and interior in the r34, as i have done a complete refit of every bulb in the car, and i can also detail any particulars and diy to help you install custom bulbs yourself, even with a few pictures included.

cheers lads, ladies, and haters:D

i've heard Ferodo brake pads are pretty good, but i've already purchased a set of Bendix pads for my service.

coolant that my tuner uses for my r34 is calibre long life coolant (anti-freeze/anti-boil) 20bux at supercheap.

you should have a look at the kudos website they are sau trader, you will find genuine nissan parts and aftermarket stuff including part numbers.

contrary to popular belief and despite all their marketing, Castrol oil is not actually that good. It's too thin for Australian summers and doesn't offer the same protection and temperature stability as the other synthetic oils.

Of the common brands, Penrite, Mobil or Motul IMO. anything from 0w to 15w depending on kms.

I work at repco, ill have a look on monday for some part numbers for ya ;)

Ferrodo pads are shite. A budget option at best. I've heard of pads on a Territory last less than 12,000 kms (normal driving). Unless you get thermo quiets, they're a lot better. Bendix CT pads still take the cake for affordable pads.

you should be able to buy the bosch timing belt and pullies as a kit

platinum/iridium plugs are massive waste of money, get some copper plugs like a BCPR6E

as above Castrol oil isn't what is commonly used by most skylines owners that have a clue, got for the gold mobil 1 or motul 8100 xcess

why would you replace your fuel injectors? at best get them cleaned and flow tested

are yu having issues with your coilpacks ie. missing? because if not then you don't need to replace your coilpacks either.

so Mobil 0w40 is the way to go then? when i purchased the car it came with a 5litre of castrol 0w40 in the boot, so i assumed twas' decent, ill look into chaning it, should i flush the oil out with a random crappy oil before changing to mobil? work at repco? LEGEND!

1 of the 34's is having a strange uneven idle, not really bad, just sound unusual, was suggested somewhere it was probably my coilpacks on the way out( have no idea how to test them:S). injectors would be something ill be needing to change in the near future on the other 34, i have no idea why, as my mechanic didnt specify, but ill be sure to double check with him what the deal is on injectors.

do you happen to know if you can get the pulleys as a seperate item to match the belt? i already have the belt, found it in the boot with some castrol oil :D, i doublechecked it to make sure it was the right one, apparently previous owner was getting ready for 100thou service, but decided to sell due to financial difficulty, poor bugger. cheers for the help

Get genuine timingbelt and tensioners from nissan dealership - their prices are not so bad for these items.

Probably a good time to get a new waterpump too.

Brake pads - go genuine too - but it is on the pricey side.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
