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.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
