Water Pump Needs Replacing, And Probably Time To Do The 100K Service As Well.


Recommended Posts

My water pump has been leaking for awhile. At first a really slow leak, but now it seems to lose more water. I've been topping it up all the time, but I know it's time to get a new water pump installed.

Even though my car hasn't done the km's I think it's also wise to get the 100,000km service done too and this will probably save me money in the long run.

I got a quote for $900 to replace the water pump with a genuine JDM (?) unit and also replace the belts, tension pulley thing and whatever else that needs to be replaced for the 100k service. Is that a decent price or are there guys on here who do this service for less.

Yeah I get stuff from Kudos quite often. Great guys.

Boost that's a pretty decent price of $250, but not sure I can wait much longer. Car is leaking quite a bit now, so time to stop delaying and get it dealt with.

DVS JEZ, I'm located on the Gold Coast, what part of the Central Coast are you?

Got my waterpump replaced today at ERD in Stapylton as well as getting the 100k service done. Figure it will save me $$ in the long run as I won't have to double up on the labour costs getting the 100k done when it's actually time to get it done. So it's now done, just a bit early is all :)

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
