Hey guys, I got my car recently and its soon due for a service. Can anyone recommend me a decent place to get it serviced? Preferably a place that specializes in Nissan or Skylines to be more specific and won't rip me off for not knowing little things.

What are some DIY and minor servicing that is easy and noob friendly (such as changing air filter or topping off oils and other fluids)?

Can I ask what part of W. Sydney you're in?

Members here have recommended servicing places at Haberfield, Wetherill Pk, Penrith and Blackheath.

Members here have vouched for tuning places at Marrickville and Girraween. They do servicing too but the rates are higher.

Whatever oil is used for an oil change, obtain the same oil (or at least the same type) for topping up.

You'll find the places you're after in the NSW subforum. This thread will probably be moved across to there.

Weatherill Park would be a good place for me to go or Smithfield. How can I find out what type of oil that's in my car at the moment?

That's the one I'm looking for! thanks!

You don't need to know what oil is being used at the moment.

Once it's been changed, then determine what oil is being used and keep an extra bottle as a spare.

Keep a log book up to date with an itemised list of what fluids and parts are being used too I'd say.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
