fuel filter = $40 from Kudo Motorsports

Transmission Fluid - 2 x Transmax Z 4L = $150 from supercheap(cant seem to find it online ANYWHERE)

Coolant = $50 from supercheap (what would you guys recommend and how much needed for full flush?)

brake Fluid - 2x motul dot5.1 = $60 from ebay -> http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649

Timing belt kit + ancillary kit - kudo motorsports = $520

coolant hoses - $115 from ebay -> http://www.ebay.com....984.m1438.l2649

= $1128

Anything else you guys would recommend I add for the 100k service? A part that would be better suited? Lemme know :)

OMFG why ebay?

Motul 4100 is cheaper instore (like $45-55), a Ryco filter is like $10-15

I hope you have an automatic transmission if putting Transmax Z in (don't put this in Getrag 6 speeds, they need genuine fluid)

Wow I can get genuine Nissan coolant concentrate cheaper than that.

Brake Fluid: Motul RBF600 is cheaper (like $30-35 a bottle at bike shops) and higher boiling point than 5.1

Diff oil might be pointless if it's a viscous LSD (just need regular oil for them)

Don't touch cheap silicone, they're shit. Just go with genuine Nissan hoses or Gates (cheaper than genuine) hoses

You may also want to list what your car actually is.

hmm this has given me alot to think about

Car is 1997 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-25t S2

Automatic Gearbox

Pretty sure the diff is limited slip

Reason im ordering from eBay is because its SO much easier then having to find a store that stocks that and then pick some up...however can you direct me to a store that stocks Motul(always assumed eBay was substantially cheaper though....)

My radiator hoses looked like they where letting go and cracking , assumed silicon ones would of sufficed(with an apparent 12 month warranty). If they are utter rubbish then I'L just go with oem , but even the oem ones are around $120 for just the bottom and top radiator hoses....

Guys if any of you know of places be it online or in actual shops that stock these items please let me know

cheers

As I said before, if it's a viscous LSD which you have unless you've taken a mechanical diff off a GTR or put an aftermarket LSD in, the LSD part on a viscous diff is sealed. LSD oil won't hurt it but it is $100 down the drain though.

As for oil, check for alternatives in the "Goods on oils" sticky in this forum because $80 will buy you a *proper* synthetic oil at supercheap if that's the only local store near you. Examples are GW syn-x 6000, royal purple HPR, castrol edge, motul 8100 x-cess/x-max, penrite racing 10 tenths etc. Motul 4100 while great, is still but a semi-synth, $90 + filter is just too much for it.

$40 fuel filter? z201 is $26 at supercheap

cheers guys , throughly spent days looking through all the threads I could find before coming down to this list.

hmm , Ive bought from supercheap before and while I know their tools arent comparable to what they stock...I just feel like its a shitty budget store for the common falcondore owner....guess i need to get that thinking out of my head....just that i dont think ive ever seen brands like motul and royal purple in my local supercheap store, also service and the knowledge of those who work there are horrendous...and way overpriced....

will Ryco oil /fuel filters be sufficient for my needs? ( only looking to get around 230-250rwkw on a safe tune)

thanks for the advice , will look elsewhere for oil and just pickup a ryco filter(if it will suffice for my power figure and be as reliable as can be)

only doing this service once and while Im certainly not the richest person on this board , I want to do it once and do it right, with the best parts available.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
