Dear All,

How long (in hours) is expected to change/perform the following... i've been doing some research and just want to know if the mechanics are quoting way too long to do things. I find in this day and age everyone is out there to steal a buck, and I dont feel like getting robbed. Im after how long in labour and how much is the general charge per hour. I've been quoted so far 6 hours at $115.00 per hour??

  • 1 x Genuine Nissan, Water Pump
  • 1 x Genuine Nissan, Timing Belt
  • 1 x Genuine Nissan Cam & Front Crank Seal Set
  • 1 x Genuine Nissan Tensioner Bearing Spring
  • 1 x NSK Timing Belt Idler Bearing (Nissan OEM)
  • 1 x NSK Timing Belt Tensioner Bearing (Nissan OEM) ($415.00 all of the above)
  • 1 x Clutch Release / Throw-Out Bearing - Genuine Nissan - Skyline R32 GTR (02/1993 - On), R33 GTR & R34 GTR / 25GT-t – Nissan Part No - 30502-12U00 ($65.00)

Is there any other parts I should be sourcing for this service whilst its getting done. Should I also look at replacing the ancillary belts as well.

Genuine Nissan Ancillary Drive Belt Set (Water Pump/Alternator, Power Steering & Air-Conditioning) $130.00.

All prices quoted from Kudos for the parts.

Regards

Wanna see the mother of all Harmonic Balancer stories! Behold my battle began 3 weeks ago and still don't have the oil pump off to do the front seal.

This should scare you into bringing it to a shop. $700 would have been a bargain for me!

Eric i died when i watched your video.....................patience is with you my friend.

Not to confuse anyone, the 6 hours i was qutoed was just for the 100kms service only.....doesnt include doing the thrust bearing..... I'm going to confirm this and will report back.

I just thought with so many mechanics and so many experienced members on SAU surely we can work out for those who arent as mechancially minded or are time poor (as for myself) what is a rough guide for major servicing and the big ticket items, eg: remove and refit engine, remove and refit gearbox etc........

Thanks to all those who replied so far...

Chris.

Just to keep you all updated....

Its like an email asking for a quote with some detailed isnt something most mechanics are used. I have emailed most of the shops talked about on this thread, disappointingly two of which i am a prior customer spending big bucks.......... Others i have emailed, and im yet to receive a response. Out of five high end workshops in Western Sydney i have received 2 replies.

Anyway, if i get more detail will again post what i find out.

I think we need a SAU workshop that supplies parts, fitting and repairs etc in the one location in Western Sydney lol.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
