Hi guys,

I am in need of doing a major service for my auto R34.I have already bought a kit incuding the following from Kudos Motorsport.

  • 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

Firstly, I would just like to ask if I should purchase anything else on my own accord, rather than get it supplied by a mechanic to save on expenses?

Secondly, can anyone recommend a mechanic in Adelaide to perform the major service? Someone experienced in this area, as well as charging a reasonable price.

Thirdly, as I have not had a 'general service' on the car in sometime, what else is recommended to be completed on the car in conjunction with the major service? I should mention I had the solenoids, a shift kit, and transmisson service done last year.

Any responses, would be a great help.

Thanks

A 'major' service should include brake fluid, spark plugs, coolant, driveline fluids and filters(air, fuel, pollen etc.) But this varies from manufacturers so its up to you. Personally I would buy all that stuff because mechanics will charge up on all that stuff even though he will get it cheap.

Cant help you out on a workshop cause im in Sydney.

Hope this helps

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
