Read above. I value peoples advice here then some random in QLD. As far as I know , oil differes to location (hot/cold). Also , I wouldn't trust somone I don't know with Rosie. Everyone is a mechanic on the forums apparently, also it generates discussion.

I don't really venture to other parts of the forum too much as I'd rather take advice from people here.

You could copy paste what is said in another thread and I'd believe it is the way to go. Don't see why it's such a big deal. Whenever I say I'll get a mechanic to do the 5K I'm always hassled by everyone (in and out of the community) to do it myself, when I say I am I get hassled. Lucky I said I wasn't going to buy a CArbon fibre oil filter - shit would hit the fan.

Numbers and letters next to each other doesn't mean much to me. I'd rather not go looking around the forums and getting mixed up with some other oil and dumping it in. I know very basic about oil etc but it's something I don't want to get wrong. I've done research on many other things which don't hit the forums but if it's something to do with the engine I'd rather not read biased discussions from 2006 and go straight to the people who know. I suck learning via reading because names and such don't make sense. So I was going to get my shopping lost and get the stuff and put it in. Anthony gave good pointers on how to do something's. However, I've never known what is actually done in a 5k service so thought I'd ask the pros. My mistake clearly lol

If you have only had the car for the last 5k kms, and haven't change every thing that has fluid. I suggest doing that, change everything that has fluid. Depends on how far you want to go. Brakes, clutch, gearbag, diff and engine/filter. First thing I did when I got my skyrine, was change everything. The seller said, oh nar bro everything has bin dun aye. In short, he was full of sh!t.

The only way your going to learn, is to get off the internetz and do something. Not trying to sound rude. But it's always good to learn the basics yourself. It will save you a bucket load in the long run. Leave all the big stuff to mechanics.

I just pour my oil through a few pieces of coffee filter paper then pop it back in and swish some kero around in the filter and bang it back on no worries then test it out going gutter to gutter on the limiter to make sure the oil is worked through the motor.

Hope that helps.

"oh nar bro everything has bin dun aye"

Classic. :laugh:

Whats on the inside of the filter is most important.

I get my oil filters from the Filter Factory in fyshwick, they are the best quality. Easy.

They can look up the info on your motor and sell you the perfect filter for it.

Choosing oil: you can go see a reputable RB mechanic (Trojan) for advice as the condition of your engine may affect choice.

Go the random fonts, whats up with that?

This thread really should be in a different section too. For local sections, threads like this should be more "Can someone please help me to do a Service on my car?" (maybe local wasteland would be okay). People would be willing to help you out but at the moment it does seem like you're trying to increase your post count and not utilising the tools made available to you.

Please keep the trash in the wasteland. If I was farming posts I'd be posting in the "One word thread". Hnnnng.

Besides, this was a local call out on their thoughts. Don't see why it's so hard to add to it like other people have. If you feel that the thread is a "waste" I strongly suggest you don't open the thread - would appear as common sense to me.

ontopic - I'm sure Rob is more than keen to give me a hand, however, Rob helps me with Rosie with everything. I thought I'd give something a try - given I am new to the Skyline scene let alone the car scene in general.

You should take the car to a reputable mechanic. This thread adds to the rest of the crap on the forum. It would be beneficial if there was a sarcasm font.

Exactley. If you can be bothered to do even attempt to do your own research, just reside in the non-car topic threads. Threads like this and the 1k thread is turning the A.C.T section into the "Skyline Fanboy Muppet" section.

Are you serious?

m8, I'm trying to get 2k posts with my 4.1 post per day, leave me alone :(

Is one example amongst many that are littered with in the ACT section. Is it also common sense to speed past someone to teach them a lesson for speeding through traffic? Or even that speeding is any less dangerous than drifting?

Personally for me the "One Word Association Thread" is Not about increasing my post count but having some fun. Remember fun? It's FUN! :laugh:

and yes... I am glad to assist you Jeremy and am quite willing to bark some orders at you and make you do it all yourself with my supervision.

The best way to learn is to get your hands dirty.

Rob's always offered to show me how to do a 5k Service and Rob being a TopsBloke he wouldn't say "Nah". However, He'll be sitting back drinking lemon juice telling me what to do :P

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
