200, 000Kms Service

My car is just over 200,000km but I've done a lot of preventative stuff over the years.

These are the things I would do:

1. normal service (oil, air filter, oil filter, fuel filter)

2. coolant (I use water with low-gylcol "racing" concentrate)

3. thermostat (genuine nissan, not low-temp), and top/bottom radiator hoses if you haven't changed them ever.

4. All belts (timing, water, accessory)

5. Idler bearing, tensioner bearing and retaining bolt. (kit from Kudos)

6. Cam cover gaskets, including screw cushion thingies and half-moons (need automotive silicon - the black stuff) - did mine last week and painted while off.

7. gearbox oil (Redline MT-90)

8. Diff oil (synthetic)

9. Power steering fluid

Things I would pay careful attention to:

10. All water hoses (if you haven't ever changed them) - can use mostly generic Repco hoses (except the 4 behind engine for heater core as they are super twisty) - I have a DIY post on here.

11. Low-pressure power steering lines (if never changed), pretty easy job with generic straight hose sizes (have some here I can measure - and also have a DIY post on here somewhere I think)

FWIW I have an RB25 Gates racing belt here, used for 20 minutes. You can have for $50 - I'm 5 minutes from you - if you are in Brighton.

Wish I had known bout belt sooner. XD got all the above parts already and going non-gylcol racing coolant and I'm a tight arse so I'm only useing water. Coolant flush removes scale so no biggie there. Just brought all my fluid today just got home and after reading this realised I forgot to grab some formagasket -.-

Yeah it sucks to get half-way through and realise you forgot something critical. then no wheels to get to supercheap. happens almost every time.

    • Hi guys. Title … Bought new genuine hazard switch and new genuine flasher relay, indicators now work but hazards still not working. Hazard fuse all good tested with a multimeter.  Tested hazard wiring, I’m a div forgot to test with button actually pressed in, nevertheless, here’s what I measured with hazard button disengaged… 1st wire - red - 0v 2nd wire - green/red -12v 3rd wire - white/green - 12v 4th wire - blue/red - 0v 5th wire - black - 0v 6th wire - white - 0v 7th wire -  green/black - 0v 8th wire - blue/white 5.95v Does this look okay? - can anyone confirm if the hazard has its own relay , separate from the indicator relay ? Apparently r33 has two relays ?   Racking my brain trying to figure it out 😭    
    • New alignment and matching tires is great and f*ck me are the German roads fast. Took another trip to the Nurburgring yesterday with my buddy and the car feels great in the dry - a lot of mechanical grip. In corners at 140-160kph I felt like I could keep going.
    • Has anyone else been swarmed by morons with cell phones taking pictures of their car? A few of you may know, I recently moved from Japan to Europe and brought my R34 with me. Since arriving I've driven the car a handful of times and without fail have had people filming/taking photos of me with the car to a point where it's becoming annoying and a bit hazardous. Yesterday, whilst driving with my buddy (R32 GTR) on the highway, I spotted three cars pulling alongside with some twat hanging out the window recording with his phone. This one VW Golf came alongside in the passing lane and held position preventing me from being able to pull out and pass slower traffic in my lane so I gestured to him to F*ck off.  It seems when people have approached me, in the car park, at work (drove there once - mistake), gas station etc. they ask the same questions: "why doesn't it have a wing?" and "how much power does it have?"; the latter has been met with pure disappointment when I told the kid it's stock. Of course, Japan was a totally different story, the people are a lot more subtle and have never bothered me about my car or have been polite in doing so. Has it always been like this in Western countries, and what are your experiences? I just don't recall this ever, or maybe I didn't have a nice enough car back when I was growing up in the UK. I've taken the R34 out a total of six times since it landed and besides going to the Nurburgring area it's becoming more of a pain than anything.   
    • I had a similar situation with my R32 GTS4. I replaced that solenoid, but it hasn't solved the problem. So its possible the pump is failing. It seems you need to drop the diff in order to do anything that might fix this. So its important to know exactly what the problem is. Or just replace / repair everything while the diff is out.
    • Yep, I was supprised. Its all about flow rather then housing size.  Doing G35-900 Vs ATR45SS-1 Next. 62mm V 61mm.
