funkymonkey, u should just do the oil change urself. doesn't take long at all and will save u a shiat load of money. buy some decent oil and change it urself every 5000 or so k's. and then wen its due for the major service take it somewhere.

else some places charge like $75 just for oil change and inspection. not worth it.

anyone wanna tell me how to do it, which oils to change etc? I've always jus fanged it into my favourite service centa (which used to be tuffy's down the block from my house in Epping, NSW, here I dunno anyone.

Anyways, I don't have a garage, so if its too messy n complicated i wouldn't be able to do it. I could get a pan n stuff to drain it I guess.

What do I check every 5000k's n how? it sez on the japanese service manual but i can't read kanji.

Its for a 2.0L N/A r32... I'll probably pop into ICE once I hit 10k coz I really want sumone to give it a thorough check, right now it just needs a minor checkup.

Change oil every 5k no matter what is a good rule to go by. Most ppl use mobil one but there are always alternatives eg insanely expensive royal purple etc etc.

I change my own oil but im not sure hwat actaully happens in a 'major service' any1 knows what actaully gets done plz make a list:D

hey funkymonkey, its real easy, i just did it yesterday and i'm really no mechanic and not good at that sort of stuff, so anyone can do it.

go out and buy some engine oil, (best if u buy it on sale from k-mart or supercheapauto or something like that, u save quite a few bucks) buy the oil filter from autobarn z145a $10.

then let the car cool down a bit and just jack her up and drain the oil and pour the new one in. mite want to let the car down again wen ur draining the oil so that more of it comes out.

check ur oil, its prolly quite black by now if u haven't changed it in a while.

all up cost about $30. cost me around $20 for mobil S (semi synthetic, on sale from k-mart :D ) and $10 for ryco oil filter.

The ryco filters are pretty crappy and i think the authentic nissan filters are cheaper anyhow.

If u havent done it in a while u might also wanna think about buyin a bottle of oil flusher (think thats what the call it) loosens up all the oil so i drains better but it can also mean that u lose all that nice sticky stuff protecting ure engine.

A service once every 5k keeps the mechanic away...

For me and a few mates this is what we do :

5k intervals

Engine Oil with new oil filter

Gearbox Oil

Oil and Clean Pod Filter

Computer Reset (on thos with the stand ECU)

Inspection of pads/rotors/fluids/belts

10k

as above with

brake bleed

new fuel filter

flush radiator

compression test (helps when you mate is mech with all the good tools)

20k

as above again, but adding new spark plugs, new air filter element , brake pads usually

The Nissan 100k is pretty big and needs a workshop

all the above and :

change of all belts, water pump, alternator (?)...not to bad on the 'Lines as they have a timing belt...****ED if your doing it on a SR which has the chain...gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Thanks for the help guys..

I have another problem that i hope you can help me with..

One of my fan belts is half the original size (width ways) parts of it are shredding off and I desperately need a new one but no one seems to know the part number.

The belt is (as you look at the engine from the front) the bottom one on the right hand side.

If any one has any idea on the part number please email the email address below.....thanks.

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
