100k Service Comparison

[flex]

hi guys!

My line has nearly reached 100,000 kms and i'm looking around for a place that does a good job at servicing it. What is involved within a 100k service? What is the price I should watch out for, incase I get ripped off. Is tuning involved within a 100k service? Any recommendation would be appreciated, or any experiences encountered.

thanks guys!

timing belt! if you have not changed it since you got your car do it! i changed a lot of stuff when i got the car and then changed the timing belt at 80,000... don't risk going to 100,000

[Jetdat]

do your timing belt and water pump. i just had mine done, paid about $600 which to me seemed a bit high.

lets hope the workmanship is worthy of the price!

Just booked my 'line in for its 100k service (done 93k) at FTG Nissan... gonna cost about $650... this seems to be about the normal price I've found, after searching the numerous threads on this topic.

have they provided you with a list of things they will do?

[Lukas]

Yeah, they told me basically everything inark has mentioned and other threads list, however they said they would only replace the water pump if it needs to be, or I want it to.

A word of warning cheap quotes mean cheap oils

A skyline gearbox should run two types of oils if you want them to last:

Redline shockproof blue- $150 retail for 5 ltrs

Syntrax 75-90w + teflon treatment =$110 from Bursons, autobarn etc

Good quuality engine oil- (everybody should know about this already.)

Diff oils- Same as gearbox either redline or Syntrax

In fact if you go to the redline website and type in your engine and car type it will list all the different oils, product no's etc and when they should be changed.

You shouldn't take any chances and if you can afford redline your better off buying it as some of the more experienced skyline owners will know just how expensive taking a shortcuts on maintience can be!

The redline website also lists all the shops that sell it in Melb- and Aust

B Garage in Syd quoted me $1100 for a 100,000k service for my dad's ceffy. My R32's almost at the 100,000k mark as well, but I guess I'll do most of the work on that myself.

just had my car done by gavin wood on the coast $1200 was not expecting it to be so high but what can i do

after reading a few post i would suggest getting your own idler bearings from somewhere and save yourself a few hundred $$$
