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! :rant:

replace all belts...

water pump...

all fluids inc diff, box, engine, brakes and power steering

drain the coolant and replace

oil filter, fuel filter

spark plugs

what else am i forgetting?

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.

What are others thoughts/experiences? :D

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

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

From UAS Major Service Guide:

Systems Check, reset memory, check all sensors and check for any fault codes.

Systems cleaner, (pressurised can with long bendy hose inserted in various locations to clean carbon build up in plenum chamber and tops of valves and ports as well as PCV and throttle body (s)

On line injection clean.

New Iridium Spark Plugs.

Compression test.

Water Pump. Optional N1 pump for Skylines and GTR

Thermostat

Cam belt

Drive belts.

Oil Filter

Fuel Filter

Check cam and crank seals for leaks

Check cam belt pullies

Check electrics, exhaust, suspension. Coolant hoses.

Gear oil 75w- 90 or if auto trans service extra $100.

Engine, gearbox and power steering get Uniglide treatment.

Clutch and brake fluid flushed and bleed.

Radiator and engine flush.

Clean and treat battery terminals.

Clean terminals to injector plugs, ignition coils.

Spray lubricant on throttle linkages and other.

Check and adjust water sprayers and additive used

Lubricate door hinges and strikers, bonnet latch, boot hinges, aerial mast.

Check and tighten sub frame and suspension and cross member bolts etc.

Tyre pressures checked and corrected.

Air filter replaced or if performance filters cleaned and re oiled.

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.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
