Hey guys,

can someone please advise me of a decent place in Sydney to go to get my first service done on my R33?...

Need the works done full service and a possible change of timing belt! I have no I dea where to go. I was thinking of taking it to that ADVAN place in silverwater that have a store in NZ as well they seem to know what they are talking about.

Is that a good plave or is there somewhere else you think i should be taking it to?.

Thanks.

Hey dude I just had a service and timing belt change on my 33 at advan the service was great and it was the cheapest out of the major import mechanics I tried. They did an overall check on the car and they seem very reliable.

I rang a performance mechanic in tuggerah on the central coast who does mechanical services and enhancements on modified cars but I didnt end up getting a quote.

Hey Jimbo, they basically replaced the cam belt and did a thorough all over check. Nothing was really replaced because everything was in good condition or fairly clean

A friend of mine just got his stock R33 GTS-T serviced by a company listed above.

$170 odd for an overall check, new oil filter + oil and i think that was about it.

If you want my advice do the following at home

Oil Filter

Oil

Fuel Filter

Clean AirPod.

It will cost you about $70-80 for parts and about 2hrs of your time. And probably save you around $150-200 in labour.

hi,

a good work shop charge around $60 in pure labour alone.

so $390=6.5hr. and again this is an overall charge which includes the spark plugs checking and changing the belts.

fair price i guess.

im no mechanic but i do a lot of work on many cars.

these are things i would do to save money as BENM said:

eng oil

oil filter

fuel filter

coolant

air cleaner

spark plugs

transmission fluids

brake fluids (more complicated)

brake pads

etc.

and if we have trouble of doing any of the simple works we can always jump on the forum and ask others for advice.

hope this is of any help

ron

      Chips/Dents in wheels

      that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
