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.

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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
