Anyone out there with a RB Engine or SR Engine who wants thier oil or spark plugs changed and doesnt have the time to do it yourself?

I can do it for you, and if you dont live too far from the Adelaide CBD i'll come to you and help you out.

Oil Change - $30 labour - should be changed every 6000kms if you have a turbo

- Recommend Shell Helix Ultra

Spark Plugs - $30 labour - should be changed every 8000kms

- Recommend NGK Coopers 7 Series(Colder - Handles extra boost better) 0.8mm

Coolant flush - $30 labour - should be changed once a year if your picky

- Recommend Honda, Subaru coolant that you can buy from dealers

but I'd rather use red line water wetter mixed with distilled water. I can get this for you too from the store but you could probably get it cheaper if you did your research.

You can provide all the stuff, I'll just put it in for you.

But i can go down to sprint or motor traders to get it for you if your that lazy.

PM me if interested.

No catch, I just like working on these cars and that small pocket money allows me to save for my crash repairer bill.

:O

Gear box oil will be difficult without access to a pit or hoist, as normally the drain and top up screws are done up by some sumo in japan with a fetish of doing up screws tight, so u need quite some leverage space to get those bastards out.

:D

I can now do your diff oil onsite providing your car isnt too low and I can sqeeze under thier.

No one interested yet? Is everyone paying garages to do this? Why not get it done cheaper and onsite!

I prefer skylines, cause those sr20 oil filters are a bitch to take off.

do you think that you can give me a hand with removing an oil filter from a sr20. Ive tried many wrenches with no luck, the dam oil filter itself is too small and confined. But i did replace it once before just cant now for some reason.

noz you need to jackup the car then if you take out the speedo cable at the rear of the gearbox on a SR it will drain the fuild then undo the nut on the side of the gearbox and run a hose into the hole get out from under the car a pour a bottle of g/d fuild in presto instant g/b oil change no need for pit

that sounds pretty straight forward. i'd follow these step when changing the g/b fluid. But what i need help with though is removing the oil filter. When i last changed it, i think i placed one which does not allow me to have enough leverage to twist the filter off and ive tried all tyres of oil filter wrenches with no success. Ive seen another type, non clamping and twisitng anti-closewise model, where you just place it over the filter and tighten a screw then twist. The only one with this is that the handle you use to twist seems to be too long to have enough clearance to undo the filter. any suggestions.

I like the good ol Copper v-groove sparky's (BCPR6E for .8mm gap).

Motor traders are the cheapest.

They don't appear to foul as easy when running the car a little rich.

In the past I've had one set in as long as 25,000km's running 1-1.1bar without missing a beat. I pulled them out and they still looked perfect. Threw new ones in and didn't notice any difference. :(

Hey Nozila,

I have a tool with mods that I can do it with. I've changed it around 5 times in my life time with hands only all where bitches, but using this thing made it a little easier, but its still a bitch.

I surely can do it. Get into contact with me.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
