Hey all,

My line has just clicked over to 99,000kms so im now starting to look to get the 100kms service done

With my old car (EF Falcon) it took me ages to find someone who knew what they were doing, who did the job right and didnt screw you over including with the price

also does anyone know roughtly how much i should budget for this? and whats involved?

many thanks

Adam

adam, when my car hit 100,000km i took it to Hyperdrive, they did and awsome job now i got back to them for evert services and mod/dyno work (got the car book in 2morrow for a services)

Ken is also always welling to help and talk to you about any problems you have.

If i remember right it cost me around $1000 for my major services, that was everything from gearbox/diff oil to timing belt, i also had my brake pads change too

Drop a line to Phil of Phil's Mechanical on 0894933069 email [email protected] or pm Philmech on the forum.

He is a RAW on R33's and he knows Skylines like the back of his hand, just need to tell him you got his details off the forum.

He is at Maddington so not sure how far you live from him, a few people from the forum take their cars to him when nobody else can fix it so a 100,000 klm service is easy.

His pricing is very good compared to other places around town for servicings and that is what you want.

I wouldnt see so many cars with SAU stickers if he didnt know what he was doing.

He is busy but looks after R32/33/34 owners and other imports as the list goes on.

Wow, is a 100'000km service $1000??? Re: Michael... "including your brakes"

I wouldnt have expected that much!!

Better start saving up!!

Yeap AlphA, but i got only the best, all my oil's very the top oils, so it all addeds up in the end, i got the list of what was done, i also had platium(spelling) plugs, and someother stuff done

Slightly off-topic but who can install the biki roms in an r32 ecu?

I heard lucas/aj from speedworks can do this, can Ken from Hyperdrive do this or not?

Looks like thats the option ill be taking in future hints why im interested to know!

How did you go with finding a workshop.

i just went to ultratune... or even your original guy.. just tell em what u need and they'll do it all for you.. most cars are the same..

i guess if u'r after tuning then take it to specialist shops..

Ultra Tune kingsway does a good job.

He owns an 11 second car himself so he knows what he is doing.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
