It all depends on how busted they are. If they are MEGA busted...there is some work involved.

I have all the crap to get 'em out and I don't have a problem doing it. I would just be doing some boring service otherwise. Might add some excitement to my day.

BTW people. I spoke to the boss about the trans flushes and he's going to work out something cheap. Stay posted.

Thanks

Mike

Free inspections of exhaust, suspension and brakes. Just don't ring up and say...I want a free inspection coz it gives us the shits... just ring and say you would like to have us check out your suspension or whatever. Ask for me if you like. I'll sort it out for you.

Sweet.. looks like I'll have to get my suspension checked out and also a quote on how to make it feel more tighter..... ;) what days do you usually work?

Ok, well it doesn't exactly sound cheap to me but here goes.

Retail on the flush by itself is $249 and has a gauranteed 98% flush. Which basically means that it is gauranteed to remove at least 98% of the old fluid including the converter.

The trans kit you can buy aftermarket from Repco and costs about $50 as opposed to the $100 from Nissan. Usually we charge around $40 plus the cost of the kit to do a trans kit.

That comes to a total of about $339.

The boss said he would do the flush for $199 OR if YOU supply the trans kit the whole lot for $225. I don't really know if that's a decent price because I never pay retail for anything and I don't know what everyone else charges.

Labour will be charged out at $60 per hour as opposed to $77 per hour.

For things like some oils that are $12 per litre (gearbox) retail you would only pay around $8 per litre.

The trans flush is inclusive of fluid of course and just to clear up, if you walk in with the trans kit in your hand, we will fit it and do a full flush for $225. If you just want the flush done it will cost $199.

Minor service costs $89 including Semi Synthetic oil (Castrol FMX Magnatec 15/40) and oil filter (Z145A). Also includes full inspection of all components for service, brakes, exhaust, suspension, driveline, interior. We can also diagnose engine faults as we have a state of the art diagnostic scan tool and I also have a PLMS Nissan Consult.

If you wish to provide your own oil and filter the service is $59.

So far so good, have had a few members come to our workshop and they seem to be pleased. Hopefully we will see more of you guys in the future.

hey daniel,

with this trans service you have quoted us for $225, does a 'flush' mean you are running something through it? or is it just removal and replacement of fluid?

i am more after just replacement of fluid then change of filter and sump gasket. i spoke to my (old) mechanic when i was down in melb and he thought it might have included a treatment as well for that price...

if yes, then how much for just a fluid change?

cheers,

Warren

Treatment is usually about $25 and yes that did include a treatment.

which means that if you supply the kit I will charge you $200 to fit it and do a full flush. You can buy the kit from REPCO and it costs like $55 or somewhere around that price. Just gimme a call sometime tomorrow. I am acting manager ATM so anyone else want even more discount.....this week is the time to do it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
