I have a few questions about costs of some things that can be faulty in a GTR...I have no idea about them and would like to know what a replacement will cost before I go out and buy one soon...

ok heres what I have on top of my head, but if I missed anything please let me know :mad:

Water Pump

Timing Belt

Other Belts (AC, PS, Fan Belt...)

Fuel Pumps (front and rear)

Are the above things easy enough to replace, or should they be done professionally?

Then theres some other things:

Oil Filter

Brake Pads

Spark Plugs & Leads

Battery (whats the standard CCA for a GTR?) (I have a 500CCA Optima, that should be good, right!)

Is it easy enough to find a BOSS kit for a steering wheel for a GTR?

:P

there's only one fuel pump...cost depends on what you want. A Bosch 040 or 044 will set you back around $350 or so...

Water pump is around $200 from Nissan if I'm not mistaken

Oil filters are cheap, say around $15-$20

There are no spark plug leads in a Skyline

The Optima is fine, I have a D34M

Crank collar for oil pump drive

cost?

come to think of it , I have never actually seen any in pictures etc...

genuine water pump is $300+ from Nissan, timing belt is around $90. Best do both at the same time and unless you know what your doing it would be better to have it done or at least get some help from someone that does (eg crank pulley bolt is done up to around 250ftlb's and getting it undone is a bitch even with the right tools).

Other belts can be bought aftermarket (Burson's etc), probably $15-$20 each.

There's only one fuel pump - in the tank

Genuine Nissan water pump is $132 including gst .

The crank pulley bolt is very easy to undo using the starter method .

If you dont know what you are doing you should let the pros do it , it will cost you heaps more if you stuff up.

Timing belt from Nissan is about $80 , half that for aftermarket , drive belts are all less than $20 each atermarket .

Spark plugs depends on what you buy , about $13 each for platinum .

Coil packs from about $650 per set .

Genuine Nissan water pump is $132 including gst .

Genuine R32 GTR pump is close to 3 times that ....suggest you re-check your price with Nissan (I have...and I get these for trade). R33 GTR pump is around that price, BUT it doesn't fit R32 GTR without mods which are beyond the capabilities of most. Could be fitted without the mods but would risk a leak....

As for using the starter motor...I don't agree with such dodges, but am not going to argue about it...to each there own. At the end of the day you've still got to do it up again.....

Yea you are correct thats for a 33 or 34 pump , i wouldn't pay $300 for a 32 .

The starter is a good way to undo the bolt , i use a 3/4 " rattle gun where possible to undo and a ring gear tool to hold the engine from turning to do it up if the engine is out .

coil packs sit over the spark plugs, thats why they don't have leads

I got a N1 water pump for my GTST when I had it brand new for 150 from just jap, give them a call and ask how much, I have my receipt at home for the GTR one somewhere, I'll look it up, I don't think it would have been that much different

Services every 5-7K (finding time is hard)

Oil $40-$50 ? I'm about to do my first one so if someone can suggest a brand it would be great

Spark plugs $3.75 each from peps. NGK copper 7's

Filter $10-$15 depending on brand

Does anyone else drive there GTR daily? I'm finding I'm racking up alot of km's, more then when I had my GTST

Does 'nightly' count? After 11:30pm until about 1am or I see enough cop cars and decide to go home. But I've only had my GTR for 2 weeks.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
