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?

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.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
