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.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
