Well my car is coming close to 100,000 km's on the ticker meaning I've got a serious service to save up for I'm assuming.

Just wondering what your 'typical' 100,000 km’s service consists of & how much it might cost?

Can the costs be reduced if say I order some of the parts myself. I know I'm going to need a new timing belt, & new exhaust & turbo gasket. I’m sure there’s plenty other parts too.

I’m in Syd ‘Northern Beaches’ too so recommendations to mechanics in Syd would be appreciated. Just along as they don’t cost an arm & a leg. I found my local mechanic around the corner in Newcastle was great, cost f#ck all & did good work. I usually like dealing with the smaller mechanic shops, more personable & cheaper.

Probably look about $1k

Cost me around $1k included:

Timing belt

Water pump

Cam Seals

Brake Pads

Brake machining

All oils/filters (diff gbox etc)

Tune

Pulled starter motor apart and cleaned it (was making horrible noises)

And lots of other small random things, perished lines etc.

Now I did the plugs oil/filters myself and bought a new O2 sensor so this made it slightly cheaper

Hmmm ok

I've already had:

Brake Rotors Machined

ECU Dyno tuned

Starter motor rebuilt *mine was making fuct up noises too hahaa.

Things I'm wanting to get done is:

Re oil everything 'like LSD yeah...

New timing belt 'that goes without saying

New exhuast manifold gasket & bolts '1 Bolt snapped & have a minor minor leak which would be eating away at the gasket.

The rest should just be the typical 100k service business.... Maybe I should just get a GT 3040 & new manifold while all that gear is being removed for the service hah. I wish.

Thats the way I was thinking, and now im selling my car because of it, such a money pit.

I used to spend a bit of money on my car, but since I moved outa home to sydney I simply dont have the money to spend anything on my car anymore it sucks, it's forced discipline really. Most my money goes into bills & big Saturday nights now...

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
