Hey everyone,

Unlike the majority of guys and girls here, I am not 100% with all the bits and pieces on the Skyline, and am quite adamant to do any servicing or maintenance myself (oils, sparkies, o2 sensors etc.)

Usually for this type of dilemma I'd just consult a workshop and pay some guy to do it all... but I have read that people tend to rip you because you own a performance machine.

As such, I am seeking anyone who is confident with their Skylines (particularly R34s and RB25DETs) to help with some of the small things - paid for of course.

I'm seeking Northern Beaches people due to proximity to home but if anyone is genuine about it, I don't mind driving :cheers:

Thanks all! I know a lot of you may think its strange or whatever, but seriously - just not too confident with my knowledge of the car ~

Thanks all... at the moment just an oil change, new oil filter and change the sparkies to Iridiums. Possibly do the o2 sensor (Ford EL unit as well).

I have most of the gear ready.... just need a time and place (Sunday is most preferable since I work all 6 other days)

Can you guys just post up how much I'm looking at for something like that from one of you?

Cheers for the support ^^

Can I come and watch? Is there lots of parking at your house?

Im free Sunday too and would love to learn! :P

Dudes...

Beer and ample company or "spectators" are most certainly welcome... I will provide the beer (please put preferences).

As for the space where we're going to do it... Unless you like to work on cars at a 45 degree angle, my house is not good at all.

1 extra case of beer to the person who donates house as well :P

Also, I'm going to go buy the Motor Oil and o2 Sensor this weekend...

Any suggestions on which oil to use (Motul is the favourite on SAU) and where to get it from for cheap? If your answer is going to be Motul, please give me the number as well as there are a few available.

o2 sensor fron NTK or ACA... which one is better? And again, where should I buy it from?

Thanks

Compared to Motul is that better? I have heard several SAU members use that ELF.

Please work out a price for me then ;) Where is Powerplay Imports - obviously I'd need to pick it up from you~

It's great oil as it's 100% Synthetic and very reasonably priced.

Elf claim that it is a better quality oil to the Motul 300V and that it doesn't break down as easily asthe Motul does

We're on 82 Victoria Rd Drummoyne. Come over the Harbour Bridge, then the Anzac Bridge and up Victoria Rd. We're on the right hand side after the Iron Cove Bridge with 2 R34's parked out the front so you wont miss us.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
