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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
