100k Service...where To Go & How Much?


Recommended Posts

I want to get the following done:

-New pads all round

-Timing Belt

-Gearbox + engine oil

-Radiator flush

-new plugs

-diagnose & fix my engine shudder at idle

-Wheel align

-tune

Extras...

-Dyno tune + power run would be nice :P

-Maybe do injector carbon clean

Would i be right in budgeting at least $1500?? If anyone could help me out with how much they paid for similar work and where they got it done it'd be great :)

At this stage i'm thinking Mercury..(from previous forums searches for good workshops).

Any input would be appreciated....

i did my 100k service at nissan wooloongabba

did timing belt, all the usual service bits

plus replaced a few gaskets and piping

replaced cracked radiator fan

i believe it was 1400 bux all up

nissan can do 4 wheel alignments as well

they wont do any tunes or dyno runs though

$1400 is pretty steep, but spose thats what you pay for when getting dealer servicing...

Thanks for the reply spooks, i'll keep them in mind :)

So noone else has any recommendations?? I dont mind if they're not a massive workshop with a flashy title, i just want honest, quality work by someone who knows their way around RB engines.

Been thinking it over and DEFINATLEY want the following

-Radiator flush

-Gearbox oil

-Timing belt + water pump (genuine only)

-Diff oil

-New pads and fluid

-New plugs

-Engine oil and filter

-Engine carbon clean

-Full wheel align and raise my coilovers by 1cm or so

-Fix my slight engine shudder at idle

Is they're anything else that should be done??

Hoping as a ballpark figure of $1500, no more..

Thanks guys, i will ring mercury and motorcafe tomorrow :(

Chaos- yer thought about doin oil, filter, pads, radiator, g'box oil myself. But my car parks under the building in a shopping centre style underground park. Dont think the rest of the tenants appreciate oil and coolant all over the place (already done this once before...) plus since i'm taking the car in for the other work, why not get it all done at once.

How would there be oil and coolant all over the place if you drop it into a catch of someform..ie bucket, oil tray.... If that really is a problem, dont you have any rellies or mates houses you could do it at?

Well what happens when u flush radiator?? Would need alot of buckets the way i do it :lol:

And dont really know alot of people down here, only one mate with a garage at his flat and he'd probably say no.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
