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

[Konrad]

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

-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..

oil and filter, pads could possibly do yourself.

Get my cars (had R33 gtst now have R33GTR) done at 101 Motorcafe in Slacks creek. Contact them on 3209 5855 and just ask them a ball park figure. Don't think they do wheel alignments though?

Hope this helps

ok guys question...on top of my radiator shrouad it says timing belt 180,000kms

does that indicate when it was changed or when it needs to be changed....as my speedo only says 96XXX kms??

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.

[r33_racer]

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?

[Konrad]

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.

mercury motorsport are expensive...

in some respects you get what you pay for (ie dyno tune) but for a service, you don't need to know a skyline to change oil etc...

[chaos]

meh just do it your paying for that spot so why not use it, could save yourself some $$$ if you get as much done as you can on your own.
