I think you'd be best getting it serviced approximately every 5,000kms as everyone suggests..

I've only done just over 3,000kms in it - but want to get some decent oils and so forth into it before the summer comes along and get it checked over.

Yours would be worth checking that the timing belt has been changed - if I lived in castle hill I would possibly pay the full amount to get an excellant service done on it. or as everyone recommends Nathan..

On a car that's done 100,000kms without any thing for you to go on you probably want someone to check over it as there can be small things that cost you alot later..

Cheers

Thats true...although there's this little plaque thing in japanese on the front of my engine which I'm guessing is the 100,000km service plaque which eased my mind a bit but I think that's a good suggestion.

Just my 2c for Grey Imports, aka Nathan. I have had my Cefiro thru the workshop a couple of times and all i can say is AWESOME!!!

Nathan is a honest bloke who will always give you the time of day!

An example is one Sat arvo, after he normally would of shut up shop my Ceffie had a issue. I called him up and was happy for me to take it down to him right then and there.....in his own time, that arvo he fixed the issue up!

Top bloke and would truely recommed him!

Actually I think you'll find its a sticker reminding you to change the belt at 100,000.

Best to change it and save an engine/

Well thought i'd give an update on the service..

Dropped my car in at Polmar yesterday morning at 8:30.. left it in Eli's hands to go over for the day while I was at work..

Got a call at about 3:00pm telling me everything was finished..

I'd asked for a Engine, Gearbox and Diff oil change.. He was kind enough not to change the Diff oil as he thought it was still fine (i didn't mind).. flushed and changed the Engine, Gearbox and Oil filter..

Overall car is running much better, oil pressure is just over 2 at idle whereas before it sat on 2.. must be the difference in the oil rating..

Cost me a bit over $140 in Labour and about $180 in parts + oils..

Goto say.. my gear box slides in smoother than a ...... in a .......

I LOVE IT!!..

anyways.. thought i'd give some feedback, appears that the car has been well looked after before I got it, no metal in the gearbox oil on the magnet and everything runs well.. so i'm a happy man

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
