Place for a service?


Recommended Posts

Guest Cacophony

Hi dudes.

New to the Skyline scene - so was wondering where I can go to get a good service?

I live in the western suburbs, so don't want to go down to Morphett Vale to get it serviced through the importer I bought it from. They charge about $160 though.

Any recommendations, and prices?

Oh yeah, what should I expect done for a new service (what do I need done?)

Cheers

I would recomend Tilbrooks as a good place to go. Its not going to be cheap to get a good service. You are probably looking for new filters, plugs (platinum $150 ish) and good oil. When I had my first service it also included a few modifications (Power FC, Bleed valve, dyno tune and reporgramming the FC) and cost close to $1000. [The results were worth it though]

yeah everyone likes tilbrooks ... their results speak for themselves ... but if ure after something a bit cheaper ... try pvp imports ... they just did a standard tune for me and only cost me 110 bucks ... changed the oil and filter and check the rest of the car out ... i highly recommend them if u're not after a performance tune!! :wave:

Had a few other things done to my car like replaced front pads

with bendix ultimates and flushed whole braking system and

replaced two iridium plugs ( bought six iridiums of my own but two were the wrong size) plus a major service came to around

the $500 mark.

It was choice either between tilbrooks or manta racing and I

choose manta. Its up to you who you take it to, both have excellent reputation, both know skylines and both you can trust

I just clicked over 100k. :D

Can anyone give me the part numbers of the belt and plugs for a bog stock 95 R33. Also the best gapping for the plugs.

I dont think I can get to Tilbrooks or Manta in a hurry so I may just go local. What about RPM or Turbo Tune?

Well there has been great debate over rpm and others on nissansilvia.com, there are so many stories flying around about bad and good things...

never heard any stories bout manta ever...

Tilbrooks have a strong rep for quality work.

But if u want a job done properly, do it yaself. (if u know how that is)

    • 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.
