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)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
