Skyline R34 Gtt

[Sp4wn]

but how come oil change so ex?

 

thought just change filter (at most $50 for good quality) and oil which will cost at most 500 for 5 liters

 

a lot of the guys who drive on the NSHW or go tracking will change around 5000km. i change at 8-10k km ... all the paperwork is in my office, so i can give u a breakdown on monday or something ... all i remember is that everytime i paid, i could feel my wallet getting significantly lighter .. haha

but 2k is O.O..

 

let's see the cost of my previous servicing

 

front brake pads @ $2100

rear brake pads @ $1700

renew transmission fluid, differential fluid and brake fluid @ $3200

each bridgestone 255/40ZRF20 @ $780/pc (changed 2) [so far, changed a total of 6 for entire life of car]

 

(i've not added in labour charges)

 

car is about to hit 40k km and the next service is comprehensive which includes changing all fluids + coolants etc. that should set me back another 5k

 

when it comes time to change the rotors for the brakes (supposedly should be quite soon .. should set me back another 8-10k)

Your 'fluids' so expensive ah? Brake pads I can understand though and also your tires also not those kuchingkurap ones.

But no cheaper garages? Looks like must strike 4D + ToTo x 5 times 1st prize then can buy & maintain a GTR.

Wa, one servicing for gtr can last my entire car servicing.

can probably find la .. but since i bought my car frm tan chong and its under warranty - need to send to them. probably can get 10-20% cheaper if i go to mb motors or something. but you get the rough idea of costings so far .. not a cheap car to maintain. once you factor in insurance (3.7k) and monthly petrol ($500-600 per mth, 98 only) you can see that owning a skyline is not cheap (and i would assume the costs for an R34 would be even more exp since there may be a lack of parts...)

wa lau .. i only hit 300km on my tank once during my entire 3 years of ownership. otherwise ... generally its about 5km/l. wahaha ...

 

300km is the holy grail for me sia ... i think cos my camber is slightly negative and i frequently use 5-6k rpm ... lol

My full tank, before the light comes on, can net me 400km at least too, unless for that particular tank I am constantly on high boost playing along with idiotic drivers.

 

Do you pump in JB? I dont normally pump in more than SGD$100 per week.
