hey dude.. this is what i did for my 33 and now for my Cefiro:

oil - Mobil 1 every 5000kms
oil filter - original Nissan / Ryco every 5000kms
NGK plugs BCPR6ES - every 10,000kms
fuel filter - Ryco every 20,000kms
coolant - about 20,000kms

*it is my firm belief that with turbo cars maintenance is VERY VERY important so my servicing might appear to be very frequent but I do most of it at home so it cuts down the cost a lot. Mechanically, if you can service a Proton Wira, I'm sure you can manage a Skyline easily, its not overly difficult and pretty soon becomes second nature. I dont drive much anyways, about 10-15kms a day. In my 33, i drove 25,000kms in the 3 years i owned it.

*timing belt should be done when you're close to 100,000kms along with oil pump, water pump etc..

*owner manual or workshop manual? workshop manual you can download on one of the threads here. another resource that i found very helpful was http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums of which i am one of the moderators there.

I'm stumped...where is the oil pump belt located?

I'm stumped...where is the oil pump belt located?

hey.. i never said it was driven by a belt.. ;)

anyways, just add a bit more of useless info :p

the oil pump is located on the front of the engine but on the bottom end and is driven by the crank.. to change this, the engine basically has to come out as you would need to seperat the oil pan from the block(?)..

what we did with my car was because its got an RB20 from an R32 and not an RB20 from a Ceffy (slight differences - Shan? anyone?) we got all the belts as well as oil, water pump, new gaskets etc..

maybe 100,000ks is a bit of an exaggeration but most 32/Cefiros are 15 yrs old and I dont want to chance it.. I've had friends with 95 GTRs have engines fail cause of oil pumps so yeah it does happen so if you have the money, do everything once but do it right..
