    Hey all,
    I need some advice on my 100K service. Firstly, anyone know any reliable, yet reasonable mechanics around Sydney, preferably west to do the services, provided I supply all the parts. Most places I have checked either want to supply the parts or have ridiculous labor rates.

    Another thing, is it wiser to get the 60K mile kit or the 120K mile kit, I found these two, they appear to be a nissan dealer in the states, a bit cheaper than ConceptZ. Any Advice would be greatly appreciated.

    120K kit-: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GENUINE-...ps=63&clkid=4034674271721784289#ht_924wt_1037

    Do the 120 kit whilst your there and save time.

    Consider changing the belt for a gates racing belt - not essential but desirable as the gates belt is three times stronger and longer wearing.

    Cut-price Mechanics are worth almost what you pay them(see Bryan).:eek::eek:
    If you really put your faith in people who work for nothing(and let you supply the parts)then you're on a steep learning curve.:rolleyes:
    Good Mechanics are worth whatever they charge(there is NO substitute for 'Peace of Mind').;):zlove:

    Thanks for your advice. I will go with the 120 Kit.
    I totally agree with you about supplying the parts to the mechanic. Its just hard keeping up with the Z sometimes :p .
    I wanted to do this service at Unique, but its a bit out of my budget right now, maybe Il just wait and do it later.

    Try ASR automotive 8777 3000 -worked at UAS for many years before opening his own workshop.

    Yep, and you won't find a more thorough or honest mechanic. Trying NOT to sound like a fanboy but all credit due Andrew has been an immense help with my car and fixed up many details that were overlooked by larger workshops. I think he's well deserving our (local members) patronage.
