SPOTTED. + Yearly service time!



Saw this fairly rare R33 Skyline GTR 4 door in suburban Tokyo recently. I haven't seen one for a long time, and this one was in very good condition.







Also spotted this WRC replica type Subaru WRX






I took my car to Ralliart Pit Inter Kawasaki for a full service, and the weather was great for a drive.
It had only done less than 5000 klms since the last service but there were quite a few Track days in there, so I got all fluids completely drained and replaced (except the AYC as it was completely done last time).

As always I asked them to look over the whole drive train for any signs of stress or problems, and it's been a year since they've seen it, but it was all fine.
The other thing I wanted to know was how much (if any) metal shavings came out with the oils, I was particularly interested in the gearbox as the syncros are getting a bit iffy at the Track now, although I am never hard on the drivetrain despite driving the car hard.

They said that there was a 'normal' amount, but very little for a car that is tracked so much, so that was a relief.
