    Spotted!!

    in Australian Capital Territory

    Posted

    Spotted a Red 32 right near the pedestrian crossing outside Subway on Emu Bank Road, got a wave and gave one back. I'm pretty sure the guy works at a place in Belco and has helped me purchasing the right products a couple of times(Don't wanna give away too much of where he works).

    Spotted a white R33 followed me the whole way from Woden, down the parkway and then turned off at Kambah.

    I did have an idea about hiring a mini bus but noone has said anything so unless everyone puts in for one it is make your own way. we are taking a barina out there big loss of power :)

    I'd happily chuck in for a minibus. I have this strange aversion to leaving my Z anywhere it is likely to get trashed or broken in to... don't know why :)

    its a joke he has to to comunity service and pay the fine and they still wont 15 to 20 grand out off hin in the way off a car

    he is fully in the wrong but the cops shouldnt have the right to even apply for something that someone my have worked hard for

    "caught 7 times in 16 days for offences on his L's"

    "Mark Russell, 18, of Eaglehawk, pleaded guilty in Bendigo Magistrates' Court yesterday to 30 traffic offences between June 11 and October 29 last year"

    They should not only take his car, they should arrest the little motherf**ker and throw his ass in jail. He's clearly dangerous and should be taken off the roads as soon as possible.

    They should drag him off to the wrecker and make him watch as his pride and joy is crushed into a cube.

    Since we're having a rant... What is it with people that stick GTR badges on the back of non-GTR skylines??? I drove past two last Saturday alone.

    Who the hell do these guys think they are impressing? The non car enthusiasts have no idea what a GTR is in the first place so they're not going to be impressed. The People who actually know something about cars know enough to tell that they are a moronic tryhard sticking another car's badge on their car.

    As far as I can tell this is a lose, lose scenario? Am I missing something here?

    I'm not just picking on skylines either, the number of BMW *cough* M3's out there is amazing.

    I know the car, Know where its parked all the time in civic. Have seen it driving, I know what your talking about.

    Karma my friend...

    Karma...

    He'll end up driving off a bridge with his sunnies on and have the police comment on the news about the reason for the accident... or something of similar comedic value.

    Nah, they'll blame it on speed... just more evidence for the need for more fixed speed cameras to keep us all safe :(

    Brake Pad/rotor Question

    in Australian Capital Territory

    Posted · Edited by Contempt

    An update to the whole pathetic saga...

    I just booked my car into the Nissan dealership at Woden A.C.T again for my 50k service on Friday.

    For those that didn't read the thread the first time here's a quick recap: I booked the car in for it's 40k service and was told I needed new brake pads and rotors for my track spec Z front and back at $5800... yes that is correct $5800!!! Instead I purchased DBA rotors and the Brembo pads from Nismo Pete at about $1700 all up. This was $800 less then the dealership quoted for exactly the same kit BTW. Anyway long story short I dropped it off at a local brake specialist who called me back 15 minutes later and asked me why the hell I wanted to replace the brakepads and rotors as neither the front or rear were even 25% worn!!!

    The fu#@ers at the Nissan dealership tried to rip me off for nearly $6000 worth or equipment I didn't need. I measured the brake pads which were 9mm stock, the fronts were 6mm and the rears were 7mm. Anyway hilarity ensued when I confronted them about this and for the best part of a year I have had $1700 worth of brakepads and rotors sitting in a cupboard. I was really pissed however I was so busy with work I didn't have time to make an official complaint to Nissan Australia.

    Fast forward to Friday...

    When I picked up the report for the 50k service and what do I see? This time they had the brake pad measurements for front and rear on the report 5mm front and 6mm back both less then half way worn after a further 10,000 k/m. And the guy who was doing the paperwork said that the pads were fine and would last at least another 10,000.

    As luck would have it, the dickhead who told me to replace the aforementioned $5800 worth of kit just happened to be standing about 5 metres away with another customer. My response was about the same as what I imagine most people on here would have done, saying loudly in a customer filled room "Nearly 11,000km later and suddenly I don't need brake pads again, must be a bloody miracle!"

    We then had another fun conversation and again only this time he lied to my bloody face!!! He said that they measured them last time and they didn't think they would make another 10,000km which is obviously an absolute lie as last time he pleaded ignorance and said they didn't measure them as I posted here before. The other lame excuse he came up with was saying that these pads are a lot thinner then usual pads and compared to them they looked low... well it's good to know that after spending $75,000 on a car that the dealership doesn't know the difference between a brembo pad and a $75 falcadore special. If in doubt try and charge the customer nearly $6000 for stuff he doesn't need.

    and again mid conversation he said something to the tune of "you're not going to talk that way to me" and took a step towards me in the same lame attempt at intimidation as last time. He finished off by saying that he would have replaced the pads and the rotors. I had to stop myself from shitting myself laughing, he is saying to me with a straight face that he would spend nearly $6000 replacing brakes that after 40,000k were less then 30% worn. At this point I had to stop myself hitting the smug bastard so I said this is a conversation we probably shouldn't have and he walked off.

    But it's a conversation that I damn well will be having with whoever the head customer service guy is for Nissan Australia. This scumbag just successfully reminded me how mad I am at these bastards for trying to rip me off.

    Don't suppose anyone knows the details for whoever the head customer service guy for Nissan Australia is?

    P.S Don't buy a car from the Nissan Woden Dealership, and if you have to take your car there for service then don't take the bastards word for it when they say you need to replace anything. Take it to someone who won't rip you off, somewhere that is NOT a Nissan dealership.
