Hey all

My car has done 116,000 and I'm not sure if it's had the major service done. Can I please get some recommendations of places to potentially get the major service done at, which will do quality work, not f**k my car up, and not charge me the world for it too?

Cheers

i got my 100k service done at nissan wooloongabba

cost 1400 bux (got a heap of things done and replaced, including timing belt, most piping under the hood (it was all perishing), new thermofan

No way I will be spending $1400 though lol.

car needed it, so i spent it

i dont scrimp on maintenance yo

should be a sticket on cam cover saying when timing belt was done

I swear by Chapman & Chapman in stones corner. No bull phecies with a big list of credentials like several targa cars etc. I can only speak from personal experience: put my car in for a tune up due to having a few idle issues. After some base settings tweaking and the correction of a few problems my car is going the best it ever has since i've had it!

In fact a couple of people have commented on how quick it is for a stock as a rock (except for an exhaust) R32

Only my experience. Not gospel. :)

i used chapman and chapman originally as well

they did the inspection for my car and found heaps of things for the dealer to fix

i loved deb their reception girl as well, she was awesome, always remembered my car and who i was

they just cost a fortune

but, i believe u get what you pay for, definately use them if u dont mind paying

Allstar Tuning at Geebung. Did my big service and all other services, no complaints, fairly cheap, good advice given too.

Agree with ya there, Just recently got an aftermarket ECU for my GTR done at allstar. Cars running sweet getting 233Kw on 14lbs, Everyday driving is a dream now.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
