I get my servicing done at Dandeong Nissan.... some people say that nissan are expensive and don't know about imports.... but they have really looked after me with my 180sx and now my 'line. :talk2hand

Saying that I will be trying out UPI for my next service. (see Vic sticky for details). :P

do any of u guys service the car ur self

ive been doing it my self and i ve had no issues

except 2 lil things eg the oil filter having a crack some where spiting oil

not my fault

anddd the sparke plugs

couldnt remember how everything went back togeather but all fixed now

but really it isnt that hard.. half the time ur drain and replacing filters

scorp - does the Dandenong Nissan still service your car properly when you have mods and all other stuff on it?

Thanks guys - I was hoping everyone could post something so others who are getting a 'line or are not happy with their servicing at the momo could find out where others are getting theirs done.

UPI all the way mate, I have done it myself a few times but can't be bothered with the hassle of trying to get rid of the oil. This way I buy my own oil and give it to the guys and they do the rest!

Fast, Efficient, Reliable, Honest, Affordable, Knowledgable

And ALL the guys there are Nissan enthusiasts. They look after you, its not unlikely for me to go down their for a few hours, talk some shit and have a few laughs while the cars getting fixed! I'm getting some work done at the moment so I will let everyone know how it goes soon.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
