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.

    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
    • Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
