got development $$. I do the reworks on them and people baulk at that.

ALL of it is processor based and the code needs to be pulled out, reworked and put back in place. a russian company was mucking around with the translation side of things but no maps.

Hard to say. I was driving in a storm and lots of debris on the road and driving rain but I thought I heard a noise that may have been it. Considering it is just in front of the driver and the plastic fractures I would expect to hear/feel something. Good thing I checked my gauges soon after driving along motorway and picked it up. I got off and parked up pronto else it would have been much worse.

Pics yet Jules?

I'm more curious about the diameter of the sub and how big the enclosure is that it sits in.

Oh...ok I will go down stairs now and take some pics with the phone and measure for you....

Well my phone battery is dead, but it is 360mm across and 140mm deep

SO I get to 104 k and the top radiator hose connector breaks. Quite common apparently and can's be repaired. Now I have a 10 day wait for part ex Japan $140nzd. :D

now I'm told I must wait until the 17th at least (back order) and no loan car in sight

This car is proving to be a problem ;) unlike the old one

Are you going through Nissan? Maybe I could make a suggestion if Nissan in NZ is slow....order it through an Australian Nissan dealer(e.g Hornsby Nissan)...pay for it via credit card and see how long it takes them to get the parts delivered to you directly....it should not take 2 weeks......I just ordered a powerduct new headrests and spark plugs and they only took 4 days door to door.

or maybe just look at getting a new one made.

Perhaps one of you Aussies could find out what the locals say but Nissan my side say it's Japan that can't supply sooner.

Give me the part number...I will have a go for you...worst case scenario I get it shipped to me then over to you.

Even if we just find out timelines for future reference.....saves you getting stuffed around with no car for weeks.....might be an extra courier cost though :)

Just spoke to Hornsby Nissan. They said max of 10 day's but most of them are 5 day's or under. e.g. as I mentioned my stuff was about 4 days.

P.S. They also said the parts are readily available in Japan so shipment would be straight away.

Out of curiosity, what is the part number for the spark plugs?

I have been given 3 different numbers for m35 spark plugs from Nissan dealers (and for some reason, FAST doesn't like me at the moment).

Don't know wether this is the number or not...but it's the # on my receipt from Nissan. Pretty sure they are NGK as well.

NI22401-5M016.....they are also $24.15 each.....add's up when you have 6 of them :banana:

I have just spoken to Tony @ Northshore. He gave me the part number NI22401-AQ816 and made it clear that only this plug should be used.

Also spoke to NGK (part # LFR6AP-9), "It is not on our system, it is not a plug we bring into the country". Talk about helpful customer service... :starwars:

Nissan ferntree gully have ordered them 10-12 days... $23.20ea... yep, it adds up but it least they should last 100,000kms.

  • 2 weeks later...

got it back finally but I'd be looking at getting a metal one fabricated if I knew what I was in for - apparently this can be done in 3 days or less and only a hundy or so more

getting mixed opinions on the life of these plastic top rads too mine lasted just 6 years and 100,000 km's

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
