in the v8's it was that the lines didn't line up properly with the rail or something like that.

and while holden has had quite a few nissan has had a few as well. do a search on silvia 200sx recalls. (not defending holden, just making a point to the green eyed import fan bois, LOL)

the aussie s15 has had zero recalls since landing in australia

from 1989 to present 45 nissan recall campains have been put out through all the nissan makes in au

look here

and i cant find any recalls for any silvia (can any one else help)

Edited by boot_it

parents have a ve s.

power=sux balls.

but other than that its pretty stable and good to drive.

but has massive blind spot= pillars are limiting, and so is the high boot thru the rear window. cant see much through the rear mirror

I would rather Holden recall them, than to have the problems get worse over time.

People see recalls as a bad thing, when really it's not. Look even Jap cars get recalled (Oh Noes!!!!).

I think alot of people like to have a dig at Holden just for the sake of it, but quietly shut the f**k up when something with their own car goes wrong.

The fact is they spent a shit load of money on them and a pissy little thing like fuel line f**ks up i thought all that desert testing would have brought that to light!

That's exactly right. It is a pissy little thing, but atleast they picked up on it.

I know it cost alot of money, but they can't pick up every single thing when they are mass produced.

I reckon the new Falcon is going to suffer the same way.

Ill admit, i dont mind Holden but the commodores they have brought out in the past couple of years look/drive like pos they shoula improved on the old VL Turbo.

I had one and the thing never died, started first time everytime and went harder than the new commy too

Yeah but that pissy little thing can cause a big f**k up you get fuel right the first time.

All cars have there problems i just like picking on holdens

Yeah but that pissy little thing can cause a big f**k up you get fuel right the first time.

That's the reason for the recall, so they can fix it.

Or would you much rather hear of people dieing, because their V6 VE caught fire as a result of the faulty fuel line?

As i said get fuel right the first time and then we wouldnt even be talking about it and the fact that they have had other recalls just makes the matter worse.

Well if every manufacturer got it right the first time, than we would have no reason to discuss recalls would we? But the fact is it does happen.

I wonder what the reaction would be if this happened to Nissan? Doubt it would though, because Nissans are the greatest cars ever built, that never have any problems. *cough*

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
