wow reading these responses , and never having owned a Nissan , i had no idea the servicing was so stuffed. I see the potential problem now.

Great product / shit service... smells like trouble :woot:

It is not like Nissan are alone in providing bad service. It is common amongst the majority of brands & dealerships.

I went with a mate to pick up his Polo GTi, after warranty work was done on his gearbox. They were really courteous and attentive, had free coffee available in the waiting room, and knew who he was and what car he was there for without him needing to say anything. The car was ready to go, and they served the prior customers pretty quickly and got his car pretty quickly too.

When he called VW up about his gearbox problem, they didn't d1ck him about telling him there was no known issue or that his "hard driving" was causing it, and said they'd have a look to determine if it was the case.

Contrast that with my last trip to Nissan for servicing, where I had to wait for ages because they had to "road test" my car half an hour after they called me telling me it was ready to pick up. Asking for a glass of water earned a long stare. I also asked for my backing plates for the rear pads, which I told them on the phone when booking the service and when I got there to drop the car off, which was duly noted on the job sheet....but they'd thrown them out anyway.

Don't even start me when I went to see them about the 2003 350Z's known "tyre feathering" and "rear axle clicking" issues.....

Highway Nissan did a "full" service on my previous R34, when I picked it up it still had a blown bulb in the brake light, not to mention they didn't tell me the car was stuck in 3rd gear with a busted shift solenoid. I get there at 4:30 and they give me a card for a local transmission place lol, Nissan couldn't even fix a GTt!

Dear team,

We're coming on 2 months now since I, the Great White Hunter of Nissan Australia called for the compulsory slaying of grey imported Skylines "for their own good" (makes the breed hard to manage you understand)

The tally so far-

0

Sadly the grey imported R35 is a cunning beast, which it must be indeed trying to hide its portly girth and distinct stripes in the domestic jungle of falcadores and camryundis, in order to flush it out we will re-evalute our plan by starving it out... the threat having the privilage of being fondled and massaged by our finest 2nd year apprentices in our workships revoked doesn't seem to be enough to convince them to to turn themselves in.

My new cunning plan will be involving a really big lump of cheese and a big f**king shotgun.

dont get too excited about european prestige service . My old mans got a brand spanker jag xk8 coupe , 250k worth , the thing just died one day , no electrics and barbagallo (large prestige wa dealer) have had for it 6 weeks now and Im pretty sure they have absolutely no idea whats wrong with it or what they are doing

Problem is it's a Jag / Ford :laughing-smiley-014:

My experiences with BMW Auto Classic have almost all been fantastic.

You have gotta be serious - you send us your work email in full and want us to stop importing GTR's? Seriously, everyone knows buying new from Nissan directly will be much more expensive than going via an importer - so you can't win.

Yep, Toyota too.

Went there for them to have a look at my factory stereo / cd player, which was playing up.

The servicemen told me to wait 10 mins while he and 6 other servicemen where moving cars. So I went to the front desk and the girl told me to go back outside and talk to the servicemen.

Went back outside and he said to one of the other servicemen, "whos this guy waiting for? :geek:

I said to the Go F*** yourself!

So if this is the quality of service we are getting from out local dealers... = WTF

Then if you don't take it back and if something goes wrong, they say you have void you warrenty for taking it to us.

And they want us to buy their cars...?

Yeah thats right... cuz they are only interested in customers buying their cars, not fixing them.

number 2?

geez, must of turned a hefty profit on that first one to make it worth bringing in two!

or is it a love job?

either way, it would be better than getting it from Nissan for sure!

I do it for the love mate. :P I just enjoy helping good folk out.

this one is for Russ and Mark. Sadly I'm too poor to have one in my garage :rofl:

Hey guy sorry i havent been back here in a long while

good chat on the situation.

I think that Nissan Aus gets the profit for the cars they sell so that is why the big stink about the grey imports and Nissan Aus is run as its own company and has its own CEO but still has to take orders from Nissan Japan

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
