Hey guys did a little searching and heaps of reading, but just want to know where is a good place to get my m35 serviced, i live in the northern beaches area but dont mind driving for the peace of mind it will be done properly.

I do the minor stuff myself I.E fluids, filters, belts, brakes etc.. but i wouldnt mind knowing a workshop that is familar with this model for plus would like to be getting the book stamped for resale purposes.

thanks guys.

Personally, do it yourself! that way you always know its done well!

Otherwise i would go to Envy imports or Good Spanner on the northern beaches. Im not sure if Northshore prestige service, but I have heard good things about them too. They know their M35s

thanks for the reply.. i do want to do most of it myself, but the stuff i cant i want someone who knows the car model rather then charging me heaps in labour cost while they are researching how to work on it.

Im new to nissans i have crossed over from many a toyota 4AGE.

can vouch for Northshore Prestige for servicing. They have been very helpful with my car.

Nissan Brookavle parts are also very good for any parts. Just tell them your VIN and that it is an import and they will find the part number for you and order it in. Always been really good to me.

Cheers

+1 for servicing yourself.....It's an easy job and you can use all the premium product's and still have a lot of change in you pocket.

P.S You can also ask me every now and again to get you prices on Genuine NISSAN products....I'll try to beet what you are paying....please keep it down to the larger more expensive things and I should be able to beat the price's given.....OH and PM me because I am not a trader more of a Nissan associate ;) .

when ordering parts from me I will need the part number

If only i was good with engines and mechanics, atm i look at my engine and am totally confused. its just as bad as looking at a japanese manual lol...

all i am trained in is metal fabrication. so most of the shit on the car i can make (exhausts, piping, brackets) but like i said, im shyt at engine stuff so i can only stick to basic things. its so frustrating. alot of ppl know the mechanical thigns but cant fabricate. but im the opposite lol. just a never ending challenge trying to be someone who can do both lol

lol when we start having meets, maybe someone who is good can give us lil tutorials?

or someone maybe someone is generous enough to do a m35 service tutorial!

As I am on a 5 year warranty with mine I get all my servicing done at Hornsby Nissan.

So far no hassles, they should know the car well because I've had 4 services done there so far :D

thanks guys i do enjoy(well most of the time) working on the car, as i said i can do all the regular service things, brakes, fluids, belts etc. and when it comes to the more difficult stuff i dont mind having a go rebuilding internals and so on. however since im not a mechanic that doesnt get me any receipts, so like all my other cars the resale can be up the shit coz wheres the proof.

But i think i will just keep going with the simple things and take it to northshore prestige or goodspanner for the bigger things (which i hope is not for a long time.)

did the oil yesterday. gotta do the brakepads, rotors, gearbox fluid next weekend

i was more talking about changing the plugs... looks like its going to be a f**kin pain!

That's the least of your problems. :D

I swear every part of the car was designed and engineered to be a pain in the ass to repair (or modify)

Thanks again for the replies.. The plugs can't be as of a pain as my j31 maxima that was a

real pain replacing the plugs..

Pretty much the same.

J31 has a VQ35de, so the plugs are in the same position as our cars, it is just that the oversized J31 plenum is in the way of everything and can be an annoyance to remove.

Plus the j31 is fwd which just made matters worse removing the plenum near the firewall.. And the bolts are always so bloody tight!! Anyway gonna do the rotors and pads soon prob next weekend am I right in saying the rears are xtrail and fronts are maxima?? But what year??

You are correct in saying that... or you could just ask for pads & rotors for a 350z (non-brembo of course)

Ok will do that 350z touring they don't up the price coz it's a performance car do they?? They just go off the part number?? And what are ppl experiences with brands I was just gonna go DBA rotors coz I can get cost price!! And I was gonna start researching pads now!!

Hey buddy pal, how you going mate?? :(

I could be investing a bit of money in DBA at some point :P to the tune of 2 x 14" & 2 x 13.8" 5000 series slotted's :mad:

I am using Hawk pads and they are very good, low dust and great performance with little fade. But I do have R32 calipers and rotors.

Have a spare set of front pads if anyone is interested.

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
