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.

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

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.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
