I had same thing, but I had Chris from NSPM, asked for a test drive did the paperwork and he said " do you know the area" said yes, and then he asked for my mob number so if i took longer then half hour he could check things ok.

service is awsome, just had my car serviced there. ben called me over issues they had found and was all done in under an hour. I tryed one or two on parra road, they asked for ' security deposit' before test drive and also hey had to ride along, and i dont like giving a car a boot with them in there..

again if in sydney you gotta check out Northshore Prestige as they are by far the best in my opinion.. also loved the evo's.. wasnt intrested in them but test drove one anyway lol

Seems that while the word "defamatory" is used in that statement put up to warn us we are to read as "no negative statements"?

Generally only a false statement could consitute defamation. So unless we post false statements, negative statements are not defamation. Maybe the conditions need to be reworded?

That said the owners of this site can't check every statement for accuracy and may be held accountable for our posts.

I wonder if the same could be said of missleading positive statements posted on the site?:starwars:

The RSFour came via Prestige Motor Sports in WA.It was sourced in Japan. Complied by Iamshe on the GC. Only prob was one worn tie rod end.So very happy with value and work ability.

All the problems since have been while doing mods. Had it years now.

Bought the 25G from a guy I stopped on the mountain to have a chat. He said he was selling it soon so I said I will take it when available. Perfect for my P plater.

Both are S1s, so any spare bars and panels I pick up will do both. And slowly upgrading the RS4 so all the bits go towards turboing the 25G to be an RS25GT. And it is RWD, Auto.

Go see the Russian Sergy at Version 1 imports. Hale St - Botany.

Bought 2 cars from him. His cars are really clean, compared to many of the Sydney dealers I've seen.

Just Jap at Kirrawee have some OK ones and they also have a 300KW staff car M35.

Base model 01-02 M35's with sub 80K kms can be had for 15-17K.

Whats so funny about? The point was- atleast they have additional services if he were to buy there, and that they have service and have access to parts for the cars they sell.

The sarcasm is quite narrow minded.

Agreed the Just Jap cars are OK but far off the quality I have seen around!... Yes they do offer a good service deal and probably offer a higher level of knowledge that the other 95% of workshops in Sydney on M35's!...IMO you are still better off doing your own basic services but each to there own! The parts access is not that great btw!...I have a bigger list of spare parts in my garage!

And here's a broad minded pointer on the statement I highlighted! There "statement" of having a 300AWKW M35 Stagea is laughable. Unless they have done some major work on it since the last time I saw it. Has it got a suction pipe? if no this mean's no 300AWKW's on BP98.....Does he have a GT30/71r or bigger? If no it means no 300AWKW's even on E85 without the suction pipe....If they have got the SP and Turbo how did they get past the throttle restriction or is it just a dyno queen with no power till 5,500rpm.......what ECU it's running...and the list goes on! From memory from the last time I saw the car you speak of it has a H/F turbo, Blitz FMIC, and a Blitz exhaust....maybe a EBC cannot remember that!....that get's it to about 180AWKW's.....and maxing out the injectors!

Point taken that they do offer some aftermarket parts though!

P.S. Sarcasm intended before....personally I would never quote what a dealer has told me (especially a power figure on a car) in open forum without expecting some sort of response....pretty narrow minded of you bud! nyaanyaa.gif

Thanks for your input, I have put a deposit on a M35 - its a red one with black mags - picking it up this weekend. Im sure you can figure it out which one.

Now to sell my Skyline of 10yrs :-(

Is it an AR-X?....just asking as I have seen one that looks like what you are describing!

Its the one with the black Work Steez alloy :-) Happy with them.

nice.....I like it! Let me know if your after some suspension....I have a set of Nismo's going cheap for sale that fit!

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
