Having a quick look here:

http://www.motorsm.com/complaints/latest.asp

The common problem seems that dealers don't understand their product.

Poor buggers with Navara's, Patrols etc who aren't too mechanically minded have to dig deep to pay Nissan's "Guess what's wrong game'.

Anything concerning electronics (and the modern car has lots of them) and dealers just start replacing bits.

I do my own servicing, always have, but when I get to the age where I have to pay someone to maintain my vehicle, it won't be to a dealership.

Hadn't heard too much about the Navara's (apart from their electronic 4WD problems) until I tripped over that complaints site.

But have seen a heap of ZD30 Patrols (the grenade) with very unhappy owners.

Nissan has left them high and dry.

Amazing, they get bubbles in the dash, same as the old R32's only a hell of a lot worse.

If you're persistant enough and still have some warranty, Nissan will cough up with a new dash.

It seemed to be only early ZD30 patrols with the grenade engines. The current ones haven't been having that problem. The patrol dash bubble problem is being fixed under warranty on a customer complaint basis only i believe.

Nope the CRD's also grenade, just taking a bit longer to show up.

Looks like the end is nigh for this horrible engine. (rumours of a petrol V8 ???)

Actually the Patrol must surely be ready for the chop, it's so out of touch with that ancient front end. (google Patrol death wobbles)

Navara has become very popular.

You're right about the dash bubbles, it's not a recall, the owners have to chase Nissan via their dealer to get any satisfaction.

    • I did basically the same procedure on a ZF6HP but the reason to pull the valve body is to replace the seals between the valve body and the transmission which are notorious for leaking pressure with age causing poor shifting and burning out the clutches. If you just wanted to exchange all the fluid you should be able to undo one of the transmission cooler return lines to drain into a bucket while using the pressure filler to keep it topped off. 
    • The title should have posted "EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26" I can seem to edit thr title on my Android.
    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
