How much should i expect to pay for a new turbo fitted? (something equivalent to stock?)

Im finding thats the problem with the warranty's they require frequent services by certified mechanics.

Does anyone know the details of the standard mandatory dealer warranty in australia is it 3months?

Dealers have a stat warranty on Cars under 10 years old of 3 months / 5000kms. That will cover everything on the car that goes wrong in that period as I understand it.

Dealers can offer extra warranty that is offered by a 3rd party warranty company. This can be for various amount of time/kms. Generally this cover will state it will cover damage to the drivetrain upto a total of $XXXX.

So an example. You buy a car and you have bought or the dealer gave you a 1 year 3rd party warranty. 6 months in, you having had the car serviced as required by the dealer, blow up the turbo. The 3rd party warranty will cover the claim up to $2000 (just say). The job will cost $3000, so you will pay the gap.

Thats how I understand it works.

some of the guys that have replaced turbos will be able to give you a cost.

I would quote you under two grand for the highflow turbo fitted, well down on the 3 or 4k it used to cost. (and what a mechanic would probably still charge.)

There is no guarantee you will get what you want with the warranty, most probably they would try and source a second hand turbo, and you would be in the same boat again down the track.

What Pn-mad said. Dealer/ broker whoever sold you the car ( not private sale) has to give you the 3months 5k stat warranty if under 10 years old and fix the issue repair. Otherwise they can take back the car and refund you in full. If not you can get Aca involved running a program that will call the dealer direct within 5 days and sort. If no comply then go to vcat. Claim under 9,999.00 and they can't get legal representation. His word against yours.

PS Scotty your offer sounds bloody good!

Tell me about it, between the cost Stao is supplying rebuilt turbo's at, and the speed I can change a turbo in now, you would be mad to purchase their dodgy warranty. Mine wasn't worth the paper it was written on...

Ive still got the invoice the previous owner of my car paid for the highflow and refit of the turbo on my car; to the tune of $4800 or there abouts

Faaark. Mine cost just under $2k installed back when it was done... I didn't get a say regarding the internals (not that I would have known anything about it back then

I think they took the engine out the hard way and just generally didnt know how to best approach it, likely wasted heaaaaaps of time. Just glad it wasnt me that had to foot that bill!

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?

      What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
