At the moment i'm on 86,000KM on my V35, i was curious if anyone has got their 100 thou service done through Nissan before and how much did it cost you? I'm considering sourcing all the parts i need and only paying for labour but has anyone actually left the entire service for Nissan or someone else to do? Just thought i'd get prepared for the big service although my car seems to be running fine.

Cheers

find a reputable mechanic to do it. Nissan will rip you off big time no matter which way you look at it and I doubt they will allow you to supply parts as this will no doubt void any warranty on "their" service.

Yeah figured that Nissans good at doing that aren't they.

what are you expecting to change at the 100k kms service?

Well i've just replaced my belt that controls air con alternator battery etc and clutch/brake fluid so basically anything else that needs doing. I don't have much of an idea as to what needs doing that can be called "major" though.

86,000 K's? I think your odometer may have had it's service already. :P

What do you mean? I bought the car at 80,000 and it hadn't been serviced for a while the guy had pretty much done it himself but i don't know what he's done so i'm iffy about it :/

The 100k is generally a term for cars with CamBELTS (not chains). It was always the old interval to change them. In recent years on newer cars, some manufacturers will go to 150k kms on a cam belt or X years.

Since you don't have a cam belt to change there is really nothing out of the ordinary about a 100k kms service.

When servicing, its a combination of -

Engine oil and filter

Air filter

Brake fluid / bleed

gearbox/transmission oil/ fluid

Differential fluid

Engine coolant

Brake pads and discs as required

interior / cabin air filter

Ancillary belts as required

Spark plugs are 100k km items

in tank Fuel filter

anything else I forgot

If you don't know when last done or have no record then its a good idea to change and record it.

I did mine last week,all fluids and filters, spark plugs, new pads. I bought all the parts before I had the car in, cost me $500 in labour but that's also including installing a plenum spacer lol. My mechanic is also a friend of mine so I don't mind paying a little extra for the peace of mind knowing everything is done the way i want it while chatting with him when he's working on the car. If you car is an Auto you MUST only use OEM Nissan transmission oil (Matic J) and if you are unsure when your trans oil was last serviced I wouldn't recommend flushing it IMO. I'm not too sure on the coolant whether it has to be the OEM antifreeze, but i used that just to make sure...maybe someone can clarify this.

Thanks for that Alex, good to know nothing major needs to be done. I can basically do all of that from my garage.

Kevin, i have a manual but yes that is good for you! too bad there are no reputible mechanics in my town :/

Nulon synthetic trans fluid is fine, just don't use dextron III, it will slip and ruin your clutch plates. Back flushing is a good idea, as is dropping the pan and cleaning the filter if you are keen.

Mixing antifreeze is a bad idea, but who knows what is in your cooling system now... I would flush it a few times with water and drain it completely, (the block drain plug is a pain to get to) then refill with a decent off the shelf coolant.

i've noticed with the auto-trans fluid. i used one of the nulon trans fluids on my previous change after i first took delivery of the car, after that the changes semmed a bit jerky to me. but after replacing it with the matic-j. its alot smoother than its ever been.

mabye its just me. but i'd stick to the genuine nissan stuff.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
