Nissan never have any idea about our cars that's why i don't even bother calling them. Last time i went there the head mechanic told me to go to the panel beaters to get my comp rod bushings changed... dafuq

Last time i went they told me they could order a key for me and code it.....Paid 450 bux for the keys waited for an hour only for them to come back and say yeah sorry mate we can't get the key to work you have to go somewhere else :whistling:

Ended up with a as someone else mentioned on another thread "$450 dollar paper weight".

Edit: They also said they required more time to get it to work and that i should go back. Rate is $135 and $65 per half an hour for labour, just to code the key (also no guarantee it will work but apparently i still have to pay).....what a joke.

Ended up going somewhere else and paid a locksmith $30 and success :yucky:

LOL. Another classic story of how useless Nissan are with these cars. I will NEVER trust them with it or take my car to them for anything.

Crap i'm getting them to do my door locks on friday :/

I guess it depends on the Stealership though. You might find a mechanic that really knows them but from what i've heard from the majority of V35 owners they do not let Nissan touch them. What are they charging you? something astranomical no doubt..

At least the one's i have been to were clueless. When the power window motor died i called them and asked them if they could get me one from a 350z. They told me it was different as this is an import they need to ship one from japan (no surprise it costed a loooot more)

Pro tip #1: You go to Nissan for parts. You DO NOT go to Nissan to work on or service your car (DIY)

Pro tip #2: If you do need Nissan to do something on your car (key or BCM program etc), first thing to state over the phone is what you need done on your car. If they won't touch "imports" (lol @ hypocrite), go to a Nissan Dealership that will.

I've bought all new comp rod bushings, control arm bushings, ball joints off Ebay for cheap as chips and i highly doubt Nissan would be as cheap as what i got these for (genuine Nissan too)

Very true, things like keys etc i would get done through them but certainly nothing else.

      Rb25det timing belt position on cam gear

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      40 grit sounds about right, to start. You make some decent cuts/damage in the coating with that, then rapdily scale up to maybe 80 and 120 for the bulk of the actual removal, then fine it off to 180 or 240 perhaps. No need to go any finer than that, and maybe no need to go even as fine as that. Wrap it on a big block and have at it. At least on the hub face.

      Hiya!

      Do the GKTech rear lower control arm mount relocation, and either alloy subframe inserts or very stiff subframe bushes. Traction is going to be at a premium!

      Hiya!

      By Curlyfred · Posted

      Hello,   My name if Frederick, i'm 30 years old and I live in Belgium, Europe! I used to have a Nissan 370z daily but since I got a company car I turned that into my seattime driftcar. About 3 years ago I also wanted something older with more feel, so I got an R32 GTST with an rb26 engine. I am now getting the rb built to have around 800hp and it's close to being finished. I'm very excited for how it will drive and how driveable it will be! Regards, Fred!

      ENR34 - Inner Tie Rod is unique part! Replacement?

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Appreciate the insight! Talked to some local folks and they basically told me "it's not that deep." As long as the threading on the inside matches what's at the steering rack, everything else can be constructed-to-fit. There are full aftermarket kits I can use - probably better for my car overall since it's lowered.  Example: GKTech M14 Super Adjustable Inner Tie Rod Set - Nissan Skyline R32 R33 R33, 240SX, 300ZX, 350Z / Infiniti G35 M14I-TROD-2 gktM145-TROD gktM14I-TROD - Concept Z Performance (These can be packaged with their "high misalignment" tie rod ends).
