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.

well hey atleast their scan tools work, apparently the reason for my CEL being on was due to cracked vacuum hose from the intake -.- $130 later.... oh well atleast its fixed now :)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
