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 :)

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
