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 :)

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
