I'm afraid that's what you get with Nissan. Tida machanics, having done their 1 day course, now trying service a GT-R. Why am I not surpised.

Sorry mate, but your selling them a bit short there. I personally am good friends with a Factory GTR trained mechanic, and know that the Factory course that they do is very in-depth, involves them driving the car on a track. The GTR also has its own tool chest.

I was actually talking to him about this issue on NYE. He found the issue, videoed it, and sent it to Nissan long before this thread popped up. So far He's done 4 replacements.

I agree with you so don't stress about people who aren't actually in the game - GT-R OZ doesn't actually own a GTR R35, and has never driven one or dealt with Nissan servicing/warranty issues. Take what he says with a grain of salt :P

I'm good friends with my Nissan service manager. They are very professional. At one point I was getting hourly updates via SMS. If I didn't want them to repair it, It wouldn't be with them

Lol Wardy you're a classic! Why did you agree with me then? You say one thing then say another. Are you an Arthur or a Martha? You remind of a nerd I went to school with, just agrees with everybody to try and get some mates lol

Oh and by the way I have driven an R35 and I deal with Nissan all the time with issues on other vehicles. :yes:

Arthur or Ma Martha when you're telling everyone you can't get a test drive of a GTR in Sydney lol....

I said "yerp you're probably right" but I didn't say I agree with you. Get your context right... :D

I believe we were just talking about this on another thread. Try and keep up lol. :spank:

Lol 'Context' Too late to back track on that one buddy. :)

PN-Mad

I'm also curious to know how driving a car around a track and the fact that it has it's own tool chest makes for a better machanic? Certainly didn't make much of a differnce in this case did it? Maybe that covers the service costs. How much did you say Nissan would charge you Wardy for this work if the car was out of warranty lol. A lazy 12k! Hmmm now if I had an R35 that was out of warranty and needed this work done, where would I take it? Farrk!

You're joking right!

You mean you rented one! Ah! Good work champ, I stand corrected on that point. It was about time you got in the seat! :D

You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about regarding the training that they receive ("Nissan Tida machanics, having done their 1 day course, now trying service a GT-R"). So I'm not going to argue the point with you. Its Mechanics too mate, with an "e".

Where would I take the car out of warranty? Well I'd do it myself. Taken a gearbox out of a Turbocharged VQ before, so I doubt they'd be any issues with this. Parts are available from the US as has been linked.

I'm affraid I'm a stickler for quality workmanship. If anything happens to mine post Dec 2014, I'll be trucking my beast to SA for Martin & the Willall team to play with :D

Totally understandable. As am I. Thats why I do my own work with Mates, as I haven't found anyone I'm totally happy with. Except Jez who does my Tune work- legend.

The reason dealerships are so expensive is because the service side of things props up the sales side of things. I was suprised when some other people in a different thread said the margins of new cars are very small. Parts/service is the only way they can keep running.

Enjoy it and don't forget to shoot a video with the mid pipe roar! Plonk your Videocam on the road behind the car then launch it!

Should be quite sexy!

Awaiting your video...

Very nice,wait awhile then do a tune,the sound will be that little bit better again.

How does a tune affect the sound?? Interesting :P Nah no more mods. I am pushing the limits of warranty/no warranty already :D

Gopro Hero3 will be on the car over the weekend. I'll get some exhaust sound/vids for yas.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
