Hello people

After an unsuccessful meeting with a member of our coat-of-arm near Melbourne airport, I will be needing a complete set of front panels etc for my V35.

Do we have a reliable supplier in OZ for the needed parts and who are they?

Any useful help here would be appreciated.

Cheers

Craig

As an update, the local smash repairer has it all in hand and looking at a 4 week turnaround. They have sourced all parts and repairs are under way.

Makes it easy

Handover inspection will be slow tho - want to make sure it is right

And they would have hit up Nissan local for it. I have a mate of mine the does V35 bits by the container load.

Good to see it is sorted. 4 or 5 figure sum?

Hey Chris

RACV has pissed us around for a week and only after I phoned on Friday (twice) did we get any action on them giving authority for the new light. Problem is now they are going straight Nissan with the hope that will make it somewhat more expedient than your estimate.

I pointed out that we could have done this 6 weeks ago and saved not only time off the road but also some stupid stuffing around with second-hand lamps.

Not happy Jan. And they know it!

They are going to hit the same wall I did. Nissan have to make them. They have. Minimum order request and I say that has been met but it is still 25th before production finishes for these orders.

Up to you in the end but that is nissan Japan saying that , not me.

Well, the world turns and time marches onward.

Seems Nissan Japan has done its bit and the headlights are made and we should land it Sydney on Thurs, hopefully here Friday or Monday.

Not holding my breath though. Been here too many times.

I should have given this another crack.. Usually when they tell me a date they are not far off it. Looks like someone placed a decent order for lights within the last two weeks.

Car is finally painted and awaiting the aforementioned headlight.

Pity that in these many weeks, they failed to notice the huge creases and dips in the roof turret. When I pointed that out to them, they were very surprised indeed.

The Painless Dent Removal guy was there and had a look saying that something heavy had been placed on the roof to cause that damage, not just a bump.

And my photos bear him out too.

    • No no, sorry I think I made you misunderstand. I have this Tee as well as the lines that go from there. What I am missing is the banjo bolt that connects this line (OEM turbo oil supply line) To this hole, this line is mounted on the turbo and reaches around it so you have easy access the oil and water supply being rerouted to this dual banjo port in the front. like this
    • Nothing at the moment as previously there was a crappy braided line going from engine block directly to the turbo. I have bought a used OEM hardline for the turbo oil supply, which goes from the engine block to the marked hole. I don't have any of the OEM banjo bolts for oil except the one at the block.
    • This is the tee No specs on the page I grabbed it from, out of stock there anyway. But it kinda looks like a 1mm pitch. Would not think it's going to be 0.75mm pitch.
    • OK, I'm with you now. The outlet of the tee that is banjo'd into the block. Dunno what it is, will have a scratch around. The M11 question is.....messy. The minor diameter of an M11x1.0 male thread is 9.917mm. This is smaller than the minor diameter of a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 10.08mm). The M11 major is 11mm. That's smaller than the major on a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 0.4375" or 11.1mm) so an M11x1 bolt should pass on the major side. The pitch of a -24 thread is 1.058mm, which is really close to the M11x1, so it should go in at least several turns. I would expect M11x1 to be loose in a 7/16"-24 UNS, at least until enough thread are engaged to make it stop screwing in, if that can happen. Probably wouldn't happen on such a short bolt as you're looking at on the oil tee. Keep in mind that 7/16"-24 is NOT a standard/typical 7/16" thread. Standard is 20. That's the UNF or fine thread. -24 is really fine. I imagine that Garrett chose -24 for the turbo housing oil inlet to get the number of threads engaged up. I would not expect Nissan to have an imperial (UNF, etc) thread on that tee. I would expect it to be metric (if it is a bolt thread) or BSP (actually the Japanese equivalent of BSP) if it is a pipe thread. Given that it's a banjo, it's going to be a bolt thread. If it looks like an 11mm will go in there, then 11mm seems likely. It is very possible that some clown has stuffed that thread by trying to jam some imperial "near equivalent" into it, perhaps with those hoses of yours. Got verniers? Measure up the threads on the hoses.
