Hi everyone in New Zealand, just thought I will check with everyone on where you usually send your car for service?

I have been sending mine to the Nissan dealerships in North Shore in the past but it's a bit too far away for me, so have tried the Nissan in Botany and the last service I did was in Nissan Manukau (new dealership who is currently sharing the workshop with Holden). They seems to do a pretty good job but price and the service included in a standard service varying slightly. The one at NS and Manukau tends to do just a standard service but the engine oil used is different. NS uses 10W40 as standard and upgrading to 5W30 requires additional cost while Manukau uses 5W30 as standard. The dealership in Botany charges abit more but included in the service is a result of the on-board computer diagnostic.

I have also sent my old v35 to Mag and Turbo. They claim that they know the car very well and even suggested that I upgrade the oil to 5W30. Their service was OK. They changed my brakepads once which causes the brake to squeal quite abit in the morning which they claim is normal when the brakes are cold although I am not entirely convince.

Anyway, reason for the post is just to see where everyone usually send their car for a service and how is the service in these workshops.

Thanks!

I have a PNM35 Stagea, which is effectively a 4WD V35 wagon, and I'll probably be doing all my own servicing, but just out of interest what are the dealerships charging you? It sounds like in Aussie they turn their noses up at imports but what are the NZ dealers like?

Hey Matt, so far the service cost at the dealership is pretty reasonable. Some dealership charges abit extra for the better 5W30 oil but the Nissan dealership in Manukau's standard service includes the 5W30 oil and is below $300. They also run a computer diagnostic on the car and gives me a report on anything.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
