Hi guys,

Just purchased a 2007 370GT from a dealer. It was said that all good and all checks were done.. But you know dealers right? I want to take the car to get full checked and serviced if not done properly.

I live in Hills district Sydney and there is an Nissan dealer in Castle Hill Showground. Do you guys get your cars serviced in Nissan dealers or do you go some specialists for Import cars like Skylines? Do you have suggestions of where to go near Hills area?

Sorry, new here and lots of questions.. Appreciate your help :)

Cheers

Leon

Mechanically it is very similar to a 370z. I would try to find a good independent mechanic that knows Nissans. I don't live in that part of the country, so i can't suggest anyone.

you might have a good Nissan dealer there, but most turn their noses up at imports.

bled then changed sorry, was easy just had to disconnect the air filter assembly and coolant reservoir to access the drain plugs. Then after it was all flushed I used genuine Nissan Coolant. It wasn't necessary but I'm addicted to this car..

Unfortunately (Nissan Dealers) they hate our cars..... I bought mine from Hunter Holden on Victoria Rd Top Ryde. I have extended warranty with them so they seem to do a good job with servicing and fixing issues.

not sure how much they will charge you if you get it serviced there. Im on capped servicing since its got warranty still.

I wouldn’t say Nissan dealers hate us. They make money off us too.

Even Toyota dealers are envious of Toyota Mark X and Crown Athletes /Majestas imports.

Sales would probably get peed off cause the mech and car talk is way over their head ..

Just bought an upper radiator hose. Old one looked a bit worn. $55 from Nissan / Renault on Unley Road, S.A. OEM P/N 21501JK200 for reference.

If you have time to wait.. buy it from Amayama.. half the price.. shipping for 1 hose would probably be about $7-8 from Japan.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
