Can't find a good mechanic in Adelaide to replace the main rear seal. Nissan dealer is fully booked for a next few months. The engine needs to be suspended, removal of the gear box and the oil pan to get into it (probably starter as well) and place a new gasket proper, tricky. Anyone knows a good trustworthy place where it can be done?

 

Many thanks

French??  Is there anything French on these??

Anyway, I hope you are doing more than just the rear main, you will also want the 2 seals number 11121 and 11121+A as well as dropping and re-sealing the whole upper sump (assuming that is what you are doing anyway).  Definitely not a job you want to skimp on, nothing worse than chasing new oil leaks because of something you disturbed but didn't replace in the process.

These come from the era where the Nissan-Renault tie up was not doing Nissan product any favours. Started in 1999 and has made almost every Nissan since then a French influenced turd, compared to what it might have been if the insanity of the 80s and 90s had been allowed to continue (assuming that it could continue without Nissan going broke, of course).

That might be a bit harsh.  I have had a late 80s R series skyline, a mid 90s maxima, wife had a mid 00s maxima, I had a mid 00s V35 and now a Q50.  They have been an improvement each time.  I would t go back to any given the chance..

 

I would agree, the Renault alliance didn’t do Nissan any favours, beside saving them from bankruptcy..  but Renault didn’t really have that much influence on Nissan vehicles they weren’t co-developing.

It's way off topic by now, but I have to agree the quality of engineering went way down hill. The level of additional power  you can make without breaking things and the general reliability under heavy use like racing of the standard parts in R chassis is very unusual.

But it did have to change, Nissan was loosing money on every car they made which is never going to last

It's been 10 years man, they removed Ghosn. Get over it :P

Didn't they remove him in a violin case (#yesitreallyhappened)

Anyway, those cars look nothing alike, one is white and one is silver.

It is nissan who keep copying camrys.

Haha love this conversation.

holden and Toyota shared models,

Commodore/Lexon

Camry/Apolo

Daiwoo was owned by Holden

Hyundai was Nissan (I think)

Kia is owned by Ford who also own Mazda

BMW owns VW and a few other too I think.

 Nissan and Renault are apparently one of the same.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
