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.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
