interested in knowing who's taken their skyline to a nissan dealership for a service before and if they have any opinions?

my 40,000 is coming up, i'm struggling to find a workshop who accepts fleetcard, so i have no other option. just booked it in...

any good, bad or ugly stories and which one in particular???

cheers,

i have a friend who took his 180 to a nissan dealer ... he said they were shit house and did not know what they were doing ... he said they probably know lots about the cars they sell here ... but they knew nothing about his 180 .. he never took his car back to the dealer again!!

go to a performance car specialist i say if u dont' want to do the service yourself.

spark plugs, engine oil, oil filter, air filter, $hit, can't remember the rest as he rattled them off too quickly. most of the disposable's i guess plus other adjustments.

hippy, what service centre was this? and why specifically were they shit? why did your friend think they were mechanically incompetent?

one of the main reasons as to why i dont want to do it myself is because i want to put it through my fleet card.

yeah, fortunately im not located in melbourne :P

but i think i can trust a nissan dealership, of the dealerships i know, they won't screw you around with labour charges and i believe they are set priced...this was my experience with subaru anyways...

Hey Franks from personal experience i would not send your car in for a service at a nissan dealership. I had a new nissan maxima and after all the shit i had been through with nissan i will never go back. In one case they didnt even change the oil on the car which led to major problems!!! Franks i would persevere and try find someone else.

What about that place - Western Toyota. I always see them in the Friday tele selling Skylines. They must have a workshop with skyline experience and being a Toyota dealer, the should do fleetcard. I dunno - it's just a guess....

Franks, can't you just get the service done at CRD or Hills or where-ever and then claim the amount back from the Novation Co ?? When I had my VT SS dunnydore, and before I got the fleetcard (Optus were really slack at organising novated leases) I just used to pay & claim the whole amount back, the calim would go against the Novation payments for the month - then viola, tax free service.

I bought a 200xs from Northshore Nissan, and had it serviced there, they were fine, even replaced some warped rotors under warranty for me. In the mid 90s they were Nissan's performance specialist dealership and they seemed to have better than average knowledge. It was a locally delivered car of course, but lets face it, they didn't sell many S14s.....

Whatever you do don't take it to the dealer on the Northern Beaches. The X-Trail was pinched from there, key and all. Just imagine how long a Skyline would last....:P

AND they had the temerity to wash their hands of the responibility...:hellpisd: :cuss: :Bang:

I'd do what Brendan suggests. Contact your leasing company and see if you can be reimbursed, then take it somewhere decent. :uh-huh:

*ouch*

My friend had her Rav4 pinched from the dealer too, I think it was in the hornsby area?

I think franks doesn't wanna front with the cash as it takes on average about 4 weeks for the cheque to arrive?

Then another coupla days for it to clear :P

    • 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)
