  1. They don't want to listen to what I say, they know best, thats why the have that logo out the front, which also matches the one on their shirt.

    I have already embarrassed the service manager there already when I took my car down their to get the consult put on it to test the BCM. He didn't want to do it saying that "I don't want to hook it up for half an hour and have to charge you $50 and have no result"

    He eventually conceded and hooked it up, when returning the car to me with the printout, showing a fault in the ABS that cleared straight away and one in the TCU which wouldn't clear, I asked how much, he replied "don't worry about it" choking on humble piesick.gif.

    Fault with TCU was a brake switch fault. Nissan response "we don't know where that is, on the outside, on the inside, we have no manual"

    Contacted CVT.CO.NZ and the first line that I got back in response was "They don't know what the are doing", there is no brake switch on the gearbox.whistling.gif

    This is the kind of "expertise" I have to deal with when I go near the place, they get upset when you tell them they are wrong, bitch up when you prove that they are wrong, then they bullsh*t you till you walk away holding your head, IN PAIN.

  2. I have a 2002 V35 gt8 with a fried BCM, when ignition on no headlights or wipers, when ignition off and car locked wipers working and headlight flickering.

    Have obtained a new BCM from Nissan but after booking in to get it fitted (waiting a week), and a couple of hours in their service bay to be told that "we can't program it".rant.gif

    Contacted another Nissan dealership to be told "We dont do a lot of imports and were not setup to do that sort of thing"

    My question is, has anyone had to program one, if you were successful, who and where?cheers.gif

  3. United 100 :)

    James noticed that his untuned HKS V35 ran smoother on it. He then tried V-Power and the car was stuttering randomly when cruising. Dunno if it did it on BP Ultimate (I think it did), but for comparison he was quite surprised with how much better it ran on the United 100.

    Could also come down to the fact that my BCM is FRIED, new one getting fitted tomorrow :thumbsup:

    These are a few of the poeple with higher kms. I'm a bit sick of people saying its a grenade. They got that rep because idiots in the US (and here too) didn't know how to tune them. Lessons have been learnt. I'm not saying its a strong as a VQ25, but don't underrate them either.

    Agreed, and the same goes to the people that have a prob with the CVT in the GT8, 3 months since I strapped the turbo on and I havent had a single problem with mine.:cheers:

  4. Shiva:

    Contact Import Monster with your intensions of a group buy, and you will probably start dealing with Rob in the Japan warehouse and he would be able to get in contact with the seller to organise a better price.

    Asian company's aren't a big fan of e-mail.

    I dealt with Rob for my headlights and I didn't pay GST as I payed via paypal to their account in Japan.

  5. You should have 2 list's going #1 Coupe #2 Sedan.

    Pics of the coupe lights

    By the look of the descriptions the coupe lights run all standard gear (globes & balast's) but the sedan one's require a H7 low beam globe which means a whole new kit.

    The wiring should be straight plug-in, I have the set for the sedan and they just plugged in.

    The squid rings/angel eyes on the coupe version are CCFL but the ring on the sedan is LED.

  6. +1 if they have them for the sedan!

    This is a link for the sedan ones, I have a set on my car already.:whistling:

    Low beam is H7, so you cant use original HID setup, you will need to get an aftermarket set.

    On the plus side if you are running the aftermarket setup on your factory lights, like I was, you would only need to buy new globes.:cheers:

  7. Why bother trying to convert US spec ones to RHD?

    Link for chrome finish- http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page17.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v226738996&thumb=http://f7.auctions.c.yimg.jp/f44batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/7/2/0/5/carstudio2006-thumb-1329293216359153.jpg&title=V35 CCFL

    And if you ask the guys nicely at IM the can get in contact withe the store and source the blacked out version.

    Seems cheaper and easier to do that than get them from the states and then have to pull them apart before you even put them on the car.
