Sounds like diff bind to me. If it only happens when turning. I'd say its quite possibly normal. You should hear the noises my rear diff makes reversing up my driveway every time... Lots of crunching, followed by bunny hops etc, etc. Check out NAGTROC as well. For sure someone has had the same issue there

5hit load of bubble wrap?

Yerp, you're probably right.....

Cheers Martin. Thanks so much for your advice on this situation. I was worried that they were doing something un-necessary.. I guess I'm not really angry about what happened, just angry that I'm back to work next Wednesday, and I've been without the GTR for most of my Xmas break..

Interesting, I was under the impression this cannot be done without a Cobb???? They probably just updated the touch points and done

Nah I met the techs yesterday, and he seemed fine (unlike myself lol).. I just didn't think they needed to remove the dump pipes from the car to get the job done.. A bit strange really.....

Pity you don't post to Bris

Well, looks like I won't be getting the GTR back today, and probably not until the end of next week after I'm back to work. Nissan have contacted me this morning telling me they have sheared 2 of the stainless bolts off back of the turbos, and now awaiting advice from Nissan Japan as to whether its now an engine out affair.. I'm not sure what has to be removed to gain access for the bellhousing replacement, but do they have to take the dump pipes out to get to everything??? Either way, this is MEGA disappointing - I'm fking spewing........

Sure did. Nissan Aus gave me the all clear

Sounds more like a rant than stating the facts. As far as China manufacturing, I lived and worked in the construction industry in Hong Kong (most famously built Ph2 Hong Kong international airport among others ) and dealt with a whole host of Chinese manufacturers over a period of 7-8 years. Yes, there "can" be issues with fabrication, same deal with your iPhones, TV's, laptops, fridges, washers and dryers.. From what I can see, Willall employ a strict pass/fail QA/QC regime as do all companies who have goods manufactured in China. While I'm not really defending Willall (Martin is more than capable to do so himself) from what I can see of my mid-pipe - it looks the goods and fabrication is top notch - and customer service is 2nd to none Thanks again Martin for getting the mid-pipe to me before xmas!! The day of reckoning - 27th Dec is coming so quickly! Cant wait to pick her up from Nissan with more angry + rattle free on the 28th (gonna be the best xmas prezzy ever!)

If you ever want to reduce under floor and under bonnet heat, get things Ceramic coated... I did this with a Sydney based Hitec made turbo back exhaust for my last Subaru WRX STi Spec R. Worked a treat keeping heat in the pipe and forcing it out the back - So much so, after a hard run I could take any part of the exhaust with my bare hand and it did not burn me!) IMO, with the amplitude of underbody airflow generated by the aero of the GTR, I seriously can't see the exhaust having any major heat issues. I've left my mid pipe as is and without ceramic...

I'm a structural engineer in the Petrochem industry. You must have had a dud - In my 22+ years experience the weld and assembly quality on mine is perfectly acceptable. Each to their own though, I'm happy with the purchase. If I have any issues with it, I'm sure Martin will send me a replacement.

I'd be interested in a Group Buy at that price. $240USD is much better than the original RRP!

If its anything like the youtube vids, I seriously can't wait. I managed to hold out 13 months of ownership to do this mod worried about warranty issues, but it just has to be done

Parts are in, Willall midpipe has arrived. All go for 27th Dec

I think if you want to see something mental, check out the Willall Video of their black GTR with a custom Launch Control system in development!

My turn for a Willall Titanium mid pipe. Goes in during the bellhousing replacement late Dec

Bargain for a LTD edition Gold Bolt

Very proud, very intelligent. Just jokes man. If you can't find a dealer that treats you like a king, go interstate like the rest of us!

Opti-coat is the beez kneez. Mine was coated just over 12 months ago, and it still repels water like the first day it was done. The paint correction is the key, and these guys have done a great job on the blue.

~$159k (from the same dealer I got mine - Magic) - was watching the $ drop over the last year on carsales 500kms as noted on the first post of this thread

Nup, not joking, especially on the "joy rides" part.... Maybe you should buy a Porsche or a Merc especially if they're willing to suck your c0ck to get you buy a car LOL

Indeed they are much better. Magic Nissan in WA flew me over to test drive my 2010. Deal was done very easily and without a deposit, couldn't have been more happy with Nissan. Maybe you look a bit dodgy GT-R OZie

Fcuk me this is real bad. I wonder if Australia will ever ANCAP test the R35....

Man, get over it. The last few posts I've been TROLOLOLOLing you, which has proven worthy of a few giggles. NISMOGTT is right - right or wrong we all have opinions. If you're trying to get me to say "you're right" its not going to happen. That is just the way of the world. Merry Xmas
