Japanese official recall case number: RJ-0698-0

Date issued: 12/12/2000

Number of affected vehicles: 12712

Production period: 03/08/1998 - 24/03/2000

Faulty component: ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)

Description: There is a risk that resistance of the terminals of the electric part inside the ABS control unit increases as the material of the terminals is inappropriate. In such a case, the ABS may be activated when not necessary, which in the worst case could result in reduced brake efficiency.

How to fix the problem:

The ABS control unit should be replaced with the factory approved replacement unit.

How can you tell if the problem has already been checked and/or fixed on your vehicle?

NISSAN STAGEA

GF-WHC34 WHC34-030101..WHC34-030661 N/A N/A

Hmmm so does this sort of thing get checked and fixed at compliance???

I have just spoken to Kristian @ Iron Chef Imports about this (always a helpful lad that one).

November 2014 was when the recall was issued, so any mention of it pertaining to Stageas would be mentioned after that date.

Feel free to take a look although neither he nor I found any mention of Stagea recalls after Nov 2014.

Same. Couldn't find anything.

I have had my Stagea serviced at Glen Waverly Nissan (Never again..), so would have thought they would have the VIN and details in the system. BUT I have been told Nissan Japan doesn't share recall info with Nissan Aus.

What the?

Try Ferntree Gully. They are happy to service imports and would be worth the drive for you.

They may also have a bit more info on recalls.

Epic lols at people owning 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hand owned minimum 10 year old cars thinking that Nissan is paying for anything.

Super mega epic to the power of rad Lol at this...

It's safety related man! I don't give two shits on who is paying for it. I'd rather know!

Actually despite my initial scepticism it looks as though all affected cars are eligible to have their airbags replaced if necessary. Either the airbag manufacturer and/or the car companies will be paying for all or most of the cost. The AA in this country is advising owners who need the recall to contact the agents. First the manufacturers are supposed to list the models and numbers of the cars requiring recalls and then they will start contacting owners. The MOT in NZ is going to supply details of imports to the franchise holders who would otherwise not have this information but the AA here is suggesting owners, especially those who have not bought their cars new from the franchise holders should contact them as soon as they find out if they are on the wanted list.

So watch this space!!

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
