Did anyone else on the waiting list get an email from JPNZ about the workshop manual?

They're about to start work, want a $50 deposit, manual will cost $150NZ and will take 2 months.

Anyone keen?

i got an email, again im not puting a deposit becouse from all their other work im unsure what exactly will be translated, and what is including, and the quality of the job, if its done well, im willing to pay 150 but not going to pay 50 sight unseen for somthing that may be worthless

Yeah, agreed.

I think it's taking the piss a bit to wait this long with nothing, then expect 33% upfront with no guarantee of the content, or quality.

Their previous reputation certainly doesn't reassure me.

Hey Josh,

I have little luck with search also - it appears I suck at the internet, lol.

Do you have an oil leak from the drivers' side? So far I've not heard of anyone with that issue. I'm about to pull the plenum & passenger side valve cover off mine to 'fix' the leak for the third time.

13270AL612 – Passenger side valve cover gasket

13270AQ800 – Driver side valve cover gasket

Edit: Too slow (got distracted) - now there is more results for the search function :)

Well I hope you don't have the same problem as me then. My plastic cover is flexing slightly as it's tensioned down, so that the gasket isn't compressed enough in the middle (between two bolts positions) to stop oil leaking out. I'm going to have to take more drastic measures to fix it.

I guess what I'm saying is 'if it aint leaking, don't fix it", lol.

Ok guys I have a bit of an 4WD problem with my M35. Last week I had the tyres flipped on the rims and while doing it the tyre centre split the side wall of one tyre (their fault and trying to get them to replace it at their cost) Now they fitted a temporary s/hand tyre in the same 245/45-18 size but its a Bridgestone instead of the Kumho ku31 it had.

The Bridgestone has 2mm less tread depth than the KU31. Its only been on for a couple days and now the car has started randomly throwing up the 4WD warning light.

Could the attesa system be that picky that the s/hand bridgestone is causing the problem? I checked the fluid level and its fine, car drives as normal but when the lights on if I select syncro mode it won't drive the front wheels at all. If I turn the car off and restart it sometimes the light will not appear and then if I select syncro mode it works as normal.

Any help is appreciated as Im worried now that if they replace that 1 tyre with a new KU31, that tyre will be 2mm more tread depth than they other 3 and still cause this problem, so I may need to try and get another tyre replace so both tyres on the same axel are the same rolling diameter.

So does anyone know exactly what veriance Nissan have given the attesa system for rolling diameter?

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
