Servicing The R35 Gt-r

[GTR-N1]

Any technician/mechanic/engineer will have to undergo extensive training to work on the VR38DETT since it bears no resemblance to the RB from the ground up.

How difficult will it be for such an engineer/mechanic at our existing trusty workshops to get trained-up & feel competent to diagnose problems on the VR38DETT, let alone rectify issues and then service them?

Since so few mechanics at so few Nissan dealerships are being trained-up around the country now, how much in-demand would they be, if a few defected and went to a couple of our trusty workshops?

And even if a mechanic didn't leave his boss's dealership (despite even a personality clash), how tempting would it be for him/her to do after-hours work on a VR38DETT?

At what stage are we in with this game of 'chess' between Nissan Dealership CEOs and trusty workshop CEOs to obtain parts, tools, diagnostic equipment etc for the new 'beast'?

I've ed on too long already - I know. Tez

If it's of any help the service manual is available online now, but I guess the real issue would be experience on the ground. How many cars are coming into australia next year? It's only something like 200 or 300 right?

Diagnostics is a new ball game though isn't it?

And if I were a Nissan mechanic on 'not very high rates of pay' I'd be awfully tempted to do work on the side...

so long as I wasn't sick of seeing cars at the end of the day/week

Does not the COBB accessPORT read and clear DTC's?

[Martin Donnon]

The COBB AP does indeed read and clear DTC codes, understanding why the car generated them, and going about a fix for the problem is a whole different ball game though, and thats where experience with the cars comes in

[LSX-438]

I think most people understand that reading DTC's does not mean you understand how a car ticks.

R35 experience will be a bit thin on the ground for a while.
