I thought about commenting on this thread over in the FS forums, but best to do it here:

Firstly, the asking price is very good and better than Nissan Oz could do (retail or trade), so go for it. However, it's not correct to say that Nissan 'don't want to know'. In fact, this oil is available in the Nissan warehouse in Western Australia and any dealer in Australia will get it in for you (if they act dumb or try to fob you off, then I suggest finding another dealer). Unlike other makes, Nissan Australia has a policy of supporting all the vehicles they make, including gray imports (try getting Honda Australia to import a part for one of their cars that wasn't officially sold here....).

Thanks for pointing out to everyone that I am selling it at a better price than anyone else :D

Not sure though why you would want to defend the local Nissan dealerships, maybe you work for them? I called TEN local dealerships, (admittedly not one from WA, but thats a million miles from anywhere) and either I was told flat out that they would not help me, or that it was too much trouble. Even worse, all of them didn't really have a clue what I was talking about and just told me to pop in Maxima CVT oil. So when I say they 'don't want to know', I think I have enough experience with them to be able to say that. How many do I have to contact before this 'policy' you talk about comes into effect?

The main point is, no matter what feel good policy Nissan Australia has, they can't offer this oil at my price.

No, I don't work for them, and I only needed to ring one to find this out. Not because of you, but someone else I know who claimed they had to import the oil from Japan in the same way.

Judging from the above, I'd say your attitude has a lot to do with your problems (and I'm not really THAT interested to continue with this....)

SteveL,

I too have no trouble importing parts for M35 Stagea... and you think V35's are difficult? EVERYONE knows what a Skyline is!

I just call Ferntree Gully Nissan or Gary Rogers Nissan down here in VIC. Neither have an issue looking up or getting parts in (max 10 business days).

However, I have also asked other dealerships about parts (or even a service) and I am put in the 'too hard basket'.

I mean I even had to convince one that my car can be read through consult!

So I guess I understand where GoldV35 is coming from. Talking to dealerships that don't want to step outside the square and refuse to give you that time of day can get you pretty pissed.

You are lucky that you have found a good Dealership.

The other three that I know of are Hornsby (NSW) and the 2 Vic dealerships I mentioned above.

I do not know of any in QLD that would help.... although they all should. Money IS money after all.

If you weren't interested in continuing, you wouldn't of made that last comment, and I don't have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem :D

Seriously, is this what you do with your time in between jerking off the internet porn?

Wow, you called ONE Nissan dealership and all of a sudden you are the expert on their policy.

Next time you feel the urge to do something stupid, don't. Thats advice your mother should of taken years ago. (hope that didn't go over your head)

(and I'm not really THAT interested to continue with this....)

Thanks mate, you are an example of unbiased and thorough research, SteveL is a bit of a toss though.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
