V35 Cvt Oil

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

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

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)

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

toss a few brisbane based dealers your chassis number. I think the result may surprise you. that said I still pull 90% of mine ex japan as its easier and quicker for me.
