Howdy all,

Has anyone else seen this issue?

It doesn't seem to matter if its hot or freezing the passenger side outside door handle when pulled open it sticks maybe 1 times out of 5 so you get in and the door wont close untill you get out and push the handle towards the car and it clicks back in.

Anyone seen this or has any idea on what i could do? I have a Nissan service tomorrow so i can ask them but thought i would quickly pose the question.

So yep took the car in for its 30,000 service just for everyones information it cost 330 with fully synthetic oil.

The door handle i showed them the issue and they thought the bolt was loose but apparently when they took the trim off the mount for the handle was actually broken, and they had to take the windows and everything else included out to get to it. In the end they built a new bracket from scratch as they saw the price of the door handle and thought it easier and cheaper to make a bracket. So that just cost $100 more. And now the door works perfectly.

Now, THAT doesn't happen much any more these days. Good on those guys for being innovative and looking after you. They deserve a mention here - on the assumption you're happy otherwise with the services, that is. And they're Adelaide? Long way for me to drive for a service unfortunately... :ermm:

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.

      STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
