I'm afraid that's what you get with Nissan. Tida machanics, having done their 1 day course, now trying service a GT-R. Why am I not surpised.

Sorry mate, but your selling them a bit short there. I personally am good friends with a Factory GTR trained mechanic, and know that the Factory course that they do is very in-depth, involves them driving the car on a track. The GTR also has its own tool chest.

I was actually talking to him about this issue on NYE. He found the issue, videoed it, and sent it to Nissan long before this thread popped up. So far He's done 4 replacements.

I agree with you so don't stress about people who aren't actually in the game - GT-R OZ doesn't actually own a GTR R35, and has never driven one or dealt with Nissan servicing/warranty issues. Take what he says with a grain of salt :P

I'm good friends with my Nissan service manager. They are very professional. At one point I was getting hourly updates via SMS. If I didn't want them to repair it, It wouldn't be with them

Lol Wardy you're a classic! Why did you agree with me then? You say one thing then say another. Are you an Arthur or a Martha? You remind of a nerd I went to school with, just agrees with everybody to try and get some mates lol

Oh and by the way I have driven an R35 and I deal with Nissan all the time with issues on other vehicles. :yes:

Arthur or Ma Martha when you're telling everyone you can't get a test drive of a GTR in Sydney lol....

I said "yerp you're probably right" but I didn't say I agree with you. Get your context right... :D

I believe we were just talking about this on another thread. Try and keep up lol. :spank:

Lol 'Context' Too late to back track on that one buddy. :)

PN-Mad

I'm also curious to know how driving a car around a track and the fact that it has it's own tool chest makes for a better machanic? Certainly didn't make much of a differnce in this case did it? Maybe that covers the service costs. How much did you say Nissan would charge you Wardy for this work if the car was out of warranty lol. A lazy 12k! Hmmm now if I had an R35 that was out of warranty and needed this work done, where would I take it? Farrk!

You're joking right!

You mean you rented one! Ah! Good work champ, I stand corrected on that point. It was about time you got in the seat! :D

You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about regarding the training that they receive ("Nissan Tida machanics, having done their 1 day course, now trying service a GT-R"). So I'm not going to argue the point with you. Its Mechanics too mate, with an "e".

Where would I take the car out of warranty? Well I'd do it myself. Taken a gearbox out of a Turbocharged VQ before, so I doubt they'd be any issues with this. Parts are available from the US as has been linked.

I'm affraid I'm a stickler for quality workmanship. If anything happens to mine post Dec 2014, I'll be trucking my beast to SA for Martin & the Willall team to play with :D

Totally understandable. As am I. Thats why I do my own work with Mates, as I haven't found anyone I'm totally happy with. Except Jez who does my Tune work- legend.

The reason dealerships are so expensive is because the service side of things props up the sales side of things. I was suprised when some other people in a different thread said the margins of new cars are very small. Parts/service is the only way they can keep running.

Enjoy it and don't forget to shoot a video with the mid pipe roar! Plonk your Videocam on the road behind the car then launch it!

Should be quite sexy!

Awaiting your video...

Very nice,wait awhile then do a tune,the sound will be that little bit better again.

How does a tune affect the sound?? Interesting :P Nah no more mods. I am pushing the limits of warranty/no warranty already :D

Gopro Hero3 will be on the car over the weekend. I'll get some exhaust sound/vids for yas.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
