Hi guys,

Just purchased a 2007 370GT from a dealer. It was said that all good and all checks were done.. But you know dealers right? I want to take the car to get full checked and serviced if not done properly.

I live in Hills district Sydney and there is an Nissan dealer in Castle Hill Showground. Do you guys get your cars serviced in Nissan dealers or do you go some specialists for Import cars like Skylines? Do you have suggestions of where to go near Hills area?

Sorry, new here and lots of questions.. Appreciate your help :)

Cheers

Leon

Mechanically it is very similar to a 370z. I would try to find a good independent mechanic that knows Nissans. I don't live in that part of the country, so i can't suggest anyone.

you might have a good Nissan dealer there, but most turn their noses up at imports.

bled then changed sorry, was easy just had to disconnect the air filter assembly and coolant reservoir to access the drain plugs. Then after it was all flushed I used genuine Nissan Coolant. It wasn't necessary but I'm addicted to this car..

Unfortunately (Nissan Dealers) they hate our cars..... I bought mine from Hunter Holden on Victoria Rd Top Ryde. I have extended warranty with them so they seem to do a good job with servicing and fixing issues.

not sure how much they will charge you if you get it serviced there. Im on capped servicing since its got warranty still.

I wouldn’t say Nissan dealers hate us. They make money off us too.

Even Toyota dealers are envious of Toyota Mark X and Crown Athletes /Majestas imports.

Sales would probably get peed off cause the mech and car talk is way over their head ..

Just bought an upper radiator hose. Old one looked a bit worn. $55 from Nissan / Renault on Unley Road, S.A. OEM P/N 21501JK200 for reference.

If you have time to wait.. buy it from Amayama.. half the price.. shipping for 1 hose would probably be about $7-8 from Japan.

    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
