Advice For Servicing 370gt

[snowysea]

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.

Yep, you will barely find a single Nissan dealer in Aus that will go near modern Skylines - they hate grey imports with a special passion.

A service is just fluid and filter changes though. Anyone can do that.

Its only when shit goes wrong there's difficulty in getting imports sorted.

You are right there Ben,there's only one work shop in my town who will touch my 33. :-)

If you happen to find a Nissan Centre that will service it, let them know to follow the 370Z schedule.

In Perth, there are a few that are welcoming the grey imports.

My local Nissan dealership back Gero where happy to work on my car. Not that I took to them often.

They did my locks and I ordered a few parts. Parts cost a bit

Just services it my self yesterday, Pads, Filters, Oil, bled coolant. Super easy!

[colin.ssc]

Yeah I normally bring my own parts in myself instead. But since I moved work place I have not brought the car back there since its too far

Just bled coolant or changed and bled?

[N3ptuNe]

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.

[N3ptuNe]

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 ..

[snowysea]

Thanks guys.. Would you ever consider to take it to Infiniti dealers? Because of the badge, they must charge more than Nissan dealers for the same service. Thoughts?

[V35_Paul]

Not many of them around.

But I bet they would have parts for the V36

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.
