Here is a bit of a time line, Just off the top of my head, I might add a few things later on if i remember.
40,000kms- boost gauge fitted, Beaudesaert exhaust fitted
50,000kms Steinbauer power module fitted ( has been re mapped 3 times now and finally hapy with the result)
60,000kms- Belt tensioner replaced under warranty
67,000kms Timing cover oil leak, gearbox removed looking for leak. Nissan discovered 3 sheared flywheel bolts. No questions asked the clutch pressure plate and flywheel changed no cost to me. ( suspect tis was damaged from factory or by dealer removing the gearbox)
80,000kms Picked up vehicle from nissan after the 80k service noticed the gearbox was much harder to shift and didnt feel like it did before the service.
86,000kms Gearbox started grinding in 4th gear
90,000kms exhaust removed and back to standard, due to overboosting issues, no further problems after exhaust was removed
97.000kms 4th gear syncro rebuilt under warranty. Noisy wheel bearing replaced under warranty, nissan also complete the 100k service while they had it.
110,000kms while my mechanic was doing the service attempted to remove the oil filter but had a lot of trouble, eventlaly the whole filter cover and oil cooler assembely shattered thanks to nissan overtightening it last service. whole oil cooler and filter housing had to be replaced
120,000kms removed middle section of the exhust and fitted a straight through pipe, improvment in fuel ecconomy, boost also seemed to run a lot more stedy and controled
150,000kms exhaust dump pipe cracked, re welded it my self, appears one of the brackets holding the exhaust was missaligned or bent when the gearbox was removed creating a stress point
154,000kms blocked fuel filter causing vehicle to stall under heavy acceleration in 1st gear,
167,000kms faulty radiator/resiviour cap loosing coolany while on Fraser island ( Luckly was able to pick up a varience in the temprature with my scan gauge before the engine got too hot and any damage was caused.
180,000kms used my aftermarket leas warranty to replace the leaky intercooler and A/C condensor fan in front of the radiator which stopped working. also had the wheel bearing replaced ( aparently had rust on them)
190,000kms Viscouse fan not working correctly or locking up. renewed the fluid seems ok now ( had it out 3 times making adjustments and altering fluid level)
200,000kms Leaky injector pump ( still runs like a dream) Discovered a cracked rear barn door and also cracked EGR pipe.
