Engin Posted February 25 Author Posted February 25 I got some more work done, using this topic as a notepad Recently completed Spark plugs replaced - NGK Iridium IX Oil & filter changed (again…) Turns out the Nissan dealership did NOT replace the oil filter during last year’s major service. It was already in the bin before I realised I should’ve taken photos and reported it… Front lower ball joints replaced Right knuckle replaced (OEM) (don’t ask) Boot popper springs replaced (heavy duty) Boot struts replaced I am going to add some more stuff to done and will create a to-do list Things done so far Major service at Nissan - NEVER again New tyres (Michelin Pilot Sport 5) Front bumper resprayed Headlights cleaned and restored - Needs doing again, looking to replace lens instead of cleaning this time. We'll see... Dashcam installed (Viofo A229 Plus, hardwired) Antenna replaced and base refinished - Chipping a little bit, what can I say, TEMU antenna Underbody may need rust proofing, will do it this summer Head unit is working when the car gets warm. I am guessing there is some kind of condensation in it, on the lens or sth. A-pillar finisher replaced Door seal replaced Rear wiper arm cover replaced New emblems bought – still not fitted OEM Spoiler installed Spark plugs replaced - NGK Iridium IX Oil and filter changed again Front lower ball joints replaced Right knuckle (OEM) replaced Boot popper springs replaced with heavy duty Boot struts replaced To-Do (not in order) Front lip Aluminium undertray Polybush kit Headlight lens replacement New antenna, preferably OEM Underbody rustproofing Fitting new emblems Rear strut is chipping a little bit, may replace it, may wrap it, idk probably replace at some point brake pads. Before 19th april brake kit? I am not sure about this one New rims. RPF1 preferred. When I have enough money to spare, maybe in 2-3 years lol Maybe, just MAYBE coilovers? want to keep her stock, but... let's say if I get RPF1s definitely, if not maybe. I need a clean auto knob. Older version. HKS Speed limiter defencer, must be done before 19th April 2 Quote

Engin Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 Thanks mate. I have no idea why I am doing what I am doing to be honest, pushing all the buttons to make sure this car lasts Quote
davey_83 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Shocking that was regarding the main dealer service, I much prefer to do what I can on my own car. Quote

Engin Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago Oh, almost forgot! It looks like the brake calipers were installed the wrong way around - the left one was on the right, and the right one was on the left. It took us a while to figure out what was wrong, but then we noticed the bleeding valves were at the bottom. Nobody touched the brakes in the UK, so I’m assuming this was done in Japan Quote
