scubapics Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 As far as I know, by law you can take it anywhere as long as they use Nissan approved parts to maintain the warranty. So take it to a local garage that you trust or one of the garages (Abbey?) that are mentioned on this forum. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Yup, take it wherever you want. Just remember that the sales and service departments are separate and while you've found the sales side to be rubbish (why did you buy from them if it was that bad?), the service guys could be brilliant. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrooky Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 good point,wessex was the only nissan dealer in south walea where i could order the 370z roadster,and that info came from nissan head office.i tryed local nissan dealers and they couldnt order one.so didnt have a choice.once they had your money they didnt care s..t.allways had new cars,but that service i had there was bad.that was the reason of my post,just didnt wont to go back if i didnt have to.i agree the service dept may be different.

Nissan HO were talking a load of Bol...ks, I use a local Nissan approved repairer, not a Nissan dealer, I asked them to source me the 370, they searched round the dealer network got exactly what I wanted. I bought it from my guy who will be servicing it in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 AFAIK, they need to be on some kind of approved list to sell the 370z - so a normal dealership who arent on the list technically cant order on. Things may have changed or the garage you use Malcolm might just be approved? If you look on the Nissan website I think there is a list on there. I say that was the way, as originally 370z were only going to be sold by HPC's but I think they realised that there werent enough of them around to shift the cars they wanted to shift.

geoff-r Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 dhrooky, where abouts are you mate? I bought my 370 from that dealer as I live just outside Cardiff. A little apprehensive about taking my car back there but I have a free service due from them so I'll take mine there, mind you it's not due till June.

Ebized Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 You might want to check if the dealer, if it is not one of the 'perfomance centres', are in a position to service the car as my local dealer (which I did not buy the car from) said they couldn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Bassetts in Swansea have now opened for business (about 3 weeks ago) and are approved dealers for the 370 - though they're not going to do the GTR. Experience with the range may be a bit sketchy at the moment, but they should learn PDQ anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont need to upgrade the turbos in a GTR to get 600HP, just a free flowing exhaust and a remap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
