P3 Service - Low Car?

[Dave-350]

Ok, so as some of you can relate, finding somewhere that will service your car when its slammed to the floor can prove difficult.

 

Im heading over to Nissan, Waterloovile Friday to see if they can get my car on their ramps (They explained they have a GTR setup for servicing which is low entry, but I cant imagine its that low.)

 

Any other reputable garages in Hampshire that carry out P3 services that I can try?

 

I don't want some back street garage and ideally a Nissan specialist would be ideal, any suggestions?

Just take some blocks of wood with you.

 

Or find a garage with one of those ramps which is level with the ground so you can just drive straight onto it.

I had same issue when I had my v2 bumper, I didnt go to nissan specialists for service though I just got a list of garage numbers around the area, phoned and asked. 1 garage out of 15 could do it. May be worth doing that before driving to each one

[Dave-350]

Maybe I will take some wood with me and just explain that if they drive it, to watch out.

 

Last time a garage took my car they drove it into a kerb and smashed my V2.

Take the V2 off, Raise it?

Because that is a 2 second job isn't it?

Quicker than sourcing a new bumper and re-spray I know it's a ball ache to do, and I probably wouldn't either. But it's still an option

[Dave-350]

I would still have the issue of the skirts and the Y-Pipe/sump grounding out though as this is just as low

[KyleR]

Go look at the places, some places won't have the ramp between the uprights so you can just drive right in, others have a ramp that the wheels sit on, so again, no ramp to drive over and smash your sump

Yea I will take a look at WKB Nissan Friday afternoon. Hopefully all will be ok!

 

Any idea of P3 cost from Nissan?

Is that just a guess or? I was thinking of around £350inc VAT at most...

[KyleR]

I got my P3 at Nissan for about £250 i think it was and that included an additional couple of things I wanted them to have a look at sorting.

Depends on what you want from the P3 - Because most stuff are optional extra's.

I'd use that as a price guide, then adjust to 'nissan pricing'

[BulletMagnet]

I take these with me to my local garage

Do you need 2 sets to get the car off the other side of the cross ramp thing? Or do the CSBL skirts have enough clearance, just the Varis lip thats too low?

[BulletMagnet]

We always put the Zed on the four-poster lift, cos car is too low for two poster, mainly cos of the Chargespeed Sideskirts.

I bring these ramps to put under the ramps that go up the four-poster, otherwise the sideskirts scrape badly, the front lip is just on the limit

[KyleR]

Ah, gotcha

 

I think newer 2 post lifts would be fine, as they don't have much of a ramp to get over. Before I lowered the car or put the skirts on I had trouble getting over the ramp on an older 2 post.
