Am I Being Too Fussy?

[Dagabond]

I hope Cro has a good sense of humour [mental picture of Ken being pushed off very big cliff, by an angry Croation man, his ring destroyed forever] :augen:

[Antisocial]

ooooh I'd pay good money to see that!

Cro .... you may have trouble with #14 as damage like that must be reported within 7 days of delivery.

Also my dads AU Fairmont used a lot of fuel and after way too many complains they finaly discovered and replaced a faulty fuel pressure regulator... all better now.

Good luck, will keep and eye out for you this weekend.

My post may get a little OT

You can never be to fussy. I wish I was when I got my Pulsar SSS. On the scheduled services I would tell the dealership that reverse gear was a problem. They said they checked, and nothing wrong. I'd remind a few more times at other services and they said there was no problem. After a while I thought that it was maybe just the standard gearbox thing. Then when the warrenty went out, a few months later my second gear would pop out every now and then under deseleration. I took it to them, they tested and fault didn't repeat. I then just gave up... Bad thing. the Gearbox shat itself and I was up for a $3500 rebuild (labour was the killer). I got my dad (who is a way better negotiator than I am) to call Nissan Australia. After quite a few phone calls to them etc, nissan said 50/50. We agreed and that was that.

Then a few weeks after picking it up 1st gear would sometimes pop out. I took it to the dealership and they couldn't see how it would happen (considering that it was a "new" gearbox). Then after going back and forth and guess what. They saw that the engine mounts were sagging and all they did was adjust one of the mounts that aligns the motor and Problem Solved. Basically, my gearbox shat itself (2nd gear to be exact) because the motor was slightly out of alignment because of the sagging engine mounts. Since then no problems. Oh... Apart from the clutch fork breaking and costing me quite a few hundred dollars to get fixed. That was the final thing that made me decide to go and put a deposit on the XR6 T

Ken, no comment.

Aniken - CroatiAn, and there are a lot of cliff's comming on the August cruise

YCL - 14 was reported and they fixed up one, but not the others today, they forgot about it and will do it next time I'm in.

I'll also keep a lookout for a White turbo

I'll mostly be in the City (Rex hotel to be exact) for a shoe sale, but hopefully make it out to Tuggeranong later in the day.

KrasH - I also had a whole lot of problems with my pulsar, but I didn't really know they were problems cause I didn't have a site like this to reffer to... In the end I ended up getting an engine re-build cause it was drinking more oil than a piston slapper... Reminds me of my current problem...

[Cro]

1. Brake shudder

2. Wheel alignment because of brake shudder (at least I think it is) (I can only imagine what it will do to the life of my tyres on my high speed trips).

3. Rattling noise when idling (Was told it was the heat shielding around the exhaust)

4. High oil usage, topped it up twice since I got the car (at 3500kms now), also want an oil change

5. High petrol usage (no smart ass comments please)

6. Surging in reverse gear

7. Car stalled on me 5 times, why and is this bad for it?

8. Front drivers side blinker doesnt work

9. Change from 1st - 2nd, 2nd - 3rd and vice versa are really harsh, I get knocked around when the change occurs (in all modes)

These problems I would like fixed, but are not urgent

10. Whistle from sunroof over 90km/ph

11 Plastic on drivers side rear pillar broken when car kit was installed by dealer's contractor

12. Interference between mobile phone and stereo (I was assured by the installer that it is not normal)

13. Alternator or Turbo whine through rear speakers

14. Scratches on body noticed when car was picked up

15. Slight imperfection on metal work above drivers side tail light

16. Scratches on Sunroof glass (I was told it wasn't tinted, but is a darker glass so nothing can be done)

1. Disks machined

2. Problem gone with disk machining

3. Heat sheilds around exhaust tightened

4. Will be put on a consumption test when I get back from my trips. They put some new Shell Fully Synthetic oil in the engine. I don't know why they used synthetic oil, but anyway they even gave me 2L spare incase I needed it.

5. Will see if the computer update will fix this

6. Computer update applied, haven't had the problem yet

7. refer to 6

8. Fixed

9. See if it gets worse as when the service guy took it out he didn't think it was a prob. Next time I'll make sure I'm there

10. Consulting Ford

11. Cover is on backorder

12. I need to call the guy who installed it

13. Consulting Ford

14. 1 scratch fixed, forgot to do the others I mentioned

15. I'll let this one slide

16. Will get glass replaced next time I'm in. Might even fix my whistling noise.

[KEN 24T]

All round good result really ... are you happy with this?

[Cro]

Happy about everything but the oil consumption...

I hope it doesn't stuff up my engine..

All in all, I'm glad to have Gadan back :D

[Cro]

Looks like the wheel alignment isnt the cause of the shudder when cruising between 90 and 140.

Service guy reckons its the thingo between the tranny and the diff. Can't remember what he called it.

Also said some thing (which I think is crap), there is only one tool to fix this in NSW, and it is rotated from dealer to dealer...

Also reckons it iwll take over 3 - 4 days :(

Will get it checked out after this weekend if they can get the tool!!!
