3.0 td nissan engine

Must be a " damm big workshop"
what do you do for a living ?
maybe
PR for " Oh What a Feeling "
but @ least the next couple days we know we will now get some amusement off this thread
I will stick my neck out & say now I am taking bets it will get to 10 pages!,
funny I am picking up a Ser3 from warranty today in a Nissan workshop for airflow meter & he said we are first he has heard of this problem, but thankfully for our client I must say
I heard it first on Exploroz.
I am not biased either way we sell variety, it is just that Nissan price Range appers to suit MORE secondhand buyers than Cruiser Turbo in same age group we deal in.

Yaaawwwn

As the WARNING at the top of the page says.......
"The accuracy and validity of comments within is undetermined"
another "yawn"

Can I please trouble you for the name of the workshop - could be a good contact for spare parts.

Lets keep it all on an even keel & no hidden agendas here now hey GO_OFFROAD, lets not forget the Toyo Auto few days ago on this site, he cannot even do 20 k without drama
REMEMBER
we all can only buy what they sell us & to put it simpler as I am so unbiased
You or I can only " P--- with thebleepwe have got "
not someone elses.
& in my unbiased experience there are MORE Turbo Nissans around & sold & available , so naturally we will hear about more here,
I hear plenty of negative vibes here re Nissan 3.0 Turbo, but no positive vibes about how Nissan released cheap extended warranty to give buyers faith in the 3.0 litre, why is that not aired > hidden agendas on these style forums I wonder ?
TRY buying a Turbo Toyota new or secondhand today & your choice is no doubt more limited,
& look @ new price of 100 Series compare to Nissan Turbo & as always
" $$$ RULES " it is usually easier to talk about it than pay for it
& because of so much more upfront $$ Toyo rarely come up for sale in early years, people cannot afford to offload them so frequently,
don,t get me wrong though I drive both regularly but find market for my living swings towards Nissans much more in our secondhand buyer anyway

To GO_OFFROAD re your reply to my post
as I said lets keep it even keel & unbiased
& to ANSWER your reply
" POOR PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD CHEAP THINGS "
& then you state to me that " sales figures over last few years do not back up my claims"
WELL LET ME BACK UP MY CLAIM CORRECTLY ONCE & FOR ALL as I have not got all day to have " slanging match " with more answers each hour
& If you doubt it come with me for a week on a buying trip & I am prepared to bet you will change your " closed mind quickly & take off the blinkers "
I do not wish to degrade anyone or to be degraded by unfactual info.
1) I said in my experience in my post we deal in SECONDHAND only so I only see secondhand for sale whether it be via Govt Tender or Govt Auction or Council Tender & I travel 5000k wk chasing these things & rarely see Toyota Turbo
2)In Govt because of $$ Limitations on purchase price when they buy them NEW not many are Toyota Turbo compared to Nissan Turbo which is priced to suit their limitations more suitably because they can buy Turbo in Base pack rather than 100 Series in GXL only & it is based above their allowable buying limit..
3) You say " poor people cannot afford cheap things " who knows but I know more people who can afford a secondhand Nissan Turbo than Toyota, whether I do not see the right buyer or stock I am only speaking from experience from who I talk to by enquiries hourly over the phone Australiawde & lets not forget now you have started talking about poor people ( & neither of us is Robin Crusoe in relation to that no doubt ) you then go on >
4) To say " sales figures don,t back up my claims "
Oh you are so correct in NEW,
but remember we were speaking poor people, customers I come across etc,
not NEW BUYERS who are being prefunded by salary packages etc, or Company Tax Benefits,The new figures look good in Toyota but get back to the real world like we were discussing take your new out of the equation & I have no doubt whose statements & figures will be correct.
What equates new @ $80000, he may keep 6 years on payments
What equates new @ $50000 he may keep 4 years on payments
So the two will never meet as a comparison factually ever
we are talking bread & butter average joe blow on such a forum
& I have no doubt my statement re my claim is backed up by numbers sales & as I offered earlier jump in any week & come with me & see for yourself.
Thanks for the reply , don,t take it to heart just compare apples against apples, not strawberries have a good day & enjoy, life goes on regardless

To Go _ OFF ROAD,
no doubt they cannot afford to sell them as quick !
but I personally have got Toyata anyway @ present & both seem to have regular buyers wanting them

Go_Offroad, I must say your provocative series 3 posts over recent times are "struggling" from lack of supporting evidence, except of course that from your bother in law's sister's'cousin's uncle's mate......

Read your post and thought: wonder if Captain has replied yet?

regards,

Darren the happy series 3 owner

Gday
Last trip to Mootwingii NP, we were speaking to the indigeous ranger, who was driving a 3 litre diesel something Nissan.....3rd motor in 40000kms......he drove it till it choked on dust and shat itself, then called for another......maybe thats why they have a bad rep. Coppers get in them and nail them cold, as does most gov depts....no wonder Toyota puts the premium up on their new vehicles....keeps the bad PR away.
Andrew

Are we up to page 10 yet, that is my thoughts,
BUT back to reality

I have been away few hours ( by train in case Nissan didn,t make it )
but seriously
whoever said re credibility of car dealers now you have really got me going !
I have got feelings yyou know & you just hurt them !
( after 30 years in this business it will take more than you to hurt them don,t worry )
you said about car dealers
we are out in the bush in a drought area & every time I feel like a fix I go to city & see traffic lights & unreal people !
all our sales are sight unseen by word of mouth Australiawide as we have 2 choices chase Australiawide or don,t survive, remember in a drought no pay comes in each Thursday, farms don,t grow noone gets anything in town either usually referrals so I believe our credibility stands the time ,
think about it would you hand over $40000 sight unseen, all or most of my customers do but before they do they know someone in their town who has also done it sight unseen & to do that we go on simple ground rules
1) Buyers are Liars & never forget it Sir ( every trade in is told to be as new until we get near it )
2) If in Doubt Miss It out
3) Less Sress is Best
4) If we are all still happy lets come & see if we can do business
No I don,t know Captain or Joe Blow or OFF THE planet or whoever but none of it worries me but I think poor Captain is definitely outnumbered !
I just think both sides of story always need to be heard
& I have heard more negativity re 3.0 Nissan here last two weeks than I had ever realised there could be, but I never see them sitting on roadside with bonnets up everywhere like you do with Falcons in hot areas towing.
Re me I have Toyota @ present but who knows next month
BUT never forget you I or anyone else on here handed over a cheque for something he did not want
WE all make our choice what WE PAY FOR
so let them enjoy it rather than tell them what a bucket of bolts it is, someone said what if nissan not help,
WHAT OTHER COMPANY has done cheap extended warranty for customers due to problem or publicity, I could just imagine Land Rover who cannot even sell their staff cars or Mitsubishi hanging under a cloud whether they will still be here giving help towards ownership/resale etc
ENJOY them all as you did when you bought them you all had your positives then never let that be forgotten.

IT WOULD BE A FUNNY OLD WORLD IF WE ALL LIKED THE SAME

To JOHN from VIC
all I read was what you wrote
" the car industry as a whole has a bad reputation "
if you think whatever is no grief to me,
the only ones I worry & care about are MY customers & prospects
I will never take it to heart but as I heard it on TV show last night re Physiotherapists $3000 to fix your back, that guy said as bad as car dealers,
you obviously think it to type it & create doubt in any readers mind
it is very similar to negativity re
3.0 litre
or negativity towards car dealers etc
It is water off a ducks back to me after listening to it for years BUT
YES
I read it here tonight & definitely not on one of my posts,
what in context of your mind may be different as to your answer but I read what was TYPED.
remember Less Stress is Best ENJOY the forum
I would not be on it if I did not want to be

REPLY TO ERIC ? from wholesaler Melb

Sorry but if you not sure where in OZ Jerilderie is we better keep buying our own stock ! ( just joking )
but that is why we do not buy any from wholesalers who naturally want their " earn " first. they all want to sell no doubt but we prefer council/Govt tenders where we can see what it is like @ sale rather than city detailed hiding who knows what
We deal solely in Ex Govt direct from Govt or Council & being from the bush & ask any Govt rep who chases the tenders further than any , they will know us, unlike city dealers in their back suits gold chains & sunglasses & are home on the plane for tea, we just wear jeans so we can go over & under every car to our desire & don,t miss many tender opportunities.
You may deal in similar age stock who knows but as you do not know us & I do not know you I personally believe we deal in different ends of the spectre, regardless we only deal in 2002/2003 ex Govt still under new warranty & buying is never a problem, selling is more of a problem, but Thanks for offer

Just to go back to the original post, GO OFFROAD referred to the shop "doing 3.0 blow up rebuilds".
What are they rebuilding? My understanding is that the motors are FUBAR and being replaced with brand new engines.

To Jimbo , re Eric he sounds great guy & we all here for a good time not a razzing no doubt

To John
Re you wrote this I wrote that re car trade
It is water off a ducks back to me after listening to such words no matter what context it was said in for years,
" remember sticks & stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me "
& If you wish to think that well & good I have a tough skin & can handle it just as long as you are happy is all that matters,
& If you think because of the way I interpret something on here means you can see I have whatever problems in life you stated never be afraid to make me aware of those as well, I am a big boy & can handle that too I just appreciate the grammar lessons or pyschology consultation WHERE do I send the fee, as there are no free rides in life as you would be well aware, have a good weekend, I am now leaving this post to get my mind in order out of negativity & into positivity otherwise I may miss a 3.0 Turbo sale tomorrow, I have been so turned against them tonight, it makes me wonder whether I am game to open the door of one again
ENJOY forums about time one on here got a bit of bite in it.

To OUTNABOUT DAVID
re my reply to Eric the car Wholesaler
I state here regularly I don,t like hidden agendas I like both sides to be aired on forum.
I on here would never approach anyone for business I am looking @ it " too much in time " for enjoyment.
When someone in same industry on public forum asks can they sell us stock & we both advertise on the site I believe that is not in the best interests of site members.
In my " eyes " it tries to make it look as if our business could benefit from his help thus making site members think we should go with whoever not Jerilderie if we need a car, as so & so is a better buyer or stockist. I do not believe that is good business etiquette, our email & phone number is in our advertrisement
I merely stated that in this industry travelling 5000k weekly & never meeting Eric @ a sale or tender & we regularly see opposition @ tenders & sales I do not think we sell same sort of stock, who knows we may but I cannot believe after years of doing it we would have come across one another somewhere.
Re my statement sunglasses gold chains etc, years ago as a young bloke @ auctions I used to look up to the " suit brigade" in this industry & think they were the " guns " as buyers, many years later I now know the difference, the ones in the " suit brigade " @ the sales never kneel down & get under the vehicle to see if it is good or bad in case they get the suit dirty or their sunglasses fall off, we are not that sort of buyer or business, take it as you like & maybe time for me in a business to keep off forums.
But never forget there are manty buyers around who appreciate help they are not all experts like you 4wd forum attendees & $40000 for a secondhand vehicle requires consideration no matter who you are.
To answer your question NO I am not saying buy from us compare to anyone else, people buy in the price range I sell where suits them , not where you I or whoever tells them, remember the internet has opened up public awareness & all our sales are done over it, I have no qualms who rings or buys where, you win some you lose some, different sorts of buyers & sales people, cannot suit everyone, & I reiterate NO HIDDEN AGENDA HERE, you read into it whatever you are happy with.

I think it was Captain who hit the nail on the head, when he said give us the name of one genuine series III blow up. (And I don't mean the local indigenous people who regularly drive cars into the ground.... or the guy who forgot to tighten his sump plug- they don't count.) There are none!
I have an aquaintance (no he's not my best mate) who has over 300,000 k's on a series III 3.0 litre- no problems and basically only routine maintennance. (The car is on the road 7 days a week with two regular drivers.)

I can tell you however about the workshop who rebuilds 'yotas, Pajeros, Cayennes and more. (If you believe any of that you are more stupid than I thought.)

Smile, be Happy.

man you guys don,t mind a squabble over there do you
is that go offroad over there that same guy darren mcrae from geeelong who is toyota fanatic had troopie now prado writes offroader and has shed site for his 4wd pics and antics if so hi and it looks like you have not changed i just thought it may be your shed where all nissans are hey bushhog

ZZZzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzz....

To Go_Offroad

" Oh what a feeling "

Well, I would like to thank everyone who didnt go to the shop mentioned in this thread, and didnt speak about what engines were which, where they went, and what they were going into, for trying to prove otherwise, defend a position, or pretend it doesnt happen, and an extra thank you to those who cant even remain on topic.

Who would of thought some simple information would draw so many people to either pull their head out of the sand, or stick their head in it.....8-)

Anyway, the facts remain regardless, enough said.

REPLY TO MEMBER DERIC from your followuo ID332119 9/8/04 @ 9.42pm
After 23 hr trip away last thing I desire is any slanging match re opposition
However let ME correct your reply
No, you did not only message me in member messages Fri night you put it on open web forum as followup ID 331745 6/8/04 @ 19.51pm
now 3 days later after I had answered your "pitch " to us both on forum & to you personally as a member message *
& you being online posting other posts yesterday ( 100 series re IFS changeover cost ) you desire to answer it public forum also as I would if in that position.
1 )See my answer re suit brigade to one of your fans & I not knowing you have any idea if suit fits or not but I speak my mind re buyers for many dealers
2)" also find cannot be much of a wholesaler " I never said such a thing all I said was we ONLY buy ex Govt not through any wholesalers & that is our perogative, just because you hoped that not to be the case from your original post to me is our choice & noone is going to alter that fact.
3) Noone said I or you know every wholesaler in Australia that is your words tonight.
4) Re hidden agendas anyone can go see you me or any car dealer in Australia & that is their choice.
Re any agendas one thing I have learned through this advertising campaign & forum replies etc is to not let business interfere with pleasure & as I judged by your post Fri night when our advertising commitment is over to Exploroz it will not be renewed & that is MY CHOICE.
