#39 of 40 Re: New Replacement Vinyl Top Problem [leek4747] by 01wht35 Jan 09, 2009 (8:06 am)
Replying to: leek4747 (Jan 11, 2008 3:21 pm) I had the same problem with my 06 Touring Pike's. My problem lead to a tear in the top in under a week. I think part of the fabric material was binding in the the mechanical parts of the top. I noticed wear on the fabric on both side of the car, in the same place. The area is about 3 inches from the end of the windows at the upper corners of the top. Nissan replaced the fabric (3/36), but top still acts up on occassion. Note that my dealership sent the car to outside repair shop to replace the fabric, as Nissan does not preform that work in-house. Best of luck to you. Remember, all cars have their gremlins.
#40 of 40 Re: 2005 Nissan 350 Z Brake Pad Issue [grzygrl] by rdt1 Mar 24, 2009 (5:52 pm)
Replying to: grzygrl (Sep 06, 2005 4:57 pm) I had the exact same problem here in Canada. Asked Nissan dealer if they had a ceramic and/or heavy duty brake pad for the front, they said no, so I went and installed a 3rd party part 20.000km ago. Those replacement pads are still fine AND I don't have ridiculously large quantities of brake dust on my wheels all of the time (the crappy pad material had to go somewhere). Interestingly, they suggested the wear was due to my storing the car (in an underground heated garage) and that I had to service the calipers each season. Since I have stored cars for many years, I figured he was was making this up as he went. When I replaced the pads and rotors on my own AFTER storing the car for another winter, I confirmed that the calipers were not sticking. This confirmed my suspicions that the pad material was crap.
