Skyline registration
Hi Stephen Unfortunately, we do not hold any official Nissan vehicle records so cannot assist you with your request. However, there may be someone in the club that has the knowledge required as to where to go from here? Good luck with the registration.

New member why is the forum so quiet
Hi.....welcome to the Forum Sorry, it is a bit quiet at the moment but it sometimes gets a lot busier then generally quietens down at certain times of the year. Feel free to post up any questions or anything to liven it up a bit 🙂 Good to have you onboard Trevor

FM radio replacement with DAB touchscreen
Hi....welcome to the forum This has been discussed before I believe and it appears that coding in the new unit is the part that causes issues. Having to be coded via the CanBus to identify the new unit requires Dealer level diagnostic equipment but it is worth asking a dealer how much they would charge you to code it in after physically changing it over yourself

Can unlock car without alarm going off
Sounds like you need to check the main vehicle battery for charge if it has not been used for a while then it has probably discharged

recalls
Haven't seen anything to suggest this action. Worth changing the oil more frequently and keeping an eye on any new noises but our 2013 Juke 1.6 petrol is not displaying any signs of premature timing chain failure (as yet...touch wood!)

Advice on flat battery
Hi Tina....welcome to the Forum I would entrust the car to an auto-electrician as they should be able to diagnose the fault by looking for a large current drain and isolating different circuits until the readings drop. It is time consuming more than costly to diagnose and will be easier to find with the correct knowledge and test equipment. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor

Nissan NV300 Gearbox Failure
Hi....welcome to the Forum Not sure if it is a common fault but if it is still covered by warranty then I would definitely get them to replace it for free. Let us know how you get on with it

1986 Nissan Cabstar engine replacement
Hi....welcome to the Forum You could just bypass the oil cooler in the interim to determine whether this is the cause of the coolant mixing with the oil. Not too bad this time of the year for temperature so shouldn't overheat the engine in the short term. Not sure of engine compatibility, sorry 😞

Np300 head set
Hi Jon....welcome to the Forum With the complications involved in wiring and coding in a later Nissan head unit it would be easier to directly wire in an aftermarket head unit from Halfords You can even get the wiring adapters and fascia plates from them

Brake Pressure Regulator
Hi....welcome to the Forum I'm not 100% sure but you may be able modify the braking system to take it out of the equation and replace with copper pipes to bypass it completely and remove it from the vehicle. It would only be used to compensate for weight and add more pressure to the rear brakes to aid braking, which probably not be too noticeable when braking. If it passes the MOT on brake efficiency then it would be suitable for road use.

Qashqai wing mirror problem
Hi....welcome to the forums It could be some corrosion on the mechanism (like a detent not popping back into place). Maybe worth spraying WD40 or similar into the mirror assembly to free everything up

Air con pipe missing
Hi Alan Here is a link to one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-LEAF-10-17-A-C-PIPE-PART-NUMBER-92480-3NL0B/382872527501?epid=12024233838&hash=item5924fb228d:g:vpIAAOSwrFlcn0O0

surging and severe knock when pulling away, the knock is intermittent
Hi Trevor....welcome to the Forum It could possibly be a vacuum leak as this causes similar symptoms. If you carry out an exhaust gas check (any MOT approved garage should be able to carry out a Pre-MOT gas test) and look for Oxygen (O2) levels above zero which suggest a leak in the intake or exhaust. Also, Hydrocarbons (HC) which should be very low (almost zero) which suggests that there is an ignition problem if high. Let us know how you get on with it. Cheers, Trevor

Can't access Premium Traffic
I think the signal comes through the radio antenna and may need setting up in the system to function correctly. Not sure also if it is a subscription based service

Nissan Note Door Handle Snapped
Hi....welcome to the Forum That looks incredibly poor quality looking at the amount of material that is actually retaining the handle to the door plate. I wonder if it is a warranty item as it would affect opening the door which is an MOT item?

Qashqai tips for future owner please?
I think it is down to maintenance and if the oil has been changed regularly then it stands more of a chance of lasting longer. I have heard of owners who have challenged the manufacturers and got it done under warranty.
