I struggle to understand, what is it exactly you are after?

It is actually a good thing that you don't have to visit Nissan. Those morons struggle to figure out what Patrol and Y61 have in common.

You do the service work yourself and have a mechanic to do more complex work so what do you want Nissan st$alers for?

They must do safety recalls, indeed they'd track you down through motor registrar if need be otherwise Nissan AU will be in a lot of trouble if that was a cause of an accident and dealer refused to carry out the recall because you have 3" exhaust and 2" lift kit.

If there is a recall for EGR valve functionality would you take it back?

In any case what recalls are you sweating about on 10+ years old vehicle?

If you are concerned about possible airbag recall than that has nothing to do with engine mods.

This is why I started doing services myself, warranty usually isn't worth the paper it's written on anyway. You can get the filter out with an aux battery no worries, just gotta pull it out lengthways... I suppose that might be beyond some service centres -_-

Well, I thought I'd mention, that my car was serviced there on Thursday, and this time there was no hiccups at all. There is even more things in the way, of getting to the filter, like a battery and catch can etc... And they didn't' say a thing.

Is there a reason why you don't do the servicing yourself Eric?

I change the oils, filters my self, even though I'm not confident with it, I still do it, as it's not rocket science.
I take it to Nissan as I have service vouchers from when I bought the car. Have one more to go. Its the only reason.
