Re: Non Nissan servicing??
Hi Crue,
There are 2 type of warranties on offer here, one of them is the Nissan Australia warranty which is 3 years or 60,000kms (whichever comes first) and the other is the dealer extended warranty which locks you to servicing the car at that particular dealer only and if services elsewhere will be void, this dealer warranty is not worth anything and you will find that you will save lost of $$$ if you service your car at another Nissan dealer (a cheaper one) or at any independent mechanic workshop that uses Genuine Nissan parts for the duration of the manufacturers warranty term.
The 3 year, 60K Nissan Australia warranty is the one you need to worry about and protect, not the dealer one.
Not all mechanics have access to Consult II or a diagnostic tool that plugs into the ECU, so it is advisable to still have the major services done at the dealers.

Re: Non Nissan servicing??
I'd take it to Bathurst in your case Brett and yes, the major service is an important one and better done at the dealer as there could be software updates which they will push out to your ECU which Ultratune won't have.
Also, the 80K service will include the radiator flush and coolant replacement as well diff oil replacement and you better be sure that is done correctly, especially the radiator flush and what type of coolant being used.
Your new engine is still under warranty I believe, so look after it.

Jalal, any idea whether Nissan would be prepared to hook up the consult and check the diagnostics for the right price.
I'm not sure how your dealer operates there, but it can be done if you ask them for an ECU re-set and while they're doing that ask them to run diagnostics 
Nissan does allow the supply of your own oil, but they won't accept another brand of coolant or diff oil. Only engine oil is allowed I think.
My 80K service cost me $349.00 and I supplied the spark plugs, engine oil and oil filter.
