Exclamation servicing 350GT in the UK

Hi all,
I would like to know everyones recommendations of places where they have serviced their 350GT.

I live in London and have tried a number of Official Nissan service centres but so far I have failed to find one that can actually provide a (confident) full service.

Here in Guernsey the company who import the cars from Japan also carry out the servicing of the imports as the main dealers wont touch them.

So, try and look for a *** import company who also have a garage.

I know I'm in the wrong forum since I'm in the States, but sorry, this thread sucks without pics of the car! I know it's the same as the G35 here, but there's something about an authentic Nissan badged 350GT...

In wrong section as well, but being it IS a Nissan, I'm suprised that a Nissan dealer won't touch it.
Does your Nissan dealers sell Z33's? Same powerplant as the 350GT's.

They do but claim that the chipset is different for the uk / us / *** market so they do not guarantee that the service will be 100% correct. Also the dealer I talked to in London also said that parts have in the past proved to be a problems for imports.

What I'm looking for is peoples experiences of servicing (especially the electronics) and where the best sevicing outlets are at.

Thanks to all in advance.

My Nissan dealer in Sussex serviced my car but I got the feeling they weren't that confident doing it. They couldn't help with the Satnav conversion. Mine was the first 350GT they'd seen in the flesh and all the staff loved it, so much so that the manager went and bought one from an importer in Scotland. 2 weeks later, one of the salesman sold it to a customer. he's currently looking for another one. They probably know a bit more now that they've had the managers car to work on.

Try Abbeymotorsport

Sorry if im a bit late but just caught this thread.

I used Nissan in Chelmsford, Glyn Hopkins. They did my very first service in october last year without any problems. Also parts are not a problem as most Nissan main dealers carry two computers, the normal parts one and a grey import parts one. As long as you give them your car chassis number and most importantly include the dashes at the end ie; 1234---E-- then you should be able to get any part inside 5 days.
