Sounds quite good, suppose it depends on wot that service covers. I mostly do my own services, have taken to powerstation before and paid £350!!!!! When ever im at Nissan gettin parts all their guys look at my R like "wot is that???" its funny but that puts me off taking it there for a service!!!!!

im taking it to the one in colchester .i already phoned up and they have reassured me that they have had a few pulsars in before,they put one of the mechanics on the phone and he started talking boost controllers and stuff so they seem to know what there on about.even the receptionist knew what a pulsar was :shock: ill let everyone know how it gets on.

Not bad but make sure that they put the correct sparkplugs in think NGK PFR7B from memory or easier buy them yourself and hand them to them asking for the old ones back.
Get them to change oil and filter ,gearbox oil ,fuel filter and panel filter if you havent an after market filter.
As long as you tell them exactly what you require you should be ok.

if anybody is in the north london area you could take it to ironside nissan in winchmore hill on green lanes.
the guy that works in the service dept owns an 'R' and is really helpful

If the dealer knows their stuff you should be ok, they should have the manuals and the 'R isn't that complicated from a service point of view. In saying that I had big arguments after they managed to overfill and underfill the oil level on two consecutive services - how hard can it be to read a dipstick!? Price sounds like what I used to pay.

If you don't want them to drive your car,point this out in advance too to save grief later.Make a not of the mileage too.I was reading on another forum a guy had Defi guages on his scooby,mechanics took it out for an unauthorised thrash and when he checked peak readings later,peak boost was 1.4bar and peak oil temp only about 50 degrees :shock: .
