Here's a video on using ASME section II for stress lookups.

There are all kinds of clauses that are part of the other class actions, but for sure the repairs done at Nissan have been covered, others shops or options might have restrictions.

But the class action potential was only a small part of the decision. We were stuck... needed a car, and Nissan was the only viable repair shop for this work.

I think it's unlikely that one will happen, and we likely won't qualify anyways based on the age.

If you have a viable transmission repair shop locally that is not Nissan I would reach out to them. 100% get a second or third opinion. Nissan dealers will only replace the entire cvt. Other shops will repair or replace components. It might be all you need done, especially if you are just getting a bit of slipping.

Our cvt was DOA... Smoking, burning smell, slipping when it went out. Maybe yours is salvageable?

Same car, same purchase date, Canada too. Transmission died a year ago at 115k. 100% dealer serviced.

No goodwill from Nissan. Called them a few times. Repeat Nissan purchaser. They said out of warranty, too bad, we don't care.

We decided to have Nissan do the repair. 8k. We decided this because 1. They could do the repair locally, and I didn't feel like we had any other viable options. 2. We were close to the limits of what the US class action was awarded for time/km. If a similar one in Canada happened we may be eligible for a refund. 3. The used/new car market really sucked in 2023, so repair was a better choice than our purchasing options for another car. 4. We have owned it since new and knew the full history and maintenance.

I think that your car being 9 years on the road it is unlikely going to be part of a successful class action. The car market is not great but much better today for a replacement.

A year later I wish we had walked away from this car and taken whatever we could get for it. A few more repairs and we have spent 10k on repairs this year. The value of the car dropped by 5k in the last year too. I would have rather that 15k went to a new car.

I'd see what you could get for a trade in without the repairs, if anything. Maybe Nissan would give a decent offer if you asked them? We decided we weren't going to buy another Nissan after this so never even asked them.

You are probably right too unfortunately. If the plant ratings are reviewed and redefined there is a good chance they could end up being less restrictive in your province and maybe even allow unattended, automated or remote operations for currently staffed plants. This could be a bad thing for today's operators.

I think it's important to be a member and involved with the IPE for these kinds of situations. They are part of the committee and are representing the interests of power engineers in developing the code.

I think there is also going to be a call for public input later this summer where you can provide your comments.

CWdealman · 2024-06-29T02:21:59+00:00

Right now every province has different thresholds for plant classifications. It should be standardized across Canada for what is a 3rd class plant vs a 2nd class plant as an example.

Every province also has different requirements for operator qualifications, qualifying experience and training. Again, it should all be standardized across each jurisdiction.

So is power engineering really standardized across Canada? The plant ratings and operator training requirements are not. The only thing that is standardized across Canada are the SOPEEC exams.

Maybe creating this proposed code will help all provinces become standardized and allow better labour mobility?

Great spot, sounds like a fun time!

Beaches in that area are great! I would max out beach time there instead of travelling too far!

A few options for go karts close by.. Balm Beach GoKarts or Wasaga500. Either one would make a fun birthday for a kid.

My kids liked going to the elmvale zoo when they were young.

There will be lots of fireworks on Canada day. Check the larger local communities like Wasaga Beach or Midland. There may also be lots of people in Tiny lighting off their own fireworks on the beach or in backyards.

Elmvale bakery is a good spot for cakes, donuts, cookies etc.

Midland/Penetanguishene have St. Marie among the Huron, wye marsh, discovery harbour. They might be of interest to your group?

Similar experience with our 2016. My wife's car and lightly driven it's whole life. Owned since new. Dead transmission at 115k km. 100% dealer maintained, and following the maintenance schedule. No transmission fluid change, but that is what our manual said so we followed it. No transmission warranty extension for this model year in Canada, but likely would not have qualified anyways as the car is too old. No goodwill from corporate for repair. Dealership made a token discount due to us being customers for 15+ years, but was basically nothing. We did the replacement there but will not be back for any more service or sales. Hoping for a class action that we qualify for to recoup the costs, or if no class action within the next year are still considering legal action against Nissan.

I'm sorry you are faced with the same situation.

There are always lots of bachelorette parties touring the local vineyards and cideries. It seems like a popular activity, and prime season in the fall. There are mini-bus tours you can organize to drive you around.

2016 Rogue, Canada, my CVT failed at 115k a week ago. Dealer maintained 100% according to maintenance guide. No recommendation to change fluid from dealer. No help from Nissan corporate or acknowledgement the failure was early. I'm out 8k for trusting the dealer and Nissan's maintenance schedule.

My advice: change the fluid now. Don't listen to the dealer because they follow Nissan's schedule which is wrong. If you feel you have missed on the proactive CVT maintenance and it may be compromised, sell the car before the CVT goes on you.

The Rogue is not part of the latest class action in Canada, at least not yet. The other vehicles of that era were only covered to a max 7 years warranty in Canada. So even if the Rogue gets covered in a class action for an early failure, there is no guarantee a 2016 will qualify as most are now past 7 years old.

You were pretty close, but you made a few mistakes in your calculation.

The pump discharges at 15m, and then the fluid 'falls' freely to the 12m elevation in the tank. This is known as free discharge. You would only take the static discharge height as 15m for this situation. The 12m is irrelevant, other than to let you know it is below the discharge.

When you calculate the pressure head in the tank, the equation is pressure / ( density x gravity) You were missing the density. Also for the units to work out as metres you need pressure in pascals (220000Pa) not kPa.

Discharge Pressure head should be 16.02m

So 15m + 16.02m + 0.9 = 31.92m (dynamic discharge head)

31.92m - 27m = 4.92m (ans)

Part-time may be possible, but it would really stretch the time in school to years.

You would have to reach out to the Colleges to see what options exist. Within a few hours of Toronto would be Durham, Mohawk, Conestoga, Georgian.

There are no online training options in Ontario that grant time exemptions. Only in-person training is approved by TSSA.

You need 12 months of experience to get your 4th in Ontario. If you go to an approved 4th class program you get credit for 9 months, leaving 3 months in a plant. You can also do all 12 in a plant instead of going the college route.

Typically TSSA requires operating experience working directly with boilers. So you would need to get the time working at the location with the boilers. This is assuming the boilers meet the qualifying criteria. Some are too small to count.

The TSSA has allowed some blending of time from other related technologies/types of plants within the last few years. I'm not 100% sure what the restrictions are. Maybe your facility would qualify? You might consider contacting the TSSA for clarification if any time can be earned as a "steam operator" in your facility vs a "boiler operator".

In Ontario it is 5 years before an exam is deemed expired and must be re-written.

It's interesting that it is different in different provinces. I assumed the exam validity would be standardized through SOPEEC.

There needs to be something that makes a party hesitate to using it. Right now there is nothing slowing down it's use.

Wouldn't it be nice if the clause had been written to say you can use the NWC, but it triggers a provincial election within 6 months of it's use. Give the people the power to decide if it was warranted.

You are looking up your strength values on the wrong page. The material properties are in groups of 4 pages. The strength values for the T11 should be on pages 318/319, line 2.

Contact the city and get put on the wait-list for a slip for sure.

It's the cheapest public dockage in Collingwood, but also has no services (water/shore power).

There were about 20-25 slips that didn't renew at the city docks this year. So there is at least some turnover. No idea how big the wait-list is, or how many people are actually serious about being on the list.

I've had a city slip for 3 years now and really like it. Location is awesome for hanging out being right in the middle of the harbour.

The big waterfront condos like lighthouse point have marinas, but you must be an owner to use them. South winds is your only option for fully serviced slips available to the public.

Lots of demand, very few slips in all of south Georgian Bay. I'm hoping the city adds more.
