Well that sucks. I thought the stock STI trans was... OK. Mine had about everything Group N/Kartboy/Turn In Concepts you could get as far as driveline stiffening on it and I still didn't think it was that great. I didn't think it could hold a candle to my S2000, but that is no surprise, not many things can compare to that trans.

But it's not like my HR Z felt like a hunk of crap compared to the S2K (other than the clanking) and the 370Z feels better than the HRZ, so, like I said, I think your transmission has a problem.

And whats with the crazy bogging <snip>
I don't have that problem, either, thankfully.

I guess I'm just rubbing it in...

Nah, I just know these problems don't happen with every Nissan, and complaining about it on forums isn't going to do anything. Complaining to dealers and complaining to NIssan is what would solve the problem. Loss of power is a serious issue. If you can reproduce it regularly, take it for service. If they can't fix it, LEMON LAW THE DAMN THING. Nissan will take notice when it starts costing them money...
