But how did you present the issue to the dealer and get them to do the replace so easily?

I started out with explaining that the throttle lag had been an issue since day one - March, 2009. The service manager and I have previously had discussions over the years on the issue and how I was waiting for UpRev to crack the Varible Valve on these Z's. So he has been aware of my concerns for sometime. Last week I presented the fact that a member here tested it with some cardboard and masking tape and the car screamed with NO throttle lag and is on week three with no issues. I also threw out that the same issue is occuring on the Altima's. With my rapport with the service manager and he knows how I take care of the car, he took me on my word to try it.
It might not be as easy with a dealership/ service manager that you have not dealt with much. A little back graound with my dealership - purchased 2 each 350Z's and 2 each 370Z's since 2005 and have extended warranties on the 370Z's.
I also bring in bagels and cream cheese occasionally for the service writers and technicians in the shop.
