It is apparent that you have never worked on cars yourself. As a Nissan Master Tech 50% of the cars I touch have complaints that I can not replicate. Now I can't verify your dealer is reputable or even has reputable techs working for them. The glorious thing about owning a Z is that we have 1000s of dealers across the world. It's not like you have one option as if you owned a Veyron.

So lets get down to the issues at hand. First, did you take into account the car did not make those noises when the tech test drove it? I've had cars I've driven 50+ miles trying to replicate an issue, it never happens, and the moment I pull it out of my bay it does it. Or my SM drives it around the building and it happens. So before you make accusations make sure you have all the facts.

Second, you are no the original owner, which means if you did not buy it from your dealer they made no money, and Nissan definitely made no money unless you financed it through NNA. So no the dealer will not bend over backwards for you. No you don't "deserve" and Z as a rental while they work on your car.

Third, "design flaw".... Look at nearly every newer car with frameless door windows and they do this. It's designed to drop the windows from the seal to open and to raise it back into the seal when it closes. When the window motor loses it's positional memory then it needs to be retaught. We have some of the easiest windows to reset in the industry. FYI if you double tap and and hold your unlock button on your key fob it'll roll the windows down for you before you get to the car.

Now I am honestly sorry you had a bad experience with your dealer. However, the anger, hostility, and belittling will not get you any favors or help.

So here's my suggestion. Be happy your dealer replaced the transmission. Now expect noise from it, the 6mt does not have end play bearing tolerances, so they make a good bit of noise. The dog houses "keys in the syncro coupler" can be sticky when cold so your shifts during warm up on a cold day can be difficult.

I hope your next experience is much better, I'd suggest a new dealer with a fresh start. Now go find a nice twisty road and break in that new transmission. Have a good evening.
