The car was actually driving fine but kept throwing the code. I did what I could (new o2s, mafs, bg44k, cleaned intake) but it kept coming back. Eventually it got worse and the car would become hard to start. So I took it in and they said it jumped time. My car has 74k on it.

I bought my car from Carmax with MaxCare extended warranty. I just had to provide maintenance records since I do my own and they covered it no problem. Total invoice from Brown's was $5k. I agree they do great work too. and Mike is awesome. I paid $1700 for the warranty by the way.

I don't think it's a problem. I couldn't find a single instance of a 370z jumping time online I just think I got lucky, possibly having something to do with the extreme cold.
Thanks for the details. All of the service guys there that I have worked with are good guys. Glad your car is fixed and back on the road. Mine is there today getting an alignment, so I should be back in it this afternoon.
