So I picked up a brand new 2013 sports package 370z last Aug. As of yesterday, it has 6,800 miles on it. Service/ maintenance has been kept on point, and up until yesterday, I hadn't noticed anything wrong. Driving home from work I heard a slight rotational vibration, and then one exit away from my house, the car was lugging out of 2nd gear every time I took it past 2 grand.

I took it to the dealership, where they calmly notified me that: I need a new engine, Its bone dry of oil, they can't find a leak, and that Monday Nissan is sending engine techs to do a full diagnostic run on my baby.

I read here that a small amount of 09-10 Zs suffered from what I ascertained to be a similar issue.

Anyone else hear of this happening? I know earlier 370s had cooling issues, but my '13 needing a new engine at 6,800? bummer.
