Thanks for the warm welcome my fellow Z enthusiasts!
The car is currently at the Nissan Dealership as it has the infamous "5th gear grinding", luckily it's still under warranty. Technicians were able to replicate and are gladly replacing the transmission free of charge without a fight
I hope the new tranny has been revised to eliminate this error, but more than likely it will be a refurbished one with same parts :/ . Oh well. Glad they take good care of their customers
(my 300zx had the same issue when i had it, but that darn thing had many miles put in to her).
