You're correct that they dropped the ball with the revup engine. However, mistakes happen, and as long as it's covered by warranty, I have no problem with them fixing it and me enjoying the vehicle. You need to relax.
This was simply not a mistake my friend. Nissan tried to deny a problem that truly existed. Nissan did not come forth until three years later.
Nissan dragged their feet on this for as long as they could hoping warranties would be up.

Nissan was denying a problem that existed. Nissan lied to the American consumer that their engines were bullet proof. Dealerships would fill the oil up and tell the owner to come back after 1000 miles for an oil inspection.
When owners came back the dealerships would simply put more oil in and tell the customer that everything was good and that their engines weren't burning oil.

Thousands of engines were bad. Nissan = Filthy stinking liars.

Some people have had good luck. Good for them.
But Nissan kept producing engines that they new were not going to last.
Nissan Corp spit on the American consumer and treated us like consumable trash and laughed all the way to the bank.

This I will not forget or forgive. The problem still exists with the 370z and the G37.

This is not a coincidence.
