Rev light stall on AT

Amj2020 · 05-26-2015, 02:04 PM

You can go on Amazon and buy a OBD scanner like this one
http://www.amazon.com/Autel-MaxiScan...s=odb2+scanner
It will plug in under the steering wheel and spit random codes out on a screen indicating there is a problem in the car or not. A good cheap tool to have anyway. You will have to look the codes up (if any appear) once you get them from the scanner.
Useful, but more so for other cars and not my Z.

Thanks for explaining that, yeah I think I'll just let a specialist figure it out then try to recreate the problem.

Just an update this morning I took the car to a Nissan dealership so the specialist can look at it, I noticed this time specifically that around 60 mph when I went WOT the rev light went on and it stalled around 6K rpm. I'll update when I get word from the specialist, might take a little while they told me. Weird thing is I was told it would try to be recreated outside but I told them it's illegal so they said yeah maybe they will try to recreate the issue on a lift. However that was just a desk rep telling me that, who know what the specialist will actually do.

This is the part where they joy ride your car for a few miles. Good luck at the dealership, when they are done jerking you around, call real auto dynamics:P

they will joy ride it for a few miles or so. did you check your mileage and take note?

also this would definitely be a great time to see the codes to know if the dealership is a stealership or infact the rare breed of honest service.

Well I would go to RAD but I'm using my warranty since it's free, and yes I took note of the mileage

I usually try to make it really obvious to the dealer that I'm anal about the car. I take the photo of the mileage right in front of the service advisor and make sure they know there is no unauthorized mileage to be put on the vehicle. I tell them to call me if there is any need to drive the car - I know people that have even gone so far as to record this conversation using video record on their phone (TX is one party consent state - check your local laws).

Sadly free hardly ever means good or quality. Most techs at the dealers hardly ever see a Z or GTR. You get what you pay for!

True, but if I need repairs or a huge replacement RAD wouldn't pay for that, NISSAN however is liable to replace any parts. Even if I brought it to RAD first, the most they can do is diagnose it, if I needed a new transmission why would I go out pocket for that, it's NISSAN responsibility.

Probably easier to find ice in the desert, than to find a dealer who wants to pay for a transmission replacement:P

I know people are often against this, but if you do your homework you can find decent non-Nissan warranties. I got one through my credit union very competitively priced up to 100K miles bumper to bumper with zero deductible. I will be getting a new transmission here soon (5th and 6th gear synchros are going out) at no cost to me and having Kevin at Austin Z Clinic do the work. Bonus: his shop is literally in my neighborhood.

Even stuff normally covered at all under warranties are covered with a $500 deductible. In hindsight, I probably should have used this to have Kevin do my CSC/CMC last year. But I saved $100 by purchasing Z1's kit and installing it myself (with help).

Either way you been there all day, whats the story!

JARblue · 05-28-2015, 03:30 PM

It's through Mercury Insurance, but the credit unions broker a deal where they offer it paired with their financing services for much cheaper than you typically get as a direct consumer rate. I think we paid ~$1000 for it. 10yr/100K mile. Zero deductible bumper to bumper. The only things that have deductibles are things that normally aren't even covered by insurance. I have every possible coverage you can imagine, including tires, bulbs, glass cracks, etc. They told me $500 for CSC claim (decent considering dealers charge upwards of $1500). I think a $50 deductible will cover up to two new tires if they get unrepairable damage (like nail in the sidewall). When I read the policy, I was quite surprised at both the coverage and the pricing.

I'm glad that I have the policy even though I've never used it. The transmission alone will make it worth the cost.

OK apparently it's normal, the issue was that if I'm cruising certain speeds the ECU feels a sudden change of acceleration and downshifts (as for quicker passing), they told me in automatic mode if in mid gears I decide to hit the throttle all the way I should pay attention to the rev meter and if it goes all the way up to ease up on the pedal then depress all the way once it up shifts again.
