Give them a chance to make it right.

i'm pretty sure if the car is THAT new and there is a problem that big you should be able to just return it and cancel the deal.

In Oklahoma you have 72 hours - then it's a done deal.

6 trips and they still couldn't figure out to take the spacers off is incompetence by defenition I had my tranny replaced around 8000, and although they didn't manage to put the rubber boot under the shifter on correctly and it got tore off everything else fine after. I switched dealerships after the tranny issue and haven't had as many problems with my new one it's all about they're attitude they all get trained the same some techs/shops just care more than others.

:iagree:

Very true........

This kind of crap drives me nuts!! I went in the other day to get the new rear hatch springs for my Nismo, I have to schedule an appointment, take the car in and have someone "install" them...stupid. I don't trust a valet driver to park my car, there are way to many poeple out there not getting paid enough to even give a ****.

:iagree:

I wish your NISMO a speedy recovery so you can enjoy your purchase. :)

Sorry for the ignorance...what sre these "spacers"?

It's ok!

When cars are shipped to keep them from wearing on the springs/shocks while waiting to be brought. Rubber spring spacers that keep the spring expanded are install. So if you purchase a Nismo these spacers aren't known to ever dealer seeing it's just a Z. They are forgotten in the car. So if you see a stock Nismo looking a little 4x4 that's maybe why.

Op you could of checked that yourself.

If the car shifts into each gear fine but a grinding noise is heard.

It may be the fluid, I don't think that's the problem

Or

Your driving isn't yet adapted to the Z's clutch, an it's shift points.

I recommend following the "find other stealership" advice quickly!

actually the springs are only on the nismo and it is to raise the car up in front so the lip will clear the transport ramps. and they make the car ride stiff in the front. gys have gone a whole year before having them removed before

So this is only on the Nismo model? I remember the S2000 had this issue big time with dumb dealers.

:tup: good info

this is what a stealership told me. He then said "do you see these things getting sold".


OP any updates!

OP: you must have rode her hard and pit her up wet! ;)

If you take it to another dealer then you run the risk of the original dealer pointing the finger at the second dealer. IMHO, when dealing with a major acquisition, I like to have a "one a$$ to kick". Resolving through the original dealer forces them to be that one a$$ kick.

Be firm: ask them when they will resolve the problem \ what they will do if they do not resolve it by the deadline and then hold them to it.

Squeaky wheel get the grease.

Mine was replaced at 8k it seems very odd at 160
