Wait... are you pulling our leg, you actually traded in the Z for the Maxima?!

Joke dude, did they ever advise what caused your engine to blow up? Keep us in formed. Also, look on the brighter side, at least the dealer is cautious to ensure you get a mint engine, they could have ignored everything and just slapped that one in.

Hope you get it back and running soon! My car has been down a few times the past few months. First it was the accident. Then I had to put it down again after the repairs to ship out the headlights. One of the headlights arrived broken internally, but I needed it for a quick photoshoot. So it's down again until one of the headlights get repaired. Nothing as bad as the engine, but still down nonetheless. :-/

Then it'll be down again once I get all the stuff needed to ship the car to Houston for some upgrades.

Hope all goes well and maybe this one will not burn oil...

Westwood - which dealer was it.
I had a major warranty issue with TG Infiniti. It was a US car and was under full warranty, something happened while programming for a new key fob in their garage. They didn't admit it first that it was their fault but ended up getting a few new computer modules, and of course covered under warranty. But it took them about month and a half to get those modules from US since it was from there, different ecu's.

Anyways, always keep a steady front, consult with a lawyer and stay off the $20 hookers. maybe it was crabs running around the car that caused this. j/k

Just got my rental today. Took a week and a half to get approval from Nissan. I'm getting a new long block, hope it gets fixed soon.
