That sucks sorry man!

Mr.Squeeze · 05-09-2011, 01:34 AM

Hope all goes well for you man,from the picture it looks like oil everywhere. I think for some reason there was no oil ,and you shot a rod threw the block.

These kind of stories make me not want to mod. Anxiously waiting on the verdict.

FastPaced · 05-09-2011, 06:32 AM

That sucks bro. Keep us updated on how it went today.

OKC Z · 05-09-2011, 07:22 AM

Sorry to hear what happened to ur z bro.
I had something similar happen on my 09 altima. I had bunch of noise happened and then it just died. I towed it home and took off all bolt ons, stillen header, stillen pulley, intake, catback, tuner, and even the wheels. Then called the dealer monday cause it happened on a sunday. They towed it to the dealership. They gave me a hard time cause some bolts had been tampered. A nissan representative came from cali and took pics. The service rep told the nissan guy they had torqued the bolts and checked everything thats why they looked the way they did. Anyway took 6 weeks to get head and pistons replaced. They wouldnt give me a new engine cause it only had 4400 miles. I hated the idea, so I sold the piece of caca before it even made it out the service department.
Best of luck bro. Hope its something simple and turns out great.

Unless the dealer is a complete jerk, you should be OK as far as the bolt-ons go. Sometimes Nissan will get involved in engine replacements, and make things more difficult for the dealership. Just out of curiosity, I know you said you had to add a quart of oil.... How long had it been since you had checked it (or how long did it take to go through that quart)?

I don't know that it is an oil issue, but just curious. You can see a lot of oil in the pics (I would imagine several quarts), and I would also guess that you dumped a lot on the highway before you could pull over.

They can actually see how the car was driven up to the point of failure. This helps cover the dealers from people that beat cars and break something expecting that the warranty will pay for it.

I am pretty sure they can NOT see how it was driven... from what I understand there is no black box in this car...

Westwood · 05-10-2011, 04:13 PM

Aright the engine is DEAD and its not pretty... they said its an oil consumption issue. At lease i have them on my side

fingers are still crossed but having a nice conversation with the manager was reassuring a bit.

so what happened?

that looks awful

SPOHN · 05-10-2011, 04:20 PM

That's bad. What was the culprit? Bearing? Or do they have to get into it more? When was your last oil change? That's alot of oil to burn off to get to that point.

They have several things on their list but i guess they dont want to say much in case i spread it on the net like im doing right now lol but oil consumption was an issue for sure.
