The car is being tow right now and should arrive at the dealership in the next hour or so if everything went well ...
Hoping to have some news by the end of the day ! *Cross finger*

Update from the dealership ,

The flywheel is cracked badly apparently and ofcourse the front seal on the transmission is leaking which I already knew
Im surprise the flywheel is crack !

I talked with the mechanic who worked on the car and told me the part was backorder

when that is done they will proceed with a roadtest

I tried to go a bit deeper into the problem , like talking about the X amount of fluid missing that could have made some damage and would maybe appear in the future.
I was told that they cant really just open it if they know for sure there is a bigger problem than the seal ,,,
and if nothing is wrong I would have to pay for it ?!?! that why did arent doing it right now if during the road test , the hear or see a problem then the next step of the inspection would probably be to look inside the transmission.

so Im waiting a few days to know what would be the possible date for the backorder ETA...

I was also told that if in case something happen , like the transmission fail in 5-10k kms ,
I still have the Power Train warranty 5yrs or 100 000kms

I thought my basic warranty stoped right at 3yrs or 60 000kms (Canada)

I was about to say.. CA gets ripped, US powertrain is 60k MILES. 100k makes more sense in kilos. Good luck, that's pretty shabby that it cracked with just bolt ons.. maybe it was out of balance.

I just hope so !
because Ive been dealing with Ign timing problem since last november,,,

As soon as I get the car , I will do some datalog to see if anything changed !
knock sensor were detecting to much noise.

Jamaica · 09-14-2011, 09:16 PM

wow thats crazy. Finally got mine back today.

indyn · 09-15-2011, 02:38 PM

what mods did you do prior to November. Looks like you've done all the mods yourself.

Flywheel pulley?? Isn't that related to flywheel

Guard Dad · 09-18-2011, 08:47 PM

Cracked flywheel, wow! I'm glad to hear that they didn't blame the flywheel damage on your lightweight crank pulley. Since the after market pulley doesn't include a harmonic vibration damper like the OEM pulley I would expect them to say that undamped crankshaft vibrations caused the flywheel to fracture.

Megan370z · 09-20-2011, 11:48 AM

Update !

The mecanic at the dealership called me earlier and told me they went for a test drive after replacing the cracked flywheel and the seal .

THey are now ordering a brand new transmission which is also Back Order.

Jamaica · 09-20-2011, 12:14 PM

Thats good news. New transmission.

superchargedg · 09-21-2011, 05:49 PM

Great news but the wait is gonna suck

Update !!!!

I got back from an military exercise in Wainwright (Alberta , Canada) a week ago!
So on last Saturday I went to the dealership to get the Z back !

the complete repair list was principally the flywheel which was badly cracked and the blown transmission.

The service guy called my at home while I was away on exercise and told my GF to take it easy on the new tranny for at least till next year !! and told her no more track time for this year !

2 days ago I went for a ride after about 800kms done on it and decided to datalog to see if by miracle my IGN Timing problem would be changed.

The first pull on the 4th gear up to redline , I saw the timing going where it was suppose to be around 29+- 1
I was surprised and decided to do one on the 5th gear up to 7300rpm
still the same thing !! I hit 29 which was perfect !
and then yesterday I decided to do it again just to make sure of the result that I had the previous day!

I'm very pleased that the knock sensor are now happy ! it was probably due to the cracked flywheel making too much noise which I couldn't hear or see the difference with the headphone knock listening device (Uprev)

0-100mph is now .5sec faster

before sending the Z to the dealership I removed all of intake system & removed Uprev incase they wouldn't like to see the car fully modded !
so I'm even more surprised !

today I'm going to datalog with my custom CAI and restart the tune (Uprev tuner)
