yah, if that thing broke on my car i suppose i might let the dealer do it too since it lasted 5yrs already, a new oem one would last me the rest of the 4yrs 11months im planning on keeping the car. hahaha
Yup lol

I got almost 60K miles out of the thing, so that should be ~5 years for most people. Or ~3.5 years for me. Or 15+ years for Kenchan

lol i hope to keep this car forever and ever and ever and ever... and then if it's true the next engine is being jointed with MB (i will believe once offical or on the nissan site OR mb site) then i will definitely be finding a shop that can rebuild engines... =( it makes me sad thinking about that.

but in all seriousness i'd like to keep this car as long as possible!

one of the reasons why i bought a nissan was for the vq engine... it'd make no sense for me to buy a nissan with some benz engine which sounds like shittt imho when you add aftermarket exhaust... and reliabilty is questionable.

most benz and porsch sound like crap with aftermarket exhaust in my area...

BANG ON!11!11!ONEe1!1ONEONEe1!111!!!! I go this engine because of relabilty and VERY high rev for such a large block.

Uhh... porche with aftermarket exhaust? Really? LOL uhh... Same with a benz? LOL like would you really want to change the exhaust of your c63? sigh

Each to their own I guess... and that's why we get the VQ so we can adjust this plastic mould to our own fit. Minus the fact the stupid 2015 nismo front fascia is way too expensive /end complaints

yah, i dont know where the vq is 'harsh'... same with my G... her vq spins up to redline smoothly and effortlessly.

maybe the kid's just scared of reving the engine. especially when the kid says his 1-2 shift is rough, he lacks MT driving experience. we're not shy to hit the rev limiter from time to time. hell, i hit the rev limiter often in my dd.
