talked to them later they said it had random mult misfires and vvel code that was thrown... this is making my decision even easier red...
Reds car may be fitted with most of the shyt from my car before we know it, haha...

also I refunded your money for the fog light , Its still sitting in the Zs hatch, saw it today than forgot to take if off when I brought the car back... so ill pm you to see if you still want it, and if you do, you can just pay me after you recieve it... and itll be your chance to make me wait 2-3 weeks haha...

IF I do go the route of ditching the Z we can def do the meet up thing, VA is a decent drive but if you are willing to swap your stock wheels for the volks I will go half way or something... do the yankees play Baltimore or boston, away , any time soon ? lol

I forgot I had the nismo seats when I got in today, I had a wtf momment, I had the seats in for 1 day before the car went in, it was pretty funny...

If the car isnt back tomorrow, I am calling Nissan USA and trying to swinagle a payment out of them or something.. as my car has now been in the shop for 7 weeks in the last year.

damn... that sucks. i hope this all works out, chuck!

chuckd05 · 04-07-2011, 12:45 AM

thanks dude, this car is driving me crazy lately...

Red__Zed · 04-07-2011, 12:57 AM

No worries on the fog light man. Just give me a holler whenever you have it back. I guess if I'm driving up, there may not be much point in shipping it anyways

I hope they figure out whatever is going on. I can't imagine how much of a PITA it has been without the car....I think I might go check my oil levels right now.

chuckd05 · 04-07-2011, 01:26 AM

please do... and report back!

docaam · 04-07-2011, 04:09 AM

very sad to read all about the issues, hopefully it will work out for you

Got the car back today. Everything seems perfect.

Big thanks to Smithtown Nissan as they were very cooperative and supplied the loaners and warrantied my car With Zero resistance.

They had to reset something with VVEL. The hold up was with another car before my car. When it got in it was a 2-3 day job With the hiccup. They had drove it 2.5 miles before they gave it back and it was all good , I
Can say I am happy and realized how much I missed driving her and just looking at her. Haha

For now, she's not going anywhere. Too much into the car to give up right now!

Red__Zed · 04-07-2011, 04:04 PM

Glad you got it back and are happy with it, even though I wanted those rims

Picked up sport brakes today from toxik. Big thanks to him for a great deal.

On the other hand the cars been back at Nissan. It misfired again, they pulled the tune off and in 75 more miles it hasn't duplicated the problem. Very confusing to everyone, techs, me, performance place, etc...

So tunes going back on and they're gonna test drive it some more. The service advisor has been awesome and we've built a good relationship, they are doing everything to get it right. He takes it home at night with a scan tool just in case. I have a maxima loaner and they're taking as much time as they need to know it's fixed when I get it back...

Couldn't really ask for anything else with the situation at hand. I'm glad performance motorsports and the dealer work together. Its been a big help and everything's been covered.

I need some better luck though.
