I'm thinking you driving must not be as good as you think it is. A bad engine or a bad trans before the avg user sees issues ok I'll get that, but both? Odds aren't very good for you.

If you don't get it through warranty (and if you were charged for your trans you should dig up your paperwork and warranty and go make a claim because that's bull, you had 7years 100k mi. But if they don't warranty the engine then find a good shop, only issue is today's engines don't use iron sleeved cylinders so if the cylinders are shot then that's going to be a bit difficult.

Yah, I'm with you. Something smells like rotten fish here. This is the reason new, young drivers are usually given a beater to learn on. I mean come on, it's a Nissan, not a Fiat. Lots of reliability history with the Z.

Lack of understanding, embarrassment etc. Has left me wondering about this story. I for one would be hard pressed to believe that there are many forum members that could actually swap an engine in a Z judging by the horrible mechanical work I've seen over the past 45 years. I think it might be time to sell off this car as is rather than patch it up and sell it to an unsuspecting buyer. The Z can be a difficult car to drive for those without the proper experience or knowledge. Maybe work out a deal to let it go because I don't feel that your luck will get much better with this car...sorry.
