Its supposed to be 65 Wed and 67 Thurs here in Jersey

Im seriously contemplating putting my Z back on the road to enjoy those days. I gotta do it soon anyway cause I wanna get it into the dealer to ATTEMPT to get a new trans outta them. 5th gear grinds. I know Im gonna get one of two responses from Nissan. Either its gonna be "sorry sir we cant seem to replicate the problem you are having/ there isnt a problem" OR its gonna be "sorry sir your warranty is null and void due to all of your aftermarket parts". At which point the arguing will insue. Im also anxious to get all the parts I have sitting here on the car so the sooner its on the road the sooner I can get it over to my buddies place to do some wrenching

Hey onzedge did you get your KONI'S in yet??????????????????????????

Just the fact that they like to bust the balls of anyone with mods. Im hoping they dont fight me on that. I know when I brought up mods to the service people and how it would effect my warranty they basically told me I better not do anything to the car.

Yeah they will try to blame everything on you. I know the story "sir maybe it's how you drive the car"

They cant void your warranty unless the mods you have directly correlate to your transmission specifically. Do you have an aftermarket short shifter or anything like that? If you've changed your shift knob I'd put it back to OEM so they don't try to hassle you.

based on his sig, I would put back the oem one...they will say the extra weight of the aftermarket knob messed up your trans.

I set the clock and connected the garage door to my garage door opener. I know there are small things but I've only had the car for 4 days

Nick911sc · 03-05-2012, 06:09 PM

Any progress is good progress!

Cool. Now get yourself some dental floss and rubbing alcohol to remove the dealer's badge. That makes me crazy when they do that.

Yes, Im well aware that the mods have to be the source of the problem, which thankfully they arent. Im a step ahead of you guys, I already planned on putting the stock knob back on. I have wanted a short shifter for sometime but have held off just so they cant blame that.
