What a hassle to deal with!

I'm also amazed that Nissan covered the OP's car at all. The car looks like it is raced and that generally voids the warantee. At least in my case with the 350Z it did.

Talked to the dealership today and they said they would give me a loaner which I am happy for but if they said no we were going to have a big problem anyway.

Service advisor stated that she could not give me a date when part would be in. Said it could be two weeks or up to two months. I have never heard of anything like this ever in my life!!!

I picked up my jerry-rigged Z and brought it home Saturday. It is going to sit and wait in my garage until the part comes in which will be God only knows (and he is guessing).

The tech plugged in a module from an Altima and zip tied it up out of the way. It is driveable, but it has the key error light on. I am not driving it though because it makes me crazy having any kind of warning light on (except the flashing traction or VDC Off lights).

I have it home in my garage and still have the free loaner Versa.

It's so strange yours is a rev c and failed, I thought the problem was supposed to be fixed? If the Rev C's and D's are faulty Nissan is going to have a very expensive problem on their hands

i think it's an isolated case of yet another failure type... but we wont know for sure until the dealer send that unit back to nissan. i haven't read any other RevC failure so it could have just been that one particular unit.

i doubt nissan will disclose the details to the public (aka GTR owners) either.

In case anyone's interested, pretty much all 40ths were built between December and February:

+-------+-------------+-----------------+-----+
| Prod | VIN | Range | Num |
+-------+-------------+-----------------+-----+
| 12/09 | JN1AZ4EH_AM | 501627 - 501817 | 184 |
| 01/10 | JN1AZ4EH_AM | 501819 - 502520 | 622 |
| 02/10 | JN1AZ4EH_AM | 502522 - 502758 | 194 |
+-------+-------------+-----------------+-----+

There were a few built outside that range, but these are the 1000 for North America (US).

(sorry to thread-jack)

Sorry to say, it looks like Feb 2010, is still within failure range.
