i agree completely, hense the title of my DIY.

the push button start is not the issue, it is the steering lock so even with a normal key the same will happen. i would be interested in someone making a steering lock bypass module like they did for the vetts.

yah, even if you have RevC chances are MUCH better for you vs RevA and RevB.

at one point RevC was Nissan's solution for fixing the GTR's...and ive not read about repeat issues, so keeping my fingers crossed.

So I looked at mine at lunch and it has a B

What does this mean, that they switched out my part for an old used one??

thats what im afraid of! damn!

bjblackout · 01-25-2012, 02:04 PM

Kenchan what would you do?? Can I prove in any way that they replaced it with a new one?? Since mine is a B is that proof enough or are there still ones with B being shipped??

Or do I just act like I know nothing and wait for it to fail again??

No, they should not be shipping B units anymore. They have been superseded by C, which was superseded by D. From my understanding, the B units are still susceptible to failure.

Is there a manufacture date on the sticker?

bjblackout · 01-25-2012, 02:29 PM

Good question, I didn't look that close.

does your invoice state the part that was replaced?

if not, i would go back to the dealer and ask to show you the steering lock they pulled out of the car. i guess that's one way to tell if they swapped it or not.

dont know the inventory levels at the nissan service warehouses so do not know how many RevB's are still out there.

if they did not swap it out it will probably fail again soon so just be on the look out i guess... use a sharpie or something to mark a dot or something on the corner somewhere. (this is sounding like a jiffylube investigation i saw on TV... lol

)

Thanks

Funny I just called my Nissan dealer parts dept and asked for the part # for the steering lock and they gave me 48700JF00D

Funny I just left dealership yesterday with a new steering lock and it has a B where the D is.

what does your invoice say? if it says 48700JF00D you can show them that they installed the wrong part.

sounds fishy to me

i have a feeling the car cure itself while it was towed... it's been known to happen. then strikes again soon after.

bj- if you did not get an invoice, talk to your service advisor for the work order number and tell him to print it up. it has to have history of wat parts were ordered and installed. paperwork dont just dissappear.
