Nissan service guy informs me (after some warranty work) that my resonator on the driver's side intake is "broken off" and it's "sucking air right through that hole". Well, sh1t, I have had smooth intake tubes installed on the car for 2 years - and it doesn't have a resonator at all - idiot.

Are you talking about the PCV breather hose? That should be hooked up even if you have post-maf tubes installed, correct?

edub370

Yes, it's all hooked up correctly. The post MAF tubes don't have the small resonator box hanging off the bottom of the driver's side intake.

Just got off the phone with service at Town North Nissan. The extra nice lady answering the phones needs to brush up on the Nissan line up

Me: Can I please speak with a Service Advisor or Tech regarding a recall on my 370Z.
Her: Is that 370V as in Victor?
Me: No. It's Zulu. You know, one of the car models you guys offer...
Her: I'm sorry, sir. I am still learning all of the models.
Me: ...

this was not stupid but surprising to me :-)

When I bought my 370z nismo, the salesman told me that it would be costly to maintain that car. I asked him how costly? He told me, the oil change could run $80.
My previous car was a Mercedes and every visit to the dealer would cost at least $200.

No doubt about it... as I said, she was very nice, and I really did not intend to be as mean as I'm sure I came across. I just find it funny/odd that the person coordinating between the customer and the service staff doesn't know their model line up.

When I was test driving Z's, I test drove a BC 2011 7AT at Pat Fischer Nissan in Titusville. They sat me down and I told them that I wouldn't pay more than $400/month and I wouldn't pay more than $20k for the car (I had trade ins). He comes back with the paper work, $645 monthly payment and $27k WITH my trade ins. I laughed and said send it back. He comes back with $550. Send it back. $490. Send it back. Finally the manager comes in and says ok I worked the numbers over just for you and got to $410, that's the best I can do. I smiled, said goodbye and got up to leave. He asks me why I'm passing up such a good deal. I told him that I didn't even like the car a whole bunch because it was automatic and I wanted manual. He said no this one IS manual, it's got the paddle shifters. I said I don't want paddle shifters, I wanted a MANUAL. He said that the paddle shifters was nissans new manual, and they didn't offer a physical stick anymore. He said that their version of automatic didn't have the paddle shifters anymore. I grabbed my keys off the sales guy's desk and told the manager that he had lost the sale because of his complete incompetence. He literally threw a business card in my face and said to call if I changed my mind. While he stormed out I overheard him say to another salesman "That fuckin faggot is whining and bitchin about a stick, (mumble mumble)".

The next day I called the owner of the dealership and told him what happened and he was appalled, told me he would deal with it. I just so happened that my next door neighbor had traded in a vehicle there and so I went with him to pick up his new truck. As I got out of the car out came the manager from before, carrying a box with all his stuff in it. I smiled and waved at him and told him good luck at his next job hahaha

stopped by buena park nissan on my way home from work to pick up some bolts.

i pull up in my pw z and the first sales guy i see rushes over to say:

"That's a great lookin' GTR you got there...I didn't know they came in metallic blue.."

i wasn't sure if he was joking. so with a blank stare, i got back in my car and left.

WTF? If there is no hole on the aftermarket Ntake tubes (which I assume) then WTF was this service beeotch talking about I dump my "valve cover breather hose to Ntake" to atmosphere w/K&N crankcase breathers.

Had a dealer tell me that I should get a 7AT instead because "it would be way more fun to drive since I wouldn't have to shift all the time"....
