Z Broke Down :(

JvKintheUSA · 08-09-2009, 09:11 PM

I am curious as well - subscribed to thread. Hopefully nothing serious!

Fusz- very strange on what happened to you. Hopefully it's not major mechanically. The sound you heard doesn't sound good though.

Brazilbro- that comment was pretty messed up. I get my Z sideways once in a while too. It's fun to have a little fun sometimes.

Yeah, I hope so too, but it was a wierd noise.

sounds like something that happened to me with a brand new eagle talon awd. timing belt skipped a few teeth after a few hundred miles. i drove it slowly to the dealer and right when i got to the entrance, the engine seized.

looks like I have someone to commiserate with! i've already replaced an engine on my car, solved repeated oil temp limp modes with dual-core oil coolers, and now am dealing with engine cut offs that result from fuel starvation... luckily for me, mine always starts back up after limp or fuel starv

lou, hope it is okay and look fwd to the diagnosis!

as for the other debate, not going to touch it other than to say if people want to drive aggressively on the street, not our job to police that... that's what police are for

Poor guy

i hope the car doctors fix her up soon

FuszNissan · 08-10-2009, 06:02 AM

Nothing a new engine and Twin Turbos can't fix...lol. It does suck though, love that car.

What time zone you in?

semtex · 08-10-2009, 03:49 PM

Well, threw a bunch of codes, haven't figured out why it won't start yet. Probably won't find anything out until tomorrow.
First codes was a crank sensor, we replaced it with a new one and it still won't start. They have been online and on the phone with Nissan all day, so I don't think we will know until tomorrow. I am afraid it may be the timing chain

Timing chain? I've thrown one of those before, caused air to pump *out* the intake.

Very easy test...

Also, Aren't these destructive engines?
