this time its the service depot. i blew a piston and took it in. turn around was a week and it was covered under warranty. invoice was over 8 grand. These guys are the best....service, sales, and parts!

 

invoice was 8 g's ?!

 

+1

 

is that the nissan off the 405 and like avalon??? damn, nissan has the shi****** service of any company out there........side note- my mom has a saturn VUE, 16K dollar car when brand new, its an 03, and she blew up her motor by putting water where her oil goes, and saturn knew that she did that, they gave her a rental car for free, and dropped a BRAND NEW motor in it, for FREE!!!!!! and turn around was 4 days, thats awesome, we have 35-40K dollar sports cars, and we cant get an oil chang comped, i hate nissan service, ive had 3 distinct problems with 3 different places here in so cal, ive even taken it to corporate here in gardena, im sick of them!!!!! but love the car

 

LOL!

 

We are on the 605 and 210...

Performance NISSAN
1434 Buena Vista St
Duarte CA 91010...

We are the service department for most of the LA area Z owners on this forum...

It sounds like you are going to the wrong dealer... See you soon!

And as far as the OP...

I am unfamilar with this case, but I think the amount that was warrantied is what was mentioned...

 

sorry for the confusion. yea that was the amount warrantied. i woulda been in a large pickle had it not been covered

 

Glad you were happy with our dealerships service!

 

hey gimp....how did you blow a piston? reving to high?

 

see yall at the meet(s) tomarrow

nope. i was in korea for a month. car was garaged. thats the only thing out of the norm that I could think of

 

Ahhh where is my Korean Energy drinks ?

 

so you can blow a piston if your car sits too long? that's crazy, mine is garaged too and i don't drive it til the weekend, that's the only reason i'm a lil concerned.

 

Plenty of people in New England store cars all winter so I'd be surprised if it blew just from sitting there. Whatever the reason, good thing it was free!

 

That doesnt make any sense. Blowing the motor like that!

 

I would like to add my .2 to this thread.

Performance Nissan took fantastic care of me on Tuesday. Had the gas filler recall addressed and what had me stressed was some clicking in the rear end. Fixed- no questions asked.

Thanks to Jason here in the board.

Thanks to Javier in service.

:Cheers:

 

What was the clicking in the rear end about? I getthat sometimes too when I reverse

 

Prob. lack of grease from the factory on the axle. Check out this link.

Then again, "blow a piston" doesn't mean anything (except maybe in an automotive brothel.......)

If you sent a chunk of piston into the head, the parts bill alone would be mid-4 figures. Did you blow a hole in it? Crack it? Break a ring land? "Throw" it (broken pin boss, wristpin or small end on rod)? What actually happened?

 

Sounds like I need to visit performance Nissan. I live in the SFV and I have not heard of any good dealers near here.

 

this is wrong i had my Z parked for about 2 months of winter.
when i took it out i drove straight to NJ. no problems!!!!!!!!!!!

i think you had another issue maybe factory defect.

let me know
