Um, no, I am pretty sure they don't. Not much with the number stuff, either.

Is it cool to spell california with a K or did you spell that wrong? If you are going to post something make sure it is related to the subject.

I never use spell check, I just know how to spell.

Are you sure California isn't spelled with a K? I have only lived here all of my life and I'm pretty sure that California is spelled with a K. Hard to get something by you.

Oh, one more thing, don't tell me what to post, you just focus on appearing to be intelligent, it is going to take all of your energy.

I got screwed by Ford. My F-150 was leaking brake fluid from the clutch system. I went in and they told me they would put dye in and to check to see where the problem was later. Well I ran out of warranty during that time. When I went back they told me they had no record of any clutch problems. The service write up from when I went said "brake fluid is low". They checked it and it was fine so nothing was done then.

So my problem kept happening and Ford told me too bad because the dealership didn't have record of it and I was out of warranty.

DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT!!!!

I think what dealerships and most other places today come down to is just being lazy. They try to avoid anything that would require any effort.

Im on these forums to learn and to share info on the z and sometimes subects that may have nothing to do with a car. If I felt the urge to want to be a bi*** I would do it else where. So if you post anything else make sure it is related.

Well the car went to forged performance. IT took them less then an hour to find the problem. It took pat pec nissan, well..lol, they couldnt find the problem. They were the ones that put the car together.
It turned out that nissan had installed the flywheen wrong if you could even call it install.
The car is running and forged is going to break it in and get a tune on it, so it's time to start saving for fi. Awsome job to Sharif. Thaks so much. I can't wait to complete the car.

The Stillen FW or the JWT FW? The JWT, there's no excuse; while it is possible to install in the wrong position, the directions that come with it clearly mark the correct orientation to use it in the Z.

Sorry im venting a little towards the end so dont read this entire post if you dont want to. LOL

My advise to all is to 1. Screw your current service department of your dealership and never go back. 2. Find a new dealership preferably a smaller one that doesnt really care. 3. Make very very good friends with the service manager (VERY IMPORANT). Go in for an oil change or something talk to him, ask him some questions or maybe complement him on how well the service department is run.

Once your good with him, you can start asking general questions like what his stance is on things like idk nitrous and see how he responds.

The guy i met at my service department kinda pulled me aside after i asked him how nitrous would effect my warranty and said i have to play by the rules but if i dont see it, i cant do anything about it. He went on to tell me he did that kind of stuff to mustangs when he was growing up and he isnt going to be searching my car for that kind of stuff and doesnt really care what i do as long as he doesnt have to break any rules to help me out.

Im in heaven compared to my old service department who threatened me with a "you need to call your insurace company" when i brought my car in 3 days after i bought it new for a bent crumple zone in the rear end (still have no idea how it happend but it ended up coming out of my pocket). Also got an argument after one of the service technicians told me i couldnt shift from third to 6th (grinding transmission).

NEVER GO TO KEY NISSAN

the only performance nissan part that the dealer will pass is nismo, which is a waste of money.

Wow, I worked at a stealership for 4 years as a service writer, when anyone came in with issues like that and were out of warranty by a couple hundred miles I just made a typo on the mileage... warranty never questioned it, the work got done, everyone was happy.

I don't understand why some dealerships don't see that if you try to help your customer save some money that they will (most likely) become a regular customer, and the money you make off them on regular maintenance will easily be more than that one big bill they have to pay.
