He actually blew a piston rod in his SCed G35 and the Dealership voided is warranty without looking at the car, he's currently suing them because they had no proof.

Magnum Moss law basically says that they have to prove it, but if they prove it (which in most cases they can) you have to pay for the time they spent diagnosing the problem.

Regardless of the proof, i've never seen a Z blow a piston under NA, but we've all seen tons of people blow them with FI, so in this case i believe it's his loss.

When I purchased the car new, the dealer installed a Nismo cold air intake and Nismo cams. The engine went through an oil consumption replacement (short block replacement only) and I believe that the techs installing it were careless and caused the problem. The serpentine belt came off about 800 miles after the new motor, the throttle position sensor went out, the throw out bearing and clutch went bad around 6000mi, and the engine blew up less than an oil change after the replacement.

ohh man well you cant use this as a fault. from the work done by the dealer is why this happened. Im talking about a normal non touched engine so far that i've seen or heard of has not blown a rod to my knowledge.

Anyway, I think they should spend the time to see if the turbo actually did cause the rear seal to go. I don't see how the turbo could cause it to go unless an after market oil pump was put in or it was something that was always there and the turbo just made it more noticable.
I'm in for an outcome.

opps, wrong part...go me :thumbsup:
Rear tranny seal. yeah, I still don't see how a turbo can cause it to go. If it was a gear I could see it but more stress on the tranny wouldn't cause the seal to go....atleast in my head.

i'd rather spend my money on something im going to get money out of it (ie investments)
the post i made earlier had nothing to do with the thread topic. it had something to do with a half *** comment that was made.

Maybe not. I got one hell of a girl with a libido higher than mine.
You saying that facebook is helping you get some? I've always wondered about that site.
