They're not going to mail it to you for a self-install. The dealer is going to install it after nissan ships it to them. Use some common sense man!

You work for Nissan and you know the tech yet you don't know what to do to the motor?

Then why take on aftermarket mods that you have no idea what effect they will have, especially on a new engine.

So this dealer will allow him to do aftermarket mods (non-Nissan parts) as part of warranty service?

Then why would you trust him to modify yours?


Please just read the important threads (recommended reading here... CLICK HERE), do your research and make some decisions on where YOU want to go with the car. Don't ask stranger who have no vested interest in your car.

I LOL'd at you wanting to install aftermarket parts (but having no idea which parts) while getting a motor replaced under WARRANTY.

Cake. This thread takes it.

Here's a few things that you can do when your new motor arrives at the dealership.

1. Be happy your getting a new FREE motor.

2. That is all.
