West Covina should take care of you. They're an excellent dealership with a great track record on this site.

 

A year or more ago, it was only $4000 offered with condition never to lemon it, now $6K huh...

Good to know and thanx for offering to help others with the Buy Back experience.

All the best to you too and happy motoring as well in your I35.

 

Yes, They do. I was just glad that Tim took care of me. I will keep you guys posted. I am printing all of the post in this thread and other similar threads in the forum so that I that I can closely review them so that I can be very well informed regarding oc and the test procedures and options.

George from Pasadena,

 

I should have clarifed that the $6K included the $1750 NNA would have had to pay the lawyer. So, it would have been a little over $4K back to me. For those who have not read this thread from the beginning you would find that NNA has a script they follow for buyback. What you ultimately get back from them depends on how hard you want to push and how willing you are to give up such a nice car.

I owe my total buyback knowledge to this thread so the least I can do is assist anyone else who may have just gotten fed up.

 

im at the nissan dealership right now. i just changed my oil 2 days ago and put ~190 miles on it. they said that if they do the oil consumption test and they have to change the oil, they only cover regular dino oil. however i have switched to synthetic. should i pay the difference for the synthetic oil if they change it or is it ok to have them put regular oil in it?

 

No harm done, is ok to switch.

 

thanks i just told the service manager.

 

TSB doesn't state must be Dino used in testing and can't use Synth, but no matter.
If your burning, both will burn about the same rate anyway.

 

Wow, long thread. I just got my 35th 3 months ago with 19k miles. Had the oil changed at jiffy at 23k with synthetic. Checked again at 26k (iirc), and was about a full quart low, much to my surprise! The oil was still a very light amber though, so thats cool.
I have a friend that is a service writer at the local Nissan dealer where I bought the car, talked to him today. Taking the car in next week for the OC test.

Purchased my 06 used with 18.5k miles last August. Had dealer change oil at 20,421 in October. Mileage is now at 22,847 with oil showing at the 17mm mark. I am heading to West Covina Nissan to do the test tomorrow. Now my question is, I bought the car used private party, but had the warranty transfered in my name, will the car be covered for the engine replacement even though I am not the original owner?

 

The manufacturer's warranty follows the car, not the owner.

 

Update: I dropped the car off at the dealership yesterday. It's going to have the new engine put in and should be be ready in a few days. I hope it works out, I can't imagine getting rid of this car. I love everything about it and got it for a really good price too. I would hate to see it go, and feel bad for the owner after me

 

I love mine too, but I am very tired of all this......... thinking hard about trading it in on a 2009. I just don't have the time right now to get an attorney and fight NNA. I guess that is what they want to happen, the way they treat us on this issue.

^ John, I feel for you, I did just that this last weekend and taking delivery tomorrow of a 370Z.

The good thing about it for the new owner is that the 100K extended warranty that NNA gave us on the new engine is transferable to the new owner....win win for her. Plus the UOA's have been stellar.....it was a winner.

Ya hear that Blake...it is a WINNER.


Cheers

How many SN's did he have on here...oh the memories

Currently mine looking real close to being the same....just turned 9Kmi on my V2.
8-9mm @ ~3000mi and still improving

 

Congratulations on your new car ZeeForce!

 

Curtis, please PM me or give me your impressions of the 370 once you have it a few days. Have you heard anything about temperature issues with the car? Read another thread on this, possible need for an external oil cooler.

John

 

Just got home with my Z. I had Frank at Empire Nissan in Ontario take care of me, great guy and really helpful to any of you socal people looking for a dealer to get this oil consumption business taken care of. Anyway, the break in is gonna suck, I hate not being able to drive my sports car like a sports car I Will be updating my progress.

 

Two SN’s that I knew of…geez those were some popcorn days…drama

That is awesome, I may help you spring for some of the special oil. I was running it in mine but sold it before I got a sample tested. I am sure you know who would like to see that oil pull some good numbers on the test analysis.


Thanks a bunch that means a lot. We have all spent a couple if not a few years here, and I feel like we are all brothers helping one another out. I will still visit, I still subscribe and see all posts and will chime in everynow and then. Feel free to PM me…that goes for anyone here.

John, thanks and I will as soon as I have some miles under my belt. I have not heard of the possible temp issues, thanks I will read up on the thread.

I have already been in contact with Terry of Dyson Analysis, he was sad to see the 06 go, it was a real piece of work getting in tune and although we did not see the results of the current oil he suggested. I am planning on using it on the 370Z after the regimental break-in method he suggested and John (06CPV35) proved that it works.

Here is the break-in method:

A)
1) Change the oil ASAP once the car gets home. (Did that at 37miles)
2) Change it again at 300-500 miles
3) Change it again at 1000-1200
4) Then let the previous oil change go for the entire 3750 miles and change it out and have it tested by Dyson Analysis

B) Perform sometime (it does not matter when) 5 uphill WOT, never over revving.
C) Follow the mfg recommended break-in – never over-reving past 4k rpm.
D) Have oil analyzed after every oil, to determine if and when the engine components have seated and seal for longevity. Mine still had not fully seated after 20k miles, although I have not looked at my last used oil analysis. As the car is now sold to a local around the corner from me.

Cheers

Hey Guys,

Well, my car consumes oil. I brought it in multiple times, but the dealer is apprehensive to admit that it's consuming oil. The master tech has told me that it's consuming oil the service dude is telling me that it's sitting with NNA right now.

I've been waiting for over 4 weeks for confirmation of a new long block by Nissan. Is there any way I can speed this up? It's already failed two tests.

There's nothing written or any physical evidence to prove that they've done anything, so I feel like I'm being jerked around. Anyone have any advice? I have contacted NNA about it and they gave me a file number, but there has to be something else.

Thanks for the help!
