So my brother got his new motor installed, it has sixty miles on it, he was driving it tonight, babying it during the break in period, he heard a noise and all of a sudden the car starts overheating, he pulls over to see smoke and oil pouring out from under the car.... 60 miles must be a new record...

more info for those interested:

2006 nissan 350Z enthuziast model, original engine had 30K miles on it, replaced under warranty for oil consumption, its bone stock except for a pop charger and some rims.

 

 

wow, you get the award for "most descriptive" thread ever.



who the *** is your brother, what does he drive, and why did he need a new motor.







i feel like im in the movie clue.

 

^lol!

 

My brother lives in arizona, and he works for nissan what else do you want to know? His favorite color?

As for what he drives seeing as this is the 350Z section of the forum take a wild guess what he drives....

2006 350Z, Got a new motor because his old one had oil problems.

 

That's basically what I was thinking. You wouldn't come on a 350Z forum to talk about your brother's Corvette....

 

60 miles? Wow, that would **** the **** outta me.

 

wow....umm......that sucks?

YOu guys take it back to the dealership and b!tch em out?

 

that isn't what i was talking about.... year?, model?, reason for new engine?, was it warranty work?, mileage on old engine?, was he FI?, NA?,






his original post gave no info at all.

 

Well now that we know the facts, I don't feel as bad for him since his 3rd motor will probably be covered again under warranty. If it was a new built motor it would be a completely different story. Now THAT would suck!

 

Pinky sees someone with a taste for Filet-min-noob.

 

Original post is updated to give the info

 

well he works for Nissan so he can just bring it back. Worse year to buy.

 

Believe it or not, I have seen 2 engines very recently come with a little chunk of metal in a combustion chamber. The tech heard it, pulled off the heads and pulled it out... Very small. NISSAN Tech Line said to release the car, came back shortly after...

I think the new motors they have been building, well, haven't been quite up to par.

 

I guess bad engines is the trade off for the cool headlights/taillights .. i kiiid i kiiid!

 

the V2 blew up!? im gettin an oil consump test to HOPEFULLY get that same engine. im scared mommy...

 

Man, this sucks. My 06 just got its 3rd engine. Lemon time coming soon....

 

All the good engine builders are to busy taking their own sweet time assembling their hand built GTR motors. So they got the second string off the bench to work on the Z motors.

 

make the dealer fix that stupid ****!

 

My 35th is on its third engine (this one is a V2) and I am currently suing Nissan under lemon law. Sounds like your brothers bar didnt have fluid or something.
