Blown Vortech, please help
haha I was going to say... I thought he said that you can only keep the warranty within the 6-8psi boost levels. Why would he tune it for 12?
Well this is interesting just got confirmation from a very good customer and friend of g35keys. According to the secondary customer the oil level was never checked since the install and the car was heavily abused. Please await photos of the draining of oil.

If you want to start calling your customers including an outside witness present at the time both liars then I see how you really do things there.
Do you not recall tech asking you which type of oil to top it off with at the same time???? i was standing next to him when he did.

The pics just prove he had no oil from the time he checked it last.. To now, was it negligence? Could it have been prevented? Or was it inevitable and unstoppable due to install.. Oil feed etc...

nothing more is going to come out of this discussion. minds have been made up. even a 3.12 pulley is still voiding the warranty. based on the boost needed to make 400 hp on DD

No oil leaks were found under or around the engine bay of the vehicle. Customer has stated that there was no smoking from the car when the problem came up. Generally a huge oil leak will generate some type of smoke or noticeable leaks on the ground.
I can't catch up on all comments as I'm busy but to Speak up correctly...
The tuner didn't say he didn't check to see he said there wasn't anything that looked like it would come from there but when he got a chance he would take a look I must be fair about accurate statements.

Ok i just wanna get something clear! You stated you checked the oil 1 week prior to D-Day and it was A-OK!!! and car was running great before that?? Now a week later motor siezes and there is no oil..... How is that Daves fault? So what u saying is when my injector stuck open and siezed my motor that Dave should have replaced it under his warranty since he did all the required work?
Djamps...Now it's just straight flaming. You know you my boy but that's not what I'm about at all
Tuner texted, I called spoke for a few minutes.
To ask again, what's this issue with the Spun bearing I think I saw earlier, if this is an issue any pricing on what vortech charges to get it fixed?

Djamps is just saying what he knows....Call Dave.

And maybe this is also What Dave is thinking as me bashing him so let me clear this up
"What is your input on what I should do?"
I'm refering to how much boost being ran with new block, price costs, set up etc.

Me and Dave spoke on the phone. I also spoke with my buddy that's also supercharged and they said my verbage could be a little misleading. It was the T-trim. It was used, I asked Dave to check it before I bought it and he said it was good to go ( I wasn't trying to buy it unless he said it was ok)

I'm just guessing that put your car back on the road...it will cost little over 5k. Or you can ask dave see if he has stock block in the shop...But that's not worthy if you have a T-trim.
Edit: Don't forget to send your blower back to vortech to check

well this is way out of porportion, this group is so quick to point fingers and start drama. The default responce from all of you is that Tech was trying asking abuot some sort of legal issue about getting his car fixed when if fact...
he was simply asking about what should he do for the next application. He isnt asking about what he should do or not do to or against the tuner. He is asking that now that he has to make a move should he remain with a stock block with this set up with more free flowing exhaust mods
or
because of the power levels, go with a built block?
Thats why I NEVER post on 350z anymore....everyone gets all butt hurt like it was their car, none of you know or understand the situation fully so your opinions are useless.

unsubscribed for the fuggin waist of time with all the freggin experts on here.
good luck tech..
save money go with a stock block/exhaust....two stock blocks installed is less than the built one.
FYI: I am not an expert, take my suggestion with a grain of salt. Do what works best for you budget and what your tuner recommends.
FYI#2 Never asks this crowd to help you, only your tuner can do that, Unless they are writing checks or know you personally, dont post things like this on the forums. The responces make the situation worst and the tuner bad, which should be the case in this situation.
