[/QUOTE] as for the recall, I will be very hesitant to let my dealer touch that recall, after reading the fix, unless I see the leak myself. looks like way too much for them to screw up for a hose that "might" leak[/QUOTE]
I agree with you there. There is no way i'm taking my car in to Nissan for this job. They couldn't even do the "fuel door won't release" TSB without bending my door all out of whack.

Ouch. My VIN is included. Thought the days of TSB's and such were long behind me. Thanks for (re)posting. I had no idea and I somehow missed it, too. Haven't received anything from Nissan yet.
Yeah, that one made me scoff. What they say and what they actually do are two different things. I typically get the car back with the radio blaring some unknown station anyway.

+1....way too much stuff for them not to screw up. Sucks that we feel that way but good Nissan techs are hard to find.

This really PI$$ES me off. I just had my Z in for service on Feb. 14 and my VIN is in that range. The service guy said nothing about it. Thanks to the original poster for posting this up again.

I agree on the Repost issues. This is the first I've heard of it. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to go through all 17 million posts to see what has been posted before!!!!
Thanks for the REPOST

I'm so pissed with Nissan Service. I wouldn't be surprised if they denied this service to me. I'm going to press them hard this time.

Damn, I haven't been watching the boards so I didn't even know about it until I received the recall notice in the mail today. DAMN, I have to agree that's a LOT of work and lots of potential for error.

On the bright side this would be a good time to upgrade to the Nismo S-tune suspension and exhaust since they have to drop it anyways. If you buy the parts from the dealer doing the work they shouldn't charge for swaping them before they put the car back together. Any thoughts?

Recalls have to be done for free. Warranty not needed.
Does anyone know if there is a time-limit for having them fix this? 3 months? 6 months? Forever? I'm worried about them screwing up my Borla exhaust (among aother things) and am going to hold off on having this done if I can.

Thanks for the post; I missed it the first time around.
