Nissan is sending out a tech?
I've had my Z a few days over a month and it was in the shop today for what might have been the 3rd tranny. I just got a call from the service writer saying that they haven't fixed it yet, but Nissan is sending out a tech to look at the car. He said I can pick up the car tonight, but I have to bring it back Monday.
Anyone know what this is all about? My co-worker suggested they are trying to prove that I broke it somehow...that better not be true.

It turns out that I was having a hard time shifting because the 2nd tranny wasn't installed properly. One tech worked on it the entire day adjusting the shifter assembly and it now shifts pretty damn smooth and light. It's actually fun to drive because I can get into freakin gear now!
So I just have one tranny problem left, which is the loud bearing noise when the clutch is out. You can hear the noise here:
save-as please
Lemon Law eh? Maybe i'll pursue that if they can't fix the noise, thanks.

Looks like the Falcon is having problems my friend ... As for the noise, that is most likely the Throwout Bearing which is usually that noisy when the clutch is engaged. I have yet to hear a Z without this noise, which sucks in my opinion. But hey, as long as it works, no problem! I have noticed that the 008 revision is not as loud as the 006 was though.

Re: Nissan is sending out a tech?
Hey HanZolo:
Who did you buy your Z from and who installed your new tranny?
I bought my Z at Rancho Santa Margarita Superior Nissan. I have had pretty good luck with their service department. I have also used Power (Irvine) Nissan's Service Department a couple of times. Both of these dealers Sales Departments suck!
Irvine Nissan wouldn't let me test drive a Z unless I started a Purchase Agreement. Tustin Nissan wouldn't either.
Hang in there. Hopefully the third time will be a charm!

cpoe52, Hi this is Han again, i used to use the name Z33frog. I bought mine at RSM Nissan too, and their service department told me my tranny was fine. A couple days later a dealer up in LA listened to it and confirmed that it was a bad one.
It's funny that I avoided Power Nissan@Irvine for a while thinking they sucked too...but they ended up fixing the binding shifter. It's pretty hit-and-miss with these dealers.

I've asked the service manager to send the Nissan tech out anyway to listen to the whine and bearing noise. It would be good to get a "final" answer from an engineer if it's a normal noise or not. If he says it's normal, I promise to stop talking about it
