What happened? Dam*. That sucks. Guess that's what I'm looking forward to, as well.

Yeah ^^^^^^^^^ Sorry guys, but after 1 year and half of just having to go here and do that and blah blah blah I decided to let her go. Definately not worth the headache, I made an effort but it seemed that even with the new engine that the problem would persist. So rather then going through all of that crap AGAIN I decided to just get rid of my car and drive something normal for a change. Best of luck to you guys, be ready for more crap after engine install. I can only suggest lookin to another car if the situation doesnt improve.

so are you in the process of selling it? did you sell it? Or did you just drive it off a cliff?

lol should have driven it off a cliff but I traded it in for a Nissan Rogue. People were like WTF you went from a Z to a Rogue!???????? I am enjoying about 400 something miles per tank, still have the 08 Altima coupe SE :P
So letting go of the Z wasnt THAT hard.

Wow how G@y of them, I got 0 crap from the dealership I was at.
You should ask the Service Manager how much they stand to make
on the engine swap, then say you will look for another dealer to work with.
I am sure he will be singing a different tune REAL FAST

Ok, so I got the Z back on Friday. I'm currently making arrangements with another dealership, to have the oil consumption test done again, so I can see if the swap made a difference.
Anyway, they forgot to plug in my backup lights, so I almost got hit backing up. And now my transmission is acting up. Can't a guy catch a break!!

BC it's cheaper to replace the motor then to fix them, I believe it has to do with the rings on the block. Instead of machining every block they just mass produce new blocks which suck also
