so far after 1000 miles on the oil change, Nissan says i am 1/2 quart low!!!

so they went ahead and "called tech support" as they told me and are trying to figure out exactly what to do...

they now have me doing a second 1000 miles after they topped me off...im assuming just to compare the 2 tests

fingers crossed on a new motor!!!!

 

you are going for oil consumption on a turbocharged motor? good luck with that one...

 

the turbo is not on the car yet....just sitting in he shop waiting till i find out if im getting a new motor...

im not THAT dumb haha

 

Y does your sig say APS Turbo? You have the turbo ready to install?

 

yea....the turbo kit is sitting in my garage along with the LSD and all my guages...im just waiting till the oil tests are done....i dident wana put it on the car when im having problems....

but its sitting there teasing me everyday haha

 

Because people love to front.

 

just an update...after 2000 miles of tests and failing that, Nissan took my car in and did their own testing for 4 days...

they gave me a call on monday and said that my car failed all of their tests and that i was going to be getting a brand new long block

so they gave me my car back and told me its going to be about 2 weeks b4 the long block arrives....

needless to say, I AM HAPPY!! once the long block goes in i am going to put a few thousand miles on it (to make sure everything is running ok) then the turbo kit goes on...

 

I have similar plans.

New engine...nice!

 

Does your car have to be under warranty to get the new motor???? How long is warranty for if I purchase an 06 like yours??

 

yes it does have to be....im pretty sure you have a 5 year 50,000 mile motor/drivetran warranty

im only at 25,000 miles so i still have a little bit left

 

well the new longblock finally showed up at Korum Nissan, they started tearing the car apart and saw that my clutch is gone...so looks like ima have to start looking for a clutch..

what would you guys recommend?? iv been checking out ACT and Exidy...

i wana get a new flywheel while im at it too....

 

well, I run the act 6 puck sprung clutch with the act prolite flywheel...does what it is intended to do (hold the power) however it is an extremely touchy clutch as anyone that has driven my car can vouch for. That is the only one i've used so it is the only one i can comment on.

 

i have been looking at that one....im obviously trying to get one at a decent price....so my options are pretty limited haha

but is it touchy, bad? or do you get used to it and like how it feels?

 

That clutch is a royal BEOTCH! if you plan on driving your car around a lot , start working out now.

 

I LOOOOOVE my JWT, put that on the short list for sure.

 

he knows...he had to drive it for a bit to bring it to a car show for me. You do get kinda used to it, but it still sucks. If you plan on getting power though, it does great

 

well iv been talking to sheriff at forged and he set me up with a competition stage 4 clutch (6 puck, sprung) and flywheel (14lb) with everything i need...(TO berring, allignment tool, steel braided lines and fluid) for like 790$ shipped....

so i think im gnna order that...im gnna wait it out for a min and see what kinda responces i get back on if anyone likes it or not....

 

I have the Exedy Stage 1 Organic Clutch & flywheel from GTM. I like the way it feels. And its easy to drive in traffic.

 

How did you go through a clutch in 25k?

 

i have no idea..i rally the ish out of it....but then again the dealer is the one who told me it was shot and you know how they are sometimes....either way i was gnna get a new clutch so its no biggy for me
