Oh god..at first I wanted to cry, it happened when coming back to work from lunch, i was only a couple of blocks away..when suddenly I was at a stop sign, and then when it was my turn to go, I didn't move, i look at the gauges, and notice my car was off, like after you stall it, so when i go to turn it on, suddenly crazy rod knocking and some valve bouncing around kinda sound. Thankfully, i was only 100 feet away from my work, so i was able to park it ok, but had to get it towed to performance nissan, all the way from reseda. Meh, I on the bright side get a new motor for free (still under warranty). I knew i had an unblessed motor, all my buddies thought i was going crazy when a couple of months ago i had said i felt my car getting slower, I was probably losing compression. And i had a recent incident with a huge vacuum seal, which i believe caused the motor to detonate. and make it go to the nissan gods. amaa! I'm so upset. Thank god i didn't install the 3.7 final drive yet, that for sure would not be good to the new motor.
