Throttle Bodies - questions... dealership scaring me

NISMO IX

Some of the most discounted prices I've encountered have come from Boch Nissan in Norwood Massachusetts.

The dealership YOU'VE gone to is trying to take advantage of you because you clearly show you know not much about your Z. Throttle Bodies MSRP are $687 and change each. I hardly think the gaskets are hundreds of $. Which leaves over $1000 for 2-3 hours worth of labor?

he was saying $860 times two or so = ~$1700 plus labor

And I agree the CEL doesn't necessarily mean new TBs, it's probably just Nissan's next step in troubleshooting.

Thanks for the recommendation. It would be 90 minutes to get there with traffic.. will have to stay closer I spose. Think Salem, Massachusetts area


And yeah, I didn't know what a throttle body was before I looked it up. I just like to drive the car, ok? 83,000 miles of joy

It's a dealership on Route 1 in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. Urban-ish area I expect higher rates. Plenty of import shops around me locally, is my car old enough and not unique enough I can go to any one of them instead?

Thanks to other replies, too. Convinced me to get my car back from these folks. Sad, they had good coffee donuts and wifi, too

As has been mentioned above, changing TBs is not a difficult job - any competent mechanic should be able to easily handle the job.

You might want to download a copy of the FSM (link in my sig), copy to a USB stick, and give to the mechanic.


First thing you need to do is get the DTC(s) so you can see what the car thinks is wrong. No sense replacing TB(s) if that's not the problem.

Good move. They must have some amazing coffee and donuts for them to be charging the prices they do. And you could probably just walk in and grab some without even having service done
