Strange issue then car died.

Update:

finally had time to deal with it car went to Nissan and they said it skipped timing and bent a valve. So either need to rebuild engine or replace it

Not sure how a engine with only 33,000Km on it in 5 years with zero issues has this happen

Sorry to hear of your unfortunate luck. From what I have seen it’s a rare occurrence bending valve/s. Definitely rebuild it and upgrade since you have the opportunity there are a lot of choices.

Not even sure why your trying to deal with Nissan. Go to the after market people that actually work on Nissan performance cars everyday and give solid advise.

Speedtech is the preferred shop in Edmonton. They have the most premier builds in town and have plenty of contacts and proper resources to help you.

Dealing with Nissan is only for service items and issues under warranty because you have to. Sad to say but Nissan dealerships cant keep good techs anymore, they all work in the aftermarket business.

did you shift from 3rd to neutral before going to 4th?

the ecu might have mistaken that you were downshifting to a lower gear (1st) and attempted to rev-match and it over rev'd the engine in the process.

Nope went straight to 4th, pricing out a top end rebuild if the pistons are ok and a full rebuild if not vs just doing a used engine for now. If I do the used engine I told them I want the engine that's in my car and will either rebuild it or sell it as a core to recoup some costs. Should know what's going to end up cheaper for now this week.

Everytime I glance at this thread title I read it as "Strange issue then cat died" and I'm like "sorry for your loss, and is this the right forum for you?"
