Joke dude, did they ever advise what caused your engine to blow up? Keep us in formed. Also, look on the brighter side, at least the dealer is cautious to ensure you get a mint engine, they could have ignored everything and just slapped that one in.

nooooooo man my Z is my baby!!! but i wont lie im liking the Maxima allot and im seriously thinking of trading in my truck.

Nothing as bad as the engine, but still down nonetheless. :-/

Then it'll be down again once I get all the stuff needed to ship the car to Houston for some upgrades.

Hope all goes well and maybe this one will not burn oil...

Yeah i cant wait to get her back man its the worst thing having a nice Z sitting doing nothing

id take minor problems over a dead engine anyday

But it took them about month and a half to get those modules from US since it was from there, different ecu's.

Anyways, always keep a steady front, consult with a lawyer and stay off the $20 hookers.

maybe it was crabs running around the car that caused this. j/k

Gatineau Nissan and mine is US imported as well.

Question:

Was your engine in the VIN range for oil consumption? If so, it does explain the lack of oil. However, if your engine wasn't in the range, and you maintained it properly, meaning regular oil change intervals, and this problem still occurred, that's a concern..

BrandonT · 06-11-2011, 01:37 PM

What was the VIN range for OC? Just bought an '09.
