Were you able to look under the car at all? It could be a hole in the block, oil pan, or your oil filter came loose from not correctly tightening. You also said you were low on oil, did you do your own oil change and use a new copper gasket and make sure the drain plug was properly tightened?

Good luck.

What??? Do the G3s present a problem? I'm not going to need a tune am I?

If all you have are G3's, you are fine. By themselves, they are not going to affect A/F much. If you have full bolt-ons (test pipes more than anything else with other mods), you should consider it. None of the above should lean your car out to the point you would have serious detonation, but your mods would be much more effective with a tune.

Ok, all I have is G3's and a CBE so I assume I'll be ok then. Thanks for the info.

Westwood · 05-08-2011, 12:22 AM

ill do an update monday with pics on the lift if they let me in the garage.

CrownR426 · 05-08-2011, 12:29 AM

Damn, is this under warranty?
I know most dealer's would void it. lol
That sucks if you have to pay out of your own pockets...
Sorry to hear this, I know how it feels.

I don't think most dealers would refuse service for bolt ons.

don't worry man it should be covered

from what you wrote in your signature nothing should drops the warranty

adampetrasek · 05-08-2011, 03:51 AM

I am so sorry to see this, and at such low miles!!! But as awful as it sounds, i love the photo and reference to a murder scene.... Victim on the stretcher, lifeblood strewn across the road, what looks like a possible weapon laying a few feet away. Very creative shot in such a horrible moment. I hope Nissan takes care of you!

JTTZR · 05-08-2011, 04:16 AM

Good luck, buddy. Might not be as bad as it looks. Even if it is I don;t believe Nissan will get away with putting the blame on you.

Keeping my fingers x'd for you.

m4a1mustang · 05-08-2011, 07:13 AM

Good luck with the warranty service, man. Hopefully they won't hassle you.

Lemers · 05-08-2011, 07:35 AM

There's always a bright side. If You engine is dead and Nissan won't pay, then you can go for an engine swap. Put the most powerful engine at will fit in you car

Yeah, because it's just that easy to swap engines in our car.
