Wow, Glad everything is going to work out for you.

wilsonp · 05-13-2011, 04:22 PM

I was going to say maybe their plan to use engines from Tennessee would help you, but it doesn't appear to make our engine. OTOH, the Japan Nissan plant is operational again, but won't be in full production until June.

Cool, sounds like things will be ok.

Westwood · 05-14-2011, 10:12 AM

yeah everything should be ok and hoping i get my baby back in June!

Hey Westwood, did you get your car back yet? I blew my motor last night. Same thing as yours I'm sure. My car was consuming oil also so I'm not surprised it let go. Just hope my claim goes smooth, I get a long block, and my tech knows what he is doing.

Old post? This our life, right here and now... It sucks to be us

red6spd · 05-29-2011, 09:51 AM

Good to hear everything worked out. I check my oil everytime I drive it (once or twice a week) So far I only had to add a squirt of oil hear and there but the worry of low oil is always on my mind, I think an Oil Pressure gauge will be in my future just for added peice of mind.

Zedx · 06-01-2011, 03:38 AM

Hope the new engine is awesome. Cant wait for pics. and new dyno. to see how the new engine performs.

Westwood · 06-05-2011, 11:07 PM

Wow. That's some pretty awful luck.... I hope they do something to take care of you (Nissan should be making your payment while you wait, or something). Man, I hope it all works out....
