Why not smIke it instead! lol

On a more serious note, that does suck Megan370. Hopefully everything gets taken care of.

That too;)

some Update.

I went to remove all of my intake system mod today just in case if someone there doesnt like to see a fully modded car.

Custom CAI w/ oversize MAF
Custom Throttle body
my own 350z HR Intake manifold (M370 Motordyne)
Custom Oil catch can

the dealership is supposed to be mod friendly as someone here got his engine done under warranty few weeks/months ago.


Since I didnt really know what to do, if I was to drive the car with a topped up tranny fluid or just use the towing option from the Warranty ( I learned that last night ) up to 250kms at the nearest dealership ...
my nearest dealership is 150km and the second one where I want it to be is at 162kms !


so anyway I topped up 2 L of tranny fluid and reflashed the car with the stock ROM (Uprev)
the noise hasnt changed a bit ! in every gear position (P , N , D)
I had my ear under the engine oil pan , I was hearing a lot of knocking like if the crankshaft was about to give up ... and the Torque Convector also make knock/clacking/tapping noise ...
while I was topping up the tranny fluid, I saw the inside of the hose which had some debris the biggest one was about 1mm !

soo I will be getting towed !


im not sure if I should tell them I added some fluid in and saw the debris ...


edit; I have a big problem with Ign timing since last november and everytime the ECU would pull a lot of timing
so im wondering if the engine is indeed going out at the same time ... ! the knock sensor are detecting noise and make the ECU pull timing ... I never had any problem with the transmission untill last weeekend.

what was your tranny problem ?

NA or FI when you got it done under warranty ?

Evos aren't exactly problem-free, either.. :icon14:

But good luck with fixing your problem. It sucks when your DD goes down and you're left without a car.

I never pretended the EVOX was problem-free ! ;)
because few weeks ago I wanted to exhange my Z for the Evo but since I have way to much $$ invested into the Z ... I decided to keep it :icon14:

Im sorry but you are far far away from fully modded but i still wish you good luck with the stealership.

tranny went out. I am FI now and they were able to cover it.

its because I havent mentionned all ... !
Like I said I only removed the intake system yesterday.

PPE headers
Custom x-pipe
Custom rear muffler
AP Racing BBK
Kw3
SPC front and rear camber arm with toe kit.
Sway bar
Oil cooler Engine/transmission
Lightweight pulley kit

and some other stuff that I miss to remember right now

Very nice mod list as i stand corrected

The car is being tow right now and should arrive at the dealership in the next hour or so if everything went well ...
Hoping to have some news by the end of the day ! *Cross finger*

Do you have a cooler for the 7AT fluid on there?

Update from the dealership ,

The flywheel is cracked badly apparently and ofcourse the front seal on the transmission is leaking which I already knew
Im surprise the flywheel is crack !


I talked with the mechanic who worked on the car and told me the part was backorder :(
when that is done they will proceed with a roadtest

I tried to go a bit deeper into the problem , like talking about the X amount of fluid missing that could have made some damage and would maybe appear in the future.
I was told that they cant really just open it if they know for sure there is a bigger problem than the seal ,,,
and if nothing is wrong I would have to pay for it ?!?! that why did arent doing it right now if during the road test , the hear or see a problem then the next step of the inspection would probably be to look inside the transmission.

so Im waiting a few days to know what would be the possible date for the backorder ETA...

I was also told that if in case something happen , like the transmission fail in 5-10k kms ,
I still have the Power Train warranty 5yrs or 100 000kms

I thought my basic warranty stoped right at 3yrs or 60 000kms (Canada)

I was about to say.. CA gets ripped, US powertrain is 60k MILES. 100k makes more sense in kilos. Good luck, that's pretty shabby that it cracked with just bolt ons.. maybe it was out of balance.
