$1200 isn't too bad. Glad you're back on the road. :tup:

Sorry to here about the nightmare of a mess. I know nothing about Riverside Nissan but I can tell you that Scott at Fontana Nissan in parts know his stuff. Ask for Gus the service advisor (really cool guy) These guys are heavily into modified Nissans and other cars.

They really take care of you.

I didn't know any of them. Bought my Nissan used from Car Max. I had a check engine light and I was an hour away. Gus got me in and checked out in bout 5 minutes.

I do my homework and have taken my car there for most of my things.

The only other place I can vouch for is Specialty Z. Sebastian is the man. He knows his stuff !

They still are trying to imply the added stress from the weight of the lines/connector was an issue but if that was really the case I think we would see people with oil coolers all over the forum seeing similar problems. I think its really that the thing was just over-torqued but it could have been something else as well (shoddy oil pan from the factory).

Anyway I should *hopefully* get my car back on Wednesday. This has caused yet another week without my car. Ive driven it like twice in the last 3 weeks now. Makes me a sad panda.

I'm really glad they fixed it for you, since they broke it.

That said, I've not driven my Z since July, so don't cry too much! hahaha! :rofl2:

I remember when my cooling system blew up... everything was orange. This seems sticker. Happy everything worked out in the end and you can drive again. I watched the video like I was watching a murder lol.
