This is going to get interesting...

So when my build was being done by Lutz, they posted a thread on bimmerforums. Recently, someone asked for updates. I've never posted my problems until now since they asked...

That is an interesting turn of events! I was hoping to see a post saying that NISSAN was replacing your motor.............still got my fingers crossed though!

The Nissan contact that my Infiniti friend knows apparently got fired Monday.

I've been waiting since November to take my car into the Nissan guy and was told "sometime in January"...so that was a lot of patience wasted!

I've contacted a few more people and we will see what happens. I'm willing to drive as far as Georgia to get this fixed...

If anyone knows anyone who's willing to help

no problem!

I thought about it but im not quite to the point of building the engine, got a couple more things to do first. Sticking with it was a good idea, that engine could be your break

^yep.

Isn't it funny how when you first go into a shop, you tell them you want more power with lots of reliability, and everything is always "no problem!".... But once they get the money and issues pop up, it's "oh there's no guarantees when you boost an N/A motor..."

NO SH!T!! Why can't shops just be bluntly honest from the beginning? Less short term revenue but the loyalty and honesty would generate long term success...

omg it's alex

Yeah, their excuse was a custom build comes with problems... NO SH!T!!! Had Lutz been a standup shop and paid for their mistakes, they could have made more money off of me by me being a loyal customer. I guess they didn't realize my Z was basically a "driving billboard" (quoted by S&R) because of how much publicity the single turbo build got. They could have made a lot of money off of me (more than they have) and could have gotten into the VQ market, but if I ever see them posting up on any VQ boards, I will eat them alive.

Speaking of...time to update my post on bimmerforums

Oh yeah, hi Alex
