Yup, its unfortunate but some of us had to learn the hard way with FI. Mazworxs blew my car the day I was going to pick it up. Decided to not rebuild but to just buy a brand new lower block from nissan direct. So far after taking the car to Z1 to retune the car drives 1000 percent with no issues.

I will be watching and talking to Ryan about what he is going to do on his build and maybe we can do it at the same time since I still have the blown block in my garage.

We won't know for sure until the motor teardown.

I may be the first FI 370Z casualty? Sometimes, it's not always great to be the first.

Also, there was a Stillen SC G37 that blew his after a dealer installed headers and told the owner he didn't need a retune.

Haha, you just don't want to be the slower VQ in the Tampa area.

You are definitely not the first FI 370Z casualty... I know of at least one 370 that popped over a year ago... Funny how a lot of those that have popped don't make it onto the forums...

I wish they did come on the forums so we could learn more about it... that's the only way we will know the limits and weakspots of this motor.

We won't know until the engine is torn down.

If you want more pictures, find me on Facebook. I took her out a few weeks back and she stayed at my place
