If u brought it to the dealer, and the issue still exsists.
They shouldnt have any problem looking at it again.
Call them up, talk to the GM.
Your are right anmvq, the job was not done right.
Anmvq - Have them do a leak down test with a smoke machine.
fuel pressure check forsure.
I have a feeling its a fuel delivery problem, Infact the supercharger might be working.
But your not getting proper fuel, cause it lean out?
fuckyotech - If this happened to you, who would u point the finger at?
yourself? theres only one person to blame - nissan - they never corrected the issue.
which means, it was mis-dianosged.
Its like you bringing your car into a shop, your getting a horriable grinding noise from the front, the shop says your left front wheel bearing is shot and brakes are metal on metal, the bill 2000$ bucks. You tell them to do the work. You pick your car up, and the noise is still there. Im pretty sure you would be pretty quick to point fingers. as would anyone.
This doesnt have anything to do with a sense of humor, his 50,000$ car isnt running/running like crap, its stressful when your baby isnt working right, you should know that!
Give him a break.

Some techs are very busy, and just dont test drive vehicles.
This always causes problem, as well as hurting there integrity of the company.
I own a Fountaintire, One of the biggest mech/tire retailers in canada.
I have my tech test drive everything, It really lowers the rate of comebacks.
And keeps my customers happy!
this seem like a simple case, of the tech not test driving the vehicle.
Anmvq - did u tell them no test pilots? not to test drive?
i know when my car goes in for warranty stuff, I clearly state - i dont want my car driven, without me in it. They understand.. ive gained a great relationship with the gtr master tech over at erickson nissan, and i trust him to test drive it lol.

I hope it all get sorted out Anmvq :tiphat:


Lets also remember to KEEP IT ON TOPIC and not a debate

No I know some techs are very busy, I ran a local repair shop and a private owned one years ago. I MADE the techs drive everything too. Keeps your busy happy and customers happy, I did not say no test pilots, LOL

This the dealer that installed the kit and I have my"own" tech, One guy and one guy only who works on my car. I think there are or where some other things going on, ( Will get into to that if I can get back up) , But he should have driving the car at least, Last time the dealer put on 125 miles before I pickerd it up after the intall. They had to keep driving it and sending files back to Stillen for the no start" TOO RICH" issue,

EVOHUNTER 09-14-2012 01:29 PM

Well then, Nissan didnt "complete" the job properly.
Call them, State your case..
They should help you out, As you've owned a shop and as i do too.
Dont come off as an azzhole, no one wants to help an azzhole.
Be civilized, Professional..
Maybe its just me, but when a customer comes in screaming and swearing.
I find it immature and very un-professional, dont get me wrong.. depending on the situation.
Like a tire coming loose, that could kill someone - if a customer comes in scream and yelling.
i understand, but about 90% of cases are a joke.
Had a customer today, We fixed his RR tire, patched it .He came back 2 hours later.
"my check engine lights on, you guys did something! fix it now"
This guy was a complete A-hole, I told him it has nothing to do with your tire, sorry
i cant do anything.
But, if u came in, said "hey i have a wierd light on now, after you fixed this tire"
i woulda went out, scaned it, showed him why the codes on.
and everyones happy.
Being an azzhole never gets you ahead.

Completly agree with what you said, I took the same approach, Come in be civil and I will help you, Heck depending on the issue I would pull a guy off a car and look at it right away, Be a ##### an you luck if I look at it at all.

I have sent two emails to the Service manager( Guy I have delt with since day one), Just asking him on what he thinks we should do, He did before say they where not comfortable with the belt issue an wanted my tuner to look at it. He has yet to reply to me. I will proably send one more email on Monday, Then will take different steps. I normally would call but he never answers the phone, Only recently was I able to get him to call me. But 98% time we talk its VIA email.

EVOHUNTER 09-14-2012 03:30 PM

ANMVQ 09-14-2012 05:20 PM

ANMVQ 09-17-2012 02:03 PM

EH nice, Was hoping tho for something this weekend, keep up posted tho.

fahkyotech 09-17-2012 04:12 PM

Did the dealer even attempt to put on the original pulleys to make sure your car ran correctly?

thats a negative, They started the car up a handful off times, moved it around (Enough to burn through 2 belts) and told me the car was all set other than the belt wanting to walk off, Because the idler was TOO tight.

Did you make such request for the dealership to possibly try to go that route instead of the cog pulley set up? By the sounds of your earlier posts I don't think they even moved the car around

ANMVQ 09-18-2012 07:50 AM

I did not tell them to put the stocl pulleys on the car and drive it? ( not the tech) I'm paying them to diaq and fix the car, Seriously, I should not be calling them and telling them what to do, It was frustating enough that they would call me and say things dont fit, or something is hitting we do not know what to do? My point is if you can not fix issues with the car with the kit on it, or with the kit itself, ( upgrade a pulley and add a few washers) then you should not be selling and installing the kit. An say they will be warranty on the work. I just got my receipt and I paid for shipping the SC to Stillen, Really? What happend to the Warranty? Plus there is no break down what the bill is for.An the only thing on the receipt is "Customer will tow car to his shop for belt and pulley repair". Nothing about how the car is is still not runnning an may need addional repairs. I was told the car was all set, No other issues with it.

I have tried to contact them VIA email last week, Got one reply " I will read your email now" That was yesterday.

ANMVQ 09-18-2012 09:37 AM

An wont have any update till sometime next week, They are slammed all week and wont have anytime till then,

I agree with some of your statement I feel as if there is something missing too this story just not the kind of work I expect from a dealership

Did you see my post? " I feel there is something else going here" Will talk more about it when I can prove it".. I have a gut feeling about something but just wont toss it out here for that. I will need to be sure, Proff not just my gut, But it makes sense ... It would just be easy to say I'm crazy, LOL

I wouldnt expect that from a dealer either, But it is exaclty what happened. :/

EVOHUNTER 09-25-2012 09:43 AM

Any updates?!!?!

ANMVQ 09-25-2012 12:49 PM

Some what, So compression is great, Smoke test passed. Issuse it still there, there are some hard codes in the ECU tho , P1233, P1239 and P2133, They told me there where 7 codes in all, The others where all Throttle body related, They rewired the the TB cable and those codes went away these stayed?

EVOHUNTER 09-25-2012 01:27 PM

I had all those codes aswell, i rewired my throttlebodys.. and they all went away.
They also had to reflash my ecu for a coldstart issue - TSB
everything is fine now.

Nice thanx man,:tiphat:

So did you car do the same thing as mine , With the lean issue and couldnt drive it? Step on the gas and the thing fell on its face

EVOHUNTER 09-25-2012 01:54 PM

Yes sir, limp mode, car wouldnt rev past 2500 and my abs and trac light came on.

ANMVQ 09-25-2012 02:21 PM

Exactly what mine is doing, minus the abs and trac light

ANMVQ 09-26-2012 09:59 AM

The limp mode was just something else the dealer F'd up, and did not fix, Said there was NO codes at all, Sure!

are you getting the limp mode after driving/on a dyno? I had the same issue but it was because I was missing the plate that blocks the direct airflow to the air filters. The MAF's are so close to the filters that is causes them to read two different numbers causing the engine to go into that limp mode for me. I was able to dignose the problem using a high speed fan on a dyno and seeing the air fuel jump all over the place when not under load. it basically creates a ram air effect when you are driving pushing air to the engine when the engine is not under load (ie crusing) and makes the car believe something is wrong. I fixed the problem by making a air box out of a piece of aluminium from lowes to prevent direct air contact with the bottom filter.

ANMVQ 09-26-2012 12:06 PM

just driving it. The codes are all TB codes, The plate is there I think, Havent seen the car since July 7th. But I really do not think it fell off, LOL

I would try making something that blocks the air a little more efficently and erase the codes and see if it returns. I got so many different codes due to this problem but after doing this fix I have never had the problem since. :tup:

ANMVQ 09-26-2012 01:14 PM

I would if I had the car, Honestly looking to ship it out of state now, Probaly going to have it shipped to the Shop in CT,
Really sux that no one here( Where I am can fix the car) I have no time to play with it, Working and having you own business on the side leaves 0 time for anything else, until its dark out side,, LOL

nope, Seems like no one can fix it, Maybe I should just get rid of the car,
The more and more I dig into this the more PO'd I get, If I ship it its gonna cost me $800 round trip, Plus what every its going to cost me to fix the issue.

Mind me asking what shop? Are there other shops in your area?

weiboy718 09-26-2012 03:07 PM

Just a little info for you.

My friend who had STILLEN installed his kit when it first came out. He had issues too and turned out to be a faulty throttle body. Might want to look into that also since you are getting throttle body codes.

Good luck!

Thanx Weiboy, A lot , But I can not get anyone to friging look at. The place that has is now , Wont touch anything because the have no, Infiniti books( what I was told) I'm also pretty sure its the wiring or even if it is the TB I need someone to tell me that, My issue is getting someone to look at it. My options are now out of State(800-100$ shipping cost), Something I'm not happy with becasue from the jump I was PROMISED by the dealer who is full of it, They would warranty the car and the kit, If I tow it to another dealer they are going to charge my for the TB and all work they have to do. Something I'm not really happy about, I really just venting cause the peice of mind I thought I was buying when I bought this went out the window 3 months ago and I am starting to get . .. . . .. :stirthepot:
