Damn, this story hurts me just hearing it. As said before it's the Bullydog that killed your motor. That guy knew NOTHING about tuning a Z. For your next evolution once you're back to stock your choices are Uprev or Ecutek. There's a ton of information here to help you along in the direction you want to go.

Sounds like your in for a battle with Jerod to fix your Z. Or, you're just going to have to eat the price for a new motor and labor cost.

Also, any dealership can deny to work on your vehicle.

Sorry to hear about your car, that stinks! I hope you scare him enough to have him replace your engine. Good luck and keep is updated!

Okay here's an update got my Z Pack October 21st. The cost of a rebuilt motor was 9863 dollars. Installed by Nissan. Now I still have to go after Jerod my total lawsuit against him is 47000. The dumbass has been served but what I think he's going to do is file bankruptcy to avoid the lawsuit.

What else is included in that $47k? That's a huge jump from $9700. How are you going to justify that in court?

Who the heck tunes a car with a Bully Dog tuner?

My thoughts exactly!!! this is why I do my research on here before I do anything... Hell as far as I knew Bully Dog Tuners were only for Diesel trucks...

O.P. I know a good friend who is a Nissan mechanic here locally who has a complete 370 motor in his garage he's wanting to sell. absolutely nothing wrong with it. PM me if you decide your interested in it.

A literal bulldog probably could have done a better job than that jackhole, Jerrod. Sorry to hear about the issues, OP. Good luck going after that piece of scum

Darkgentleman · 08-16-2016, 05:52 PM

Thanks but I am in the process of suing Jerod..

You'll most likely need to repair the car on your own and then hopefully recoup your costs. There's no way a court case will end quickly.

Jhill · 08-16-2016, 08:06 PM

Am I the only one that thought bringing your car to a shop called Next Level "Audio" for performance tuning was going to be a bad result from the start? Sounds like some speaker boy (who are famous for ******* up today's cars left and right by tapping into CAN lines and all kinds of other crap that I used to have to fix as the owners tried to claim warranty at the dealer after going there and then you see all these speghetti wiring and modules hidden behind the dash) decided he would give it a go at the performance world. The results seem to reaffirm it too.

Best of luck to you. Jared sounds like he played in a field he doesn't really understand. Love how his Nissan tech friend even had the knowledge to know when to back out of that one and say sorry bro your on your own.

Dreadnaught · 08-16-2016, 08:38 PM

I love and hate fixing someone elses shoddy work.

scope22 · 08-16-2016, 08:55 PM

i'm pretty sure they make you sign a waiver before tuning, if you signed anything you're done.

Waivers, for the most part, don't mean much if the "tuner" was negligent, didn't exercise proper care, etc. But I'm no lawyer.

try putting the stock cats back on the car and see if a nissan dealership will work on it then?
