Hey Zilent_Jay,

I live in the UK, and have a 09 370z with 9900 miles on it. And guess what? i have experienced exactly the same as what you have.

about a month ago, the car displayed a CEL, and put me into 3.5k limp mode. I took it to the nissan dealers imediatly to have a look at.. and only today has the car been fixed (should be picking it up in 30 minutes or so).

the CEL's were, missfire, and timing errors.

The dealer replaced a valve solonoid first, this didnt fix the problem, they were asked to check oil preasure and the timing chain.. none of this looked at fault. They then got a head nissan tech in the UK to come and inspect the car, and he said the fault was the sprocket on one of the banks. This was replaced yesterday, and has fixed it.

Im now worried about the oil issues, im going to mention this to my dealer today!

Hows your situation going? did they replace the long block?

Will
