And out of the momment decided to use this as an excuse to make himself feel better.. my apologies if thats not the case but it's just how I feel about this.

Im hard pressed to believe what was said to happened, happened.. but im in for updates

Sorry to say it, but I too agree with Chuck and Eric. The damage appears to be the result of the "VDC" being turned off going around the corner and the gas pedal pressed real hard for effect.............. Now all that has to be done is to convince the insurance company that it was the same problem that is going on with the Toyota's. Which by the way is another questionable situation. Fifteen minutes of fame I believe it is called..!

Just my

Since the car wasn't moved after the crash I assume Nissan will be able to tap into the EDR and see exactly what happened.

In for updates,
To the OP glad to hear your ok.

It will be interesting to see what the black box has to say.....

the-truth · 03-30-2010, 09:05 PM

If what the original poster says is true, the updates may be a long time coming. I can only imagine the level of investigation Nissan will want to do due to a claim such as this.

Yesterday I have the first experience of the car RPM getting stock in 4K RPM after downshifting and slowing down for about 50MPH. It did it for more time than the actual SRM do it when downshifting.

Mine got stuck in the 2500 RPM range after down shifting about 2 months ago with the 7AT. I was breaking so I took my foot off the brake and pressed the gas to jump the RPMs a little bit and that seemed to correct the issue. It was rather strange though.

hmm, i spent 1000 on sport wheels... gonna spend 700 from 370parts on bigger brakes when my front brakes go, which will be about 500 extra, so 1500 towards sports package...

need a diff, but ill have a carbonetics or quaife 1500...

theres the 3 grand, leaves me with rear big brake kit...

but

piece of mind that my car wont go revving on its own.... priceless

haha jk im pissed i dont have sports package but what ya gonne do, i took a good deal on a base leftover on the lot..

Also, in for updates.

If by "a lot" you mean nothing then yes. I haven't found any sport rays being sold, much less for $1K in a while. Is there some site other than this one where people post used 370z parts?

fullmonty · 04-04-2010, 01:17 AM

I'd like to know if there are any more updates
