Warranty Expiring Soon, what to check?

Well Osbornsm,
If you drive your car like a race/drag car, like many on this forum do, maybe investing in a long term Nissan backed warranty (before your factory expires) wouldn't be a bad idea? I wouldn't use any of those 2nd/3rd party warranties but based on the posts I've seen here, a Nissan backed extended warranty is nice when "My 2nd to 3rd shift at 7000 just started grinding" etc.... requires a new transmission/driveline out of warranty.

Interesting option, i shall look into this.

And yes, i am hard on my vehicle. My "closed course" practices are especially rough. But i do have oil cooler, brake ducts to help with some of the heat issues of the Z.

I think that I've read here that Nissan is much more willing to do the Nissan extended warranty on a car that's within the 36 month and in good shape.

Have to be careful with mods though. If I had the option I'd have the Nissan extended on my car, but it's too old.

Interesting how you say it grinds from 2nd to 3rd at 7K rpms ,because my Z does it from 1st to 2nd at 5k rpms, and my Z only has 10,500 miles on it. I gotta get that looked at.

I caught a grind from 1st to 2nd once when I was coming out of a toll booth around 5k rpm also. I almost **** a brick at first, but it hasn't happened again. I guess I'll keep an eye out on this as well now.
