a customer did not know how to drive and the piston took out a spark plug....

good thing for the warranty but just try not to downshift from 5th to 2nd gear next time whoever this is.

 

Yeah, rev-limiters don't do jack for 5th to 2nd gear downshifts !!

Looks like a case of a loose nut behind the wheel.

 

i raced the kid who's car it is (anonymous) and let's say the ABS really work well and really took his G35 to the limits driving on the shoulder passing cars.

 

^^ not smart to ride the shoulder... an whoever tried downshifting from 5th to 2nd.. try not to do it again

 

I bet he's got all the "The Fast 'N Furious" DVDs too ... LOL!!

 

i bet you vin diesel was in the passenger's seat telling him to do it. what a douche bag. i can't believe they covered it under warranty.

 

Call me stupid, but how does over-revving take out a spark plug? I heard of valve-float, and the pistons taking out the valves, but how does the piston hit the spark plug?

 

thats what i was wondering ^^ ?

 

Simple really. The piston goes up and then goes down. What happens? It's stretches just a tiny bit. Now over rev the engine at speeds that a 5th to 2nd gear change would happen at.....................*dink*

 

hey almost anything is possible now

 

My guess would be a busted piston.

 

I can't believe he got it from 5th to 2nd like that Not easy to do, the syncros and stuff would probably have grinded bad, right? That happened to me one time back in my teens days with my SR20DE, but I was slam shifting from 3rd to 4th and accidentally shifted it into 2nd and BOOM! Not 5th.

 

You said the motor was "blown up". What else was damaged besides the spark plug?

 

He has the special directors cut, also autographed by Vin Diesel with special
commentary by the cast and crew.
"Just f^cking go faster" "downshift a few gears to slow down"
"f^ck it, it's under warranty"

 

Uh, if some metal was that much of of place to take out a spark plug, its pretty much "blown up" im most peoples opinion.
