So it looks like my 6MT might be burning oil , and I have a ztube installed (with the stock airbox), do I need to put the G-Tube on before taking it in, or do they not care.

 

Putting stock airbox will do good, but I dont really think they gonna complain about z-tube. If you need stock G-tube for temporary, PM me

 

No. If they give you **** for that, I would raise hell since it's an OEM NISSAN 350Z intake tube

 

if you want to be sure then take it out better no complaint then no engine.

and good luck... OC is a biatch

once u start testing drive the heck outta it

 

I had the same ques a few months ago.
They "shouldn't" give u grief for it, but it all depends on the dealership.
Even though there is no correlation between OC and having a z tube installed I decided to play it safe and put my OEM back on.
I figured it only takes 10 min of my time.

 

I had no problems with the z-tube.

They tried every other thing they could think of to deny the problem but left the z tube alone

 

I can't imagine they'd make that an issue...

I'm currently in a loaner getting my valve covers replaced under warranty, no questions asked. I have a Z tube, MREV2, plenum spacer, high flow cats and exhaust.

 

op, encorecestmoi's dealer tried to deny him of everything else he has.

ur lucky they didnt deny you.
i remember one of the members on here posted about being denied a new engine because he had HKS exhaust.

overall, take off everything that they COULD use against you.

 

just get the service managers name and email corporate a "really nice" letter on how you were treated. Its not like your the only 6mt that is burning oil

 

that is always an option.
but do u really want to wait like MONTHS to get your engine

when u can just walk in with no mods, and get a new engine within a WEEK.

your choice?

 

No. If they blamed the OC on the Z-tube, they would have to admit that a genuine Nissan part was causing oil consumption, and that they are mass-selling it. They wouldn't do that.

 

im just saying, i know they wont do that, but is it really worth the hassle?

 

They may try to claim that the mod(s) was/were for racing purposes therefore the OC is due to abuse. That's some of the crap the dealer pulled against this guy.

thanks for the cold hard facts

 

There's a big difference if it's a Nissan part, vs. an HKS part.
