lol...

Seriously though, like the rest of these have said, after pushing nitrous what did you expect? The dealer sure isn't going to help pay just for you to play...

 

"....After what you're saying here, maybe you should call it a G35 6MT Limited Compression..."



cereal came through my nose ya basatard

 

ok anyway.........the reason they want to charge me an arm and a leg is because if you look under hood...now everyone who still has one look...theirs a piece of metal called a data plate that data plate matches # to the block in it's self, if i were to a get an engine from the ice cream truck across the street it wouldnt match up thus dropping the value of the car severly, ive been running the nitrouse for a long time now and it could hold alot more but i failed to use cold plugs,see when you run nitrous you need a different temperature rated spark plug thus calling them cold plugs, no i didnt take it to the dealer with the kit on their it was completely off, i have gone to that dealer a million times and out of no were they pop up with, you have nitrous....anyway can everyone post their colors of their g35's, the color of my g35 supposably is really rare and its not seen very often and on the factory sticker itself it says limited ed. but anyway they also want to charge me alot so they can still honor my warrenty

 

sounds like something out of the Fast and the Furiouse baha

seriously, take it to a reputable speed shop, have them tear down the block. Go with a stroker kit, or forged internals and you're still way less than 10k.

 

ok my car is 100% fine to me its just that damn check engie light but when i hook it up to the OBD reader it reads random/multiple cylinder misfires i think its the plugs but w/e what do i know

 

and you think running nitrous is "not" going to drop the value of the car!!??

Please....

 

LMFAO! Homieg35's periodic table is f...ing PRICELESS!!!

 

megamikedv2,

I can tell you're going to take some heat from some of the things you've posted. My favorite quote is probably "they also want to charge me alot so they can still honor my warrenty" but it's hard to decide between that and "it could hold alot more but i failed to use cold plugs, see when you run nitrous you need a different temperature rated spark plug thus calling them cold plugs."

But, since you've presumably solicited advice (I'm assuming that's the point of your post) I'll offer the following:

- Buy a used, undamaged long block from a salvage yard. It'll cost you $1800 to $2000 depending on how many miles are on the engine.

- Find a competent, experienced mechanic and have them swap your long block for the used long block based on an actual hourly rate rather than a book rate.

- Sell your damaged long block to someone on the www.my350z.com Forum who is looking to rebuild an engine. Engine cores are in short supply right now at several of the top rebuilding shops so you might be able to get as much as $1500 for yours.

- This option is MUCH cheaper than having the dealer do the swap and it's MUCH easier than breaking down your engine to see what's wrong.

- Keep the nitrous system off the car! But if you absolutely must boost and you cannot afford a twin turbo system then at the very least you need to find a tuning shop that knows how to retard timing. I'll bet $25 your shop didn't pull any timing and so you had detonation that caused you to bend two rods and lose compression.

That's my $0.02. Take it for what it's worth.

I pretty much agree with Steve^.

Forget about having a numbers-matching car. It's not that relevant unless we're talking classics. Nobody will even look for matching numbers from chassis to engine on this car when you sell it. If they do, big F'n deal. It has a new engine. And any potential decrease in re-sale value isn't going to be nearly as much as the certain difference between spending $10K with the dealer or $5K elsewhere. If you can manage, build up a $5K replacement motor.

I don't agree with Steve on this: If you want to continue spraying nitrous, just prep your engine properly and have the work done by a really good shop. It's your car. But nitrous is so easy to install that nearly any monkey can hook it up and blow their engine. Prep it properly and then see what it can take. We could all benefit from just one person finding out what it takes to spray big on the G35. lol

 

If you're dishonest with the buyer, it isn't that hard to sell a "nirous" car as never having used "nirous".

 

GT-Ron, fair enough but "prepping the engine properly" ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY MUST include timing retard under boost on this engine or you're gonna blow it up a 2nd time as well even if your A/F ratio is in the 11s.

--Steve

 

As long as a car is tuned properly for the shot, you shouldn't have problems running nitrous. But the use will also accelerate engine wear.

 

Steve - And, suffice it to say, you need cold plugs.

And I'm really encouraging someone to do more work on running nitrous on the G to benefit the greater good of the boards here.

 

Duh to make it Go Faster??? I'm running a 100 shot Wet Kit Using NGK plugs 2 steps colder, My A/F ratio is running Rich More safe than running Lean I'm losing a few horses this way.
