Anybody having engine problems yet or has heard of??

Or you could simply have asked a mod to change the title.

Middlehurst and the other HPC's (and maybe a bit of help from GTROC) should get hold of Nissan and agree that a y pipe can be fitted without fear of warranty troubles. Most are fitted to sort out the lack of noise, not for power. The power increase is very marginal anyway. Why wait till something goes wrong. We need our HPC's to be a bit more proactive and stop all this nonsense.

I hope Nissan sort this out or I will be selling the R35 and buying an R34 - this way I will warrant my car with my cheque book.

I spoke to Nissan Europe about this yesterday. They are investigating the issue and associated events and are in discussions with the NHPC and Nissan Germany to make sure this is investigated before responding

John,thats really the first good news i hear about this.........

If there is a problem(like i think),then the best Nissan can do is stand to it and say,yes,we got a problem,we know from it and we will do all that is possible to solve it......

Funniest thing I've read in ages!

So fitting a Y-pipe will invalidate the warranty on the AC and stereo will it? What about the central locking and steering? An exhaust mod is bound to blow those up!

I have posted a probable cause here -
Anybody having engine problems yet or has heard of??

What concerns me is that now MH are saying a y pipe will invalidate the warranty.
I thought they were the ones saying not to worry!!!

I am also concerned about the way 3 cars out of perhaps 1-2000 have had engine trouble (one a press car, one which was tuned and one seemingly not,) and suddenly there is an "engine problem."
What a load of tosh. Cmon guys this is not the daily mail. Quite a few owners have been tracking their cars already and we are not seeing the car falling apart.
We are also not seeing owners desert the brand in countries where the car has been on sale already. for over a year
again it would be nice to see Nissan clarify things as they kind of did before.
however its not rocket science that if you start tuning your car, you will lose your warranty.
Also people are saying that the tuning could not have caused the engine problem...
How exactly can anyone be sure of that? That is virtually impossible to tell.

Its a lot more then just 3 cars....all with the same failure,nearly all of them have been stock

Most other dealers have always said Y-pipe invalidates warranty, as thats what's written in the manual.

Of course if MH are offering to warranty it themselves thats a different story. I suspect they had just planned to replace the stock pipe before making any claims in the event of problems.

It's clearly a situation where some common sense can be applied.
