He was already black listed from previous mods. I’ll put virtually any amount of money that he ran low on oil and that caused the failure, not the mods. Those blocks are extremely stout. ---

Those blocks are extremely stout. I was thinking it might be something like that These motors are hand built and I assume they do that so that the tolerances and stuff are spot on. ---

They aren’t actually hand built, but sure. It’s also a closed deck block and will take a shit ton more power than they put out stock. The one I drove through NYC is putting out around 600whp now. ---

Everyone knows it doesn’t take a shit ton worth of power to blow a motor, any idiot with a crappy tune can do it on a relatively stock motor. :cough:goggle:cough: ---

If that was my car I’d claim it stolen. 36K isn’t that unreasonable for what it is I guess. I highly doubt there was any design failure to this problem. I don’t have any particular liking or disliking to this car but I blame the owner 100% not Nissan. If a guy had a pullie tune long tubes and injectors on a ZR1 and it broke would you blaim GM? ---
