Message	i took my z to the nissan dealership today because it had a few odd noises i wanted sorted out, and i wanted them to just check everything out and tell me if there was anything "not right" with the car. well they tell me the noise ive been hearing is the heat sheild around my exhaust pipes and i should remove it....which is funny because all the exhaust piping is aftermarket and theres no heat sheild around any of it... next i ask them to check the timing, i had a bad cas code from the ecu, replaced the cas and checked the timing but my timing light is cheap, i wanted to be sure. they said "you dont need to check it, the cas automatically sorts that out"....ok....next i have a hose thats been cut and isnt hooked up to anything, i ask them if they know where it goes. they say "its a coolant line for the intercooler, what year is this" i say 92, "well yeah its a coolant line for the intercooler, if it was a 90 id say no because they didnt come with intercoolers till 1991"....needless to say i grabbed my keys and ran for my life!!
