what happens when you go to a Nissan dealer. : To this weekend, my rear main seal has blown THREE TIMES, all replaced by Webb's Garage. This makes me think that there's something else wrong... like there's too much oil in the engine or your PCV valves are clogged. How much oil do they put in when they change everything? : Here is a list of stuff wrong with my Z
: Oil leak 1 - Left bank, passenger side seal (under plenium?) is leaking. $1010.50
: Oil Leak 2 - Rear main seal (this would be 4th time replacing) Clutch probably damaged, needs new clutch. $788
: Shifter bushings improperly installed, new ones installed $117 (This is probably high, since the parts are only about $4 and can be installed at time of transmission drop) So, to put in a new clutch ($400), rear seal ($20?), and shifter bushings ($4)... it would be less than $500 in parts, plus labor (which would be $0 if you want to attempt to do it yourself... not that hard at all). : Both mufflers rusted out and bottom is totally gone (really loud =) - $379.99 each for nissan ones, but I'd buy aftermarket. yeah, when stock parts go bad, that's the perfect excuse to buy performance ones! : $646.46 if timing belt/water pump are bad and never replaced when Webb's Garage did it. Whoa... that seems kind of high... timing belt replacement at the Nissan dealerships around here are only about $300 including the water pump.
: $156 - Clutch slave cylinder leaking
$156!?! are you kidding me? the part costs $30 and it takes 1/2 hour of labor... if you have a 14mm wrench, you can easily do it yourself.
: Tension bars gone $271.00
you can just replace the bushings (if that's what your problem is)... get the energy suspension ones. OR, you can get aftermarket tension rods for like $200... again, do it yourself... just 3 bolts. sorry to hear about all of your troubles... good luck... we're all here to help you if you decide to do some of the labor yourself.
