Hey great story. That was almost the same thing what happened to me. The guy
in the bimmer flik me off and took off so I was like wtf and that's when it
all started.
They said it's not your friend's fault and it took 3weeks to fix? How did
your friend present the case to the dealer? I brought it in yesterday and
and the guy seemed pretty nice and reasonable. He saw my intake and he said
I would only have to pay if the problem was related to the intake. Deeming
him pretty reasonable, I just told him I misshifted into second and he was
just like hmm.
Yeah I think they should have some kinda prevention mechanism to disable
shifting in certain gears above certain speeds like how they have it for
reverse and first gear. I don't even know how the hell my engine blew so
easily. I don't even think I went all the way into gear and it just wroom
and stalled. It was under 1sec of time.
I was told even on a ga16, someone downshifted to second at 85 and nothing
happened. Aren't SR20s supposed to be stronger since they have a higher
redline or is it just my car?
PS If you just want to give your personal wiseass remarks, PLEASE EMAIL ME
PRIVATELY AND STOP FLAMING THE LIST.
> Well, my friend & some other friends with him was drivin home at night on
the freeway, all nice & serene, when some drunk @$$-holes started to throw
beer bottles at his new car yelling if he wanted to race or sumthin,(i think
the other car was like a grand prix, grand am, I dunno sumthin like that).
When my friend refused, they started to flip him off, curse him out, then
proceed to yell deragatory remarks about his ethnicity. Then, they just cut
him off and swirve in front of him to piss him off. He told me he just
wanted to smoke them on the freeway (since his top speed is 148mph, his
speedometer says 160mph) He downshifted from 5th to 4th slowing down more so
he could go ahead & pop it into 3rd since this is where he gets the most
power & speed from. Only problem is the gear goes in to 1st. The car
redlines all the way to 10,000rmp's for about 4-5 secs. Car starts to loose
speed & desperately try to breathe & gasp for air as it wants to die out.
With the car last streng!

the mishift wasn't his fault in way.
> Notice I said that IN A WAY. I wasn't there so I don't know what exactly
happend. Plus, I researched his car alot for parts and upgrades & found
just one fault. He knows alot about cars, I just know specs what new,old, or
parts are available for cars & what parts make more performance &
horsepower. He is skilled in how to fix them mechanic wise, custom homemade
aftermarket performance stuff, secret engine stuff I don't know. He
had(stripped to stock now) this badass black four-door B-13 sentra all
tricked out & everything, I'll see if I could scan some pics for you all to
glance. He loves nissan as much as me, even more. He is the one who
converted me to the nissan world. I learned mostly specs, how Toyota's
VVT-Li works, the world of TRD. I had warned him about a problem that new
celica had just about a month and a half before that shiz happend to him. &
not just the celica has this but also the the S2000. The transmission on
both of these cars cause a mishift due to spri!

happen. Well, this is my two cents. I myself love the GT-S & think it kicks
ass.
