my dealer is telling me that the car *should* be ready next friday. honestly, though, I'm not holding my breath.
funny story, the day my engine blew, a customer service rep for infiniti inner circle just happened to call me. the call was was a follow-up, random call unrelated to the earlier tow I had gotten by using inner circle roadside assistance. I was pissed already, and I gave the guy an absolute earful. I'm sure he was caught totally off guard because most infiniti customers at 3k have nothing but great things to say! I regret it just a little bit.
anyway, I will keep everyone posted when I know more
cheers

I just talked to my friend like a week ago who is working as car mechanic for Infiniti and he told me that they received a letter from corporate that there is a defect in some bottom part of the engine (2008) and probably there will be a recall for it.. Don't know too much about cars so I'm not sure about what part was he talking about but he said that it's gonna cost Infiniti really a lot of money..

Why was your car towed earlier?

my car was towed due to the engine blowing...
well I got my car back about two weeks ago. since then I've put about 750 miles on it. The new engine seems fine, it runs well, although it is idling lower than my other engine. Idles about 6-700 rpms now, the other I know was higher. Hope that's nothing.
Anyway, now that I have my x back, I'm loving the gemini catback. I'm also lowered on eibachs and it looks hot. I guess we'll never know what caused my engine to fail. Service advisor tells me he thinks a bearing might have failed, but no one knows for sure... except the suits at infiniti HQ and they're not saying a damn thing!
Thanks all for your replies, but where's the pacific NW G community??? I'd love to see some of your rides in person!
