Glad things worked out for you OP. Not really the news us new guys wanted to read. Preventive maintenance can only do so much... I'm going to be optimistic
Regarding Nissan and the ridiculous comment. Nissan isn't any better... They didn't bother helping any of the 08 GTR owners with blown trans. Many of the early 350z's had trans issues and oil consumption problems. Many owners had to turn to the BBB and legal assistance like the OP. Information and rants can be found on GTRlife and my350z.
