Mossy Nissan refused to advance the timing...
Took my 2K2 into Mossy to complete the recalls. While I was there, I thought I would increase the timing three degree as has been discussed on this board recently. I offered to pay for the hours required for this task, but the rep tried to make me beleive that the dealership was not allowed to change factory settings. I told him that plus or minus 3 degrees was within the spec and asked him to make an exception for me. I also added that other dealships have performed this modification. We got into a "discussion" about it and he kept spewing..liability for us...blah blah...detonation...blah blah...California is strict...blah..blah.
I reminded him that Mossy had a reputation of supporting aftermarket performace upgrades...And he just said....certified parts...blah blah blah...not timing...blah blah.
I also have an annoying rubbing sound in the back when I go over bumps and asked the them to look into it. They of course tried to blame it on the "aftermarket" muffler. I told them that was bullcrap...its coming from the struts. He said the technician didn't notice anything. I was about to drive him and the tech around to prove it to them, but I had another appointment. Never to return.
So anyone who beleives Mossy is different than the other dealers. Think again. Bad service, weak excuses, slow, and inexperienced.
Thanks Mossy.
I feel better now....

Yeah Mike. I have gone to the Escondido dealer 2 times, and they are a bunch of MORONS ! Greg at Oceanside is real cool. He is also an ORG member...
Am I wrong or is advancing the timing on a car easy to do ...?? I did it before on my V8's myself.... How hard is it to do on a Max... ??
