Own a 2005 350z 35 yr. anniversary model with 6 speed up here in Canada. Had 85,000 km's when I bought it last year and now at 100,000 km's I am consuming a qt. of oil every 125 miles. Nissan has offered to supply a short block and I pay for everything else. I'm not anything close to resembling a mechanic and was wondering what others have done under these circumstances. I'm not a fan of used engines for obvious reasons and I'm wondering if I would be better served by having my engine re-manufactured?
This has been such a disappointment and looking for a solution. Thanks.

Came here hoping to see a burnout. now im depressed. I don't know what to tell you about the 350, but the 00-02 celica was notorious for burning oil. For us, there was no way to fix it, a new motor has to be purchased. If you buy a used motor through Nissan, it should be certified and come with a warranty. I bought my 03 celica engine through Nissan, and my uncle (who is th master tech there), swapped it for me and they gave me a 1 year warranty. Over one year, no problems.

i was also hoping for a burnout haha but i heard the 05 g's had a notorious oil burning problem and since they are both the same platform and engine im guessing its probably normal

Get rid of it and upgrade to 07/08 HR platform. 05 seems too old to put anything into it unless your tracking/racing.

A quart every hundred miles?? Jesus christ is your drain plug tight?

Yeah..I would definitely check for a leak. A quart every hundred miles is a **** ton.

You're thinking of the 2006 Rev-Up engine although some 2005's came with it. There are oil consumption issues associated with these engines for sure.

2005 anniversary MT's had rev-up oil consumption. 2005 anniversary AT's had the traditional non-revup.

I thought the rev up started in 07?

Why exactly is '05 too old?

Just to let you know, this is not my350zHR.com.

I came here to see a burn out, y u no do burnout?

Corrected ^

its not, but some people are biased because the HR is a very good redesign on a very good car to being with. Best mod between the two is Driver mod, that will eliminate any differences on the track.


we got duped.
