As the title says, I have searched and searched and could not find anything on it. Anyone know details of what it is and what years of cars it comes on?

There are 3 different motors in the 350Z
- 03-05 & 06 autos: VQ35DE (non-revup)
---6600 RPM redline
---287 hp
---274 tq
- 05 Anniv & 06 manuals: VQ35DE (revup)
---7000 RPM redline
---300 hp
---260 tq
- 07-08: VQ35HR
---306 hp
---268 tq

There are other minor differences and attributes that are unique to each motor. Also, keep in mind that the SAE rating was updated for the HR engines.

i have to disagree with you.. first of all anytime someone has a problem they complain.. but when they dont have a problem, they dont get online and post all day about their car being perfect.. pretty much yea theres been people complain, but i assure you theres more people without issues here that just dont mention it than there are with issues.. it just doesnt get mentioned..idk how this issue happened with nissan BUT you cant associate all 06 motors as bad since they all arent...until tested its under speculation for each motor..besides.. its a nissan, did u expect this car to be flawless.. LOL

Yes, unless its the 05 35th anniversary edition

Also, there is a TSB issued which includes all rev up engines between a large range of VIN numbers.

Some people don't check their own oil too. The dealer is not going to tell them their car sucks and have to do the warranty work, but now, in tough times, they're scrambling to get what they can.

can i have a cookie too? we have a few guys and a gal with the 06 rev-up in our crew and none of us have any issues...

Where is that TSB? I have taken my Z in several times to check the oil but it has supposedly not burnt enough to be eligible. I will admit it seems to burn oil much less with Pennzoil full syn than Mobil 1 full syn. Anyway I would like to see if my car is in the vin numbers.

Yes. There are several rev up motors that don't have issues. But it was apparently a ring supplier issue and many rev up motors do have issues. As has been said in INNUMERABLE threads, if you have issues, have a consumption test done and make sure the dealer adds the correct amount of oil before sealing it off for the test. Go back there and make sure it wasn't overfilled.
