2 - go to the dealer as the TSB states to get an oil consumption test initiated
3 - per the TSB if results of the 1,000 mile OC test indicate a drop on your dip stick of 4mm then you win a new engine
It's just that simple - problem is some of these new motors (what we call the V2) will also consume.

Nissan has put me through the ringer and I can hear the bell for the next round. I'm not going to take the beating anymore. No more rollercoaster ride for me. I know what's at the end of this ride. I'm getting off (buyback). No more motors, no more OC tests, no more checking the dip stick. Good bye - I'm signing off. You all are a great group!
Thanks ZForce, 9k, and everyone else who contributed so far. I hope everyone gets resolution they are seeking. For me there is no resolution when Nissan doesn't have a fixed motor and its been 3 years - and they admit there is no V3 coming.

just to let you guys know Nissan has finally agreed to replace my engine, it took 1 week for the Better Business Bureau to get a response from them and this will be attempt #1 from the factory to resolve the issue. It's funny though that after several OC tests it took a case from the BBB to get them moving. I am supposed to get a call in a week or 2 to schedule an appointment to have the engine replaced. Hopefully this will resolve the problem.

Unfortunately you have to keep on the dealership, BBB will ask you for all current documentation of the problem. If they can not see a valid problem on paper then they will have a hard time getting Nissan to respond. I have a paper trail from all of last year and Dec 06, 6months after I purchased the car. All of documentation from the dealer has a paragraph on "Customer thinks engine is consuming excess oil..blah blah blib", they need to see that you have brought it to there attention several times. My OC tests proved that there was a problem but they still are "well we need to test this and that..". I just finally got fed up and said F U Better Business Bureau time.
I hope this helps clear up the mess a bit.

When dealer checked at 1100mi they said I was at full and showed me...BS!! That's okay...I'll play their game and see where I'm at next visit. I requested test to continue. I also have a UOA on my oil from 20K-25K on VQ that proves blow-by and fuel dilute. Saving that doc for 3rd party documentation if needed. My G35 will not leave my sight next time it sits for drain back time and then they check level. No expiration time on TSB, so if I can be patient longer, I could try OC test again at a later time with a different more honest dealer. But my patience is very thin these days and tired of this OC issue since Jan 06 when bought new.
I see the paper trail this current dealer is trying to create too, officially having no OC issues So sad some of these dealers
Appreciate your response and insite. Thanks again

my settlement check showed up. Going back to the s2000. The Z put a bad taste in my mouth and made me wish I never sold my previous vortech s2000.
Not any s2000...this one...

After a quick glance at the spread sheet on page 1 there are approximately 12 members still pending results with their V2, any of you still pending have any new news to report in?
Looking over that chart I see there are more success stories with the V2 then there are failures.

Folks don't count on the V2 stats - the jury is still out and we are just 2 of the many who are seeing OC early on. The V2 is not a fix and there's no V3 in the works according to NNA. I would consider buyback before its too late and your vehicle consumes at 32k or 64k and becomes a gross poluter.
