RevUp Oil Consumption TSB and discussion

Yes it does thank you. I'm a vet to this issue 2+ yrs. Work orders showing 'customer states' etc. Now that TSB released I qualify for replacement with 2+ years of self monitoring and started official OC test. Never started test back then bc I was never 1qt/1000mi or worse. I was 6-8mm down at 950mi, which is less consumption than normal since dealer changed oil and knew to start testing...hmmm. I have suspicions around that additionally. Past 2yrs at 1K, I'd be 8-10mm down. At 2300-2600mi, 24mm down.
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

NO problemo dude, I hope all goes well. I believe you should have gone through BBB route awhile back ago, they take age/milage etc at the time that they open up the case but best of luck man. Ill post more info as I get the engine swap.

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.

hey guys ive got oil consumption on my 2006 but not sure if it meets the criteria just yet. Ive only got 18000km on it so far. But in the event that i do get my engine replaced i have a few questions.
what is the V2 engine? is it the 2007 engine with dual intakes?
On average how long did it take the dealers replace your engines? And are you satisfied with the installation? Just worried about a hack installation job!

**** man just got my car back from WCN and i hate my car even more.. i waited almost 40 minutes to get my car. i left my intake on since its jwt intake and they put that back on like shiet. all the hose connected to the engine shows its been tempered with (atleast put it back the way it was). i got off the free way and as i was turning the rear of the car sounded like something was falling apart. imma drive this Z for this year and sell it or something. hopefully my new engine will burn oil so i can do lemon law.
cliff note
engine is dirty and reinstall is
intake is not fit in correctly
rear makes noise
the shift gears feel wack

With all these unsuccesful v2 replacement engines being put in I have decided to not to do anything as of yet since mine is a "lower" consumer...about 1.5qts per oil change....Curious if I just keep the oil level full and the consumtion stays the same what if any damage will occur to the engine???.....

I can't say it enough but folks need to buyback - this V2 is not a fix. We should all sue Nissan - this is rediculous.

Zpimp I sent you a PM
I agree Nissan/Infiniti need to just admit that there is no fix yet. I was thinking while I was sitting at the dealership for the my car. Is Infiniti telling the people that bring there cars in for oil changes that there could be a problem with oil consumption? What about all of the people that just drive the car and its burning oil, they are going to be left out to dry by N/I after the warranty period is up.
I feel sorry for those people.

It really is a lemon now with the V2 being a failure and no V3 in the works and we should treat it as a lemon.
Word needs to get out so others don't get doopted/jipped/ripped off/etc..
Word is out. There's just nothing we can do.
I'm taking my V2 engine. Because i think it will fix it? Nope. Because they agreed to install my aftermarket clutch/flywheel at the same time for free. I have zero interest in Nissan's POS engines. I'll build it next year and be done with it.
They can't build one. I'll do it myself.
