Rather than crying foul over some kind of conspiracy, at least give the guy the benefit of the doubt that he looked over your post and forgot to take your experience into consideration.
The V2 is working for some people. It is not working for others. By taking down the data of what engines people are getting (and possibly breaking them in) we may be able to find out if there's a driver-related issue that's contributing to the new engine's failure.

There's comments about our sources being BS. Fine whatever. There's actually been two posts here that indirectly discloses those sources. But as public forums go and opinions with them, it's been mentioned that my opinion is of no value. Fine, opinions are like A-holes...everybody has one.
To those members who remind me of spoiled children stomping their feet and whining bc Mommy won't give them their candy, I'll repeat what I said a long time ago....UOA is your friend...and also in this thread is mention who to use. Search for it.
Now back to what I get paid for..................
-edit-
Joe...good point and thanks for helping ZeeForce with posting that.

Couple of points -
A – I PM’d ZeeForce my original stats on Feb 8, 2008 – please look at the list on page 1 for the date to confirm
B – I never said that I was not consuming, mine is still pending – the first 500 miles I was down ½ quart but I look at that as a new (dry) engine and the dealership probably only put 5 quarts in rather than the 5 ¾ quarts that they were suppose to use.
C – Again take a look at the list on page 1 – stats for the cars --- there is a mixture of “OK” and “No Good” but in most cases even if the chart says “OK” the status is “Still Pending” – So there is not a firm theory of is it “Good” of “No Good”
Sometimes in life you have to take the initiative to do something, it is a part of growing up…….So PM your stats to ZeeForce.
ZeeForce a lot of us really appreciate you taking your personal time to compile all of this information. I would personally like to say “Thank you” to ZeeForce….

I'm 62 years old and not a baby but you can add me to the V2 no good stat.
Just got back from the dealer 1,000 mile test and it consumed one full quart!
What are my options - other than stomping feet? I frustrated that there is no V3 which is what the service manager told me point blank.

tamdihugs77, you got mail.
I saw Z-Track and cheshirecat79 back to back posts of new engines and it was a quick hit on the template pm.
The last member I pm’d in chronological order of postings was: jason350z:
I still to need to send pm’s out to:
GATORZ
Mgnchakar
Wholey Smokes
350zxtaz
Wynd d z33
JoeyFyed
Myladyz33
myZter
ZPimp….oh yeh, he also got his pm, out of chronological order too….last week… any response??…No.….so foadb, regarding your comment as being biased…… as his consumed oil, as fast as oil spewing out of Jed Clampets back yard…..and he then went buy back. I knew this upfront from his postings. Did that stop me from sending out a pm to him and ready to add him to the stats list? …No… Biased …my ***…
MasterRacer
imseksy
Zsilverstone13
This is as far on the list that I have jotted names down for, like I said I have about mid January forward to catch up on.
cheshirecat79, joe blow xbox, 06CPV35, Z-Track. ….Thanks guys for chiming in.
Well there goes another night of not sending out any pm’s on install stats, due to…..
Cheers
-Curtis

I will disregard the first sentence of your last post, as you are probably a really nice person, and not the type to make assumptions/guesses about someone on your second post.
I saw your first post ^^ and would have pm’d you in chronological order after catching up from the members that have posted receipt of new engines in mid January, onward to the present day. As I stated above I am meticulous in trolling the thread for new installee’s, and would have not missed your post when the time came to catch up to current day posts. You could have always grabbed the template from the first page and pm’d me, or waited until I sent you a pm with the definitions of the stats data and how to fill it out.
Welcome to the thread …you got mail.
Cheers

For the Stats Man -
Status: No Good
Oil Consumption: 20mm
Engine Install Date: Oct 2007
Engine part number: 10102-AC7MZ
Mileage on Engine: 7,4200
Mileage on current oil change interval: 2,200
Oil Type/Brand/Weight: dealer oil (don’t know)
There is an incorrect assertion on the instructions that the dipstick between L and H is 1 quart. It’s actually holds more than a quart between L and H.
I also don’t see “No Good” as an option on the list. Only
(1) So Far So Good – Still Pending
(2) Some OC – Still Pending
(3) Still Pending
(4) Still Consuming
(5) Success
This does not give those of us have a “no good” motor an option and many will state “still consuming”. Still consuming doesn’t make sense to me. It is either within the TSB or no good (time to replace the motor).
I’m also frustrated that the dealer says there are no V3s. There are a lot of people on the stats list with a “no good” and either have to sell or buy back I assume unless they want to chance it again with another V2. Is that correct?

I agree with stormidoor…
There needs to be an option for “no good”
Here are my stats –
Status: No good (buyback)
Oil Consumption: 15-18mm
Engine Install Date: Early September 2007
Engine part number: 10102-AC7MZ
Mileage on Engine: 8,700
Mileage on current oil change interval: 2,000
Oil Type/Brand/Weight: standard 5/30
I don’t appreciate the “baby” comments. I’m not a baby either. I’m 52 years old and a female btw.
Some of you like to hit the “ignore” button when you don’t like what some else has to say about the truth and that is the V2 is a failure. Good luck yall who decide to keep this piece of crap.

hey im sorry to hear that, ...but not all are failures my friend has a revup also with no oil consumption. But hes not active on these boards only for purcahsing mods but we did testing on his aswell and he has a V1!!!!!!. So far so good with my v2 thank god maybey the district attorneys comments on my situation to nissan directly got me a good motor lmao. It pays to know people all im saying lol!!.
BUt im down for a oil test ..it would also help me understand why 0w40 showed so much good results via resoulte in this engine. And when i road race give me a idea of how this weight is performing so far this oil is showing good stuff but , honeslty its really the engine just performing to as expected to tell the truth. One thing is for certain the v-2 def performed better then my v1 in tests with my friends HR being alot closer in races and even swtiching drivers ...preety odd if you ask me or is it do to no damaged in the engine with this one caused by oil depravation ...the world may never know.

Oooo I don't know how the DA's comments will get you a better V2. I think they're all the same. Same part number anyway. I wouldn't trust the V2. Lot of folk here have failures. You better get a lifetime warranty! lol
