V2 and mod timeline
My V2...
500 Miles, did an oil change, put in non synth 5w30
now 800 Miles, so far so good. There is some oil in the catch can.
My headers, metal cats and FI exhaust stayed on during the motor swap. I luv my dealership
The motor runs so smooth; I've started revving a bit higher 5k for short bursts puts a huge grin on my face.
How long should I wait before I bolt back on my Motordyne Mrev, Ztube, K&N?
Thanks

Do you post in a Cancer patients thread about your quality of life as a non cancer victim?

My 350Z was returned today under California Lemon Law, and they handed me my check. I dealt directly with NNA and didn't need a lemon law attorney. Three motors failed OC.
No more Nissans for me. I bought an 07 Corvette
. Good luck everyone

. Ever try to send a yellow contract form via fax? Everything turns out gray. I don't want to think how many calls I made, but at least it is over now.That is an awesome suggestion on the sig
I am using it.Any other year 350Z and I am sure it would still be in my garage.

Just got my V2 replacement 50 miles ago. Some others have mentioned it before, but it runs much smoother than the original. I also notice that on acceleration to highway speeds, there is a faint whine, which I didn't have before.
The scary part is I noticed a faint burning oil smell when I first got her home. I had this prior to the swap. I hope it's just leftover from the original.

Now what do I do
Just checked my oil. I am coming up on my 3rd oil change on the V2. The oil level is just below the "L" on the dipstick. This is an increase in consumption. The first oil change was about a half quart down, the second about 2/3 quart down, and now, about 3600 miles since the last oil change, I am just over a quart down. Go buyback? I don't think from what I've read that a 3rd V2 will solve this. It seems to be hit or miss on getting an engine that doesn't use oil. This really sucks, as I was ready to put aftermarket wheels on the car, as well as upgrade the stereo system. This is disgusting

PS, I upgraded the car instead of wheels and radio. I got an 07 Vette.

Now Nissan has the car back per California Lemon Law, and it will be in auction soon. If you see a LS 06 base 350Z in auction, maybe it was my former baby
