My testing started before TSB release, so I had to pay for oil/filter service to start testing regardless of level when my test started.

For those of us who have the V2 installed, has anyone been able to do a stock dyno run on it yet?
Would still be nice to see stock hp/tq from the V1 and the V2 with no bolt-ons, because it is definetly different.

what do I know...I just know I beat on my car daily....after the new engine I waited 490 miles just for leaks and bad install possibilities...then it was off to the races...havent dropped a tear of oil yet!
even though my car is OK I still have a hard time with the lack of MASSIVE RECALL from Infiniti....they can always use the old blocks to make 37s or test motors for engineering water pumps, oil pumps or many other things they screw up on.

Just started my OC test today. the dealer actually scratched a line where the oil was at so they had a starting point. The service adviser told me that I shouldn't check my oil. I said "ok" when I really meant "yeah, right".
I am the kind of person who likes to keep an eye on things... especially when i know there is potential for a problem.

Sooo anyone hear about V2's being refurbished motors?
I went back to my dealer today since the service manager didnt call me to see what they were going to do since my V2 failed the OC test. Turns out the manager got fired for some crap. Well the new guy in charge told me the motor that was put in my car was refurbished even though it clearly states in my paper work its a V2.
Hes like "yea the motor that was put in there was a refurbished engine rebuilt to factory Nissan specs"
So yea I wasnt too happy hearing that it wasnt a brand spankin new engine put into my car. Plus the fact that they messed up the OC work order from 2 weeks ago and I gotta do ANOTHER OC test.
Going to call NNA later today and see how theyre gonna handle this situation because im pretty tired of it all already.

Thats what I was thinking. I mean the guy didnt have to say all that. He could of just lied to me and said "yea these motors are brand new from Nissan"
But I ask him if he was sure and he was positive the were refurbished.
So rebuilt V1 with new internals and PCV valve and then restamp it with a new part# = V2...Hmmm...

Always wished I had the source to cross ref mine to see if it belonged to a different registered VIN or find it's past history. Probably never know who owned it before me...oh well it is what it is.
Heard from a little master mech birdie that they did something to the valve stem seals in addition with what you mentioned

They don't stamp the pt #. There is an unique engine # on each V2 tho. Took pictures of my # on block before swap and can confirm it's not the part # for these V2's. Plus no evidence of filled/grinded/etc with new number stamped. My paperwork listed both generic part and my unique engine # which matched my photo.

This is what the head mechanic at my dealership said. Supposedly the regional rep told him that the problem was the valve stem seals. I have one of the early V2s, and I am not sure if this change to the valve stem seals was done on the early ones. Mine has still been using some oil.

So I called NNA and filed/left a complaint. Theyre like "we cant help you but we can file the complaint if you want". Seemed kinda pointless. But whatever.
I WISH I could afford the 2009 model. Maybe in a few years too lol.
For now I would get a 05/05 and have enough left over for heads, cam and other bolt ons.
