Thanks John for responding to the Dyson Q's.
Nismospeed4Life, here is the link to Dyson pricing.

For the sample draw, follow Balckstones procedure:

Only follow the first paragraph and #1. For the rest you will need to follow Dyson's instructions when they send you the sample kit. Its best to emailo Terry Dyson before hand and give him your history of car and engine.

(06CPV35) John has spent just as much time on this thread (if not more) and also did double work by contributing to the G35 OC thread. He helped on this thread with page 1, started a engine break in stats lists. He continued to provide support in my absence for the last 8 months. Is a wealth of information. Props to John!
Nismospeed4Life, you have been here the longest, along with luvZcar, antennahead, 06CPV35 (John) and myself (not much input anymore, will jump in occasionally). Sorry if I forgot anyone, my eyes are getting foggy as time creeps up on me.....lol. Someday we will put to rest this thread and close it down. Its got to be in the all time top ten most viewed and posted to. In 20 years will there be any 06 rev-up on the road? Or will it find its resting space in the mothball yard? Only time will tell. Maybe a reunion in 20 years for those still runiing.
I really like the 09 370z and may just trade up to the 2010 model year.

Hey Hey John, good to hear from you, and that the OC has reversed itself. I too have been sitting on a mod (plenum spacer) to install for over a year now. I think I am going to just do it.

Thanks for the guarantee there Curtis! However, your word is Gold with me. So, based on that I will go with Dyson. (Unless you are a Dyson spokesman)
Just kidding... However, I do know exactly what you guys mean on holding on mods before you know wether she (The Z) would ever stop bleeding.
Curtis, Idont know wether you read one of my previous post in wich I mention about how my OC is going this time around. I was wondering to know if is looking better due to the fact that I am still in the break-in period. My V2 has now 1,455 miles and it has only consumed 3MM as supposed to 12MM at 1000 miles with the V1.
What do you think?

NP...And I'll add that I was sent two kits first time. One pre-paid for analysis and one spare non-paid kit to have on hand for next time. In fact, another spare 'free' kit showed up in the mail yesterday from my most recent paid sample sent in.

And for the sake of not sounding conceded, always wondered if my grass root rebellion threads way before the TSB releases to get all Z and G OC owners to file complaints to the NHTSA about their OC, had something to do with the TSB release who knows. Maybe the NHTSA inquired with NNA on what hell is going on here with all the owner filed OC complaints....hence TSB finally admitting there's an issue. No matter, what matters is TSB was finally released, making it much easier to qualify for warranty replacements. (stepping off soap box

I haven't posted much lately, but I still come here EVERY day to read the latest posts, it's on my "online to do list daily" smiles. I am right at 3500 miles since the last oil change, and I'm going to check tomorrow to see just how much I have used since the last fill up. The trend reversed itself for me last time, using right at a full quart in 4000 miles. I am hoping for less this change. I would like to do a few mods, stereo, new wheels, but holding out to make sure I keep her ![Smilie](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Here you on not modding yet. I've been waiting since 1-2006 to mod my VQ

Be aware that you might start using some as the oil gets older. With normal fuel dilute from continuing break-in and still assembly lubes in there, it breaks down the oil and starts to use more as the miles continue. 1500mi mark seems to be the starting point of most oils that start breaking down on V2's still in it's long break-in period.
Keep an eye on it.
1455 on V2, but same miles on oil?

It's normal to have those in any fresh built engine. Is it bad...what I mentioned before below....
And I'll add, it breaks down the oil quicker compared to an engine with no assembly lubes left in it.
That's one reason why I changed mine so often in the beginning...

Good to hear OC has reversed. Mine increased this last interval, but I romped a lot too. Hopefully mine will turn back to less OC and continue that trend like yours. My recent UOA is stellar showing things are excellent, which gives me much positive confidence under Dyson's guidance.
Here you on not modding yet. I've been waiting since 1-2006 to mod my VQ
I'm close to a winner I think and then finally mod.

^ Oh man...am sorry to hear what your OC increased to. That wouldn't be ok in my book either. I've thought as well these being pushed too far long ago, hence the birth of the HR block/heads. However, there are ones of ours with no OC, know one personally. Try a UOA to see what's up internally and possibly reverse that trend, just a thought before you throw in the towel.
