I bought my 06 from a Nissan dealer who said the motor was new and the problem solved. What they meant was it was solved for Nissan because they knew it would last 12,001 miles for certain and most likely 12 months.
They were right. It took 18k/ 18 months to fail.
I am building an engine with 100% aftermarket rotating parts. From what I have seen the issue is pistons or rings.

hello everyone,
i recently been looking for a 6mt 350z/g35 and found a 2006 350z 6mt 68k miles.
i need some clarity, i called nissan north america and gave them the vin # they said that there is no outstanding recalls for it and i asked them if this car would be affected with oil consumption they said it shouldn't be. then i called a local nissan dealer and had them run the vin # and the said the samething. the 350z was built in September of 2005. anyone has had oil consumption with a september 2005 build??

so i just got off the phone with nissan. they said my claim is suspended because i dont have any service records. the car has 23000 miles so pretty much they want proof that it has been given the 6 oil changes. since i have owned the car i was never really able to give it a "change" it was more of a fill. because every 3000 miles i would lose 3 quarts of oil. so i would buy and fill myself. along with the filter. how am i supposed to win this now?!

Call Nissan USA, say the motor is in warranty and has a known oc issue and demand they take care of it.

Since when is 3750 miles per oil change mandatory otherwise voids warranty? (3750*6= 22500mi). It doesn't!
My 2006 Infiniti maintenance schedule states oil service 7500 miles under normal op conditions. 3750 under severe or 'premium' service schedule. NNA should only be requiring proof of 3 oil services (3*7500= 22500mi).
However proof shouldn't matter at all. Infinities current TSB for same engine same issue (ITB08-002d), talks about oil service records or not on it's flow-chart (pg2). No oil service records on TSB doesn't deny you replacement if it falls into the NG on consumption chart following flow-chart. Not sure what Nissan TSB says, but I would hope it'd be the same flow-chart as Infiniti's.

That is so remarkably unbelievable. Every time I hear that, I can't believe such a corp would turn their backs. I aspire to have a GTR one day, but when you hear such things, it makes you reluctant to buy any of their products, Nissan or Infiniti, whichever. Maybe I've should've bought an Acura or a Lexus.

I like the IS-F, but man, my heart starts racing when I see the GTR....but then all that OC stuff starts reminiscing in my head and I think how Nissan is screwing their customers....sucks man!
