3) RBlover - see above
4) 4Shizzil - appears to be complete success!!!
5) Zmaximus - still consuming
6) Antennahead - still pending

If you are losing a large-enough amount a few thousand miles from now, only then will you have a valid cause for concern.

just give her a good break in, my last test using 0w40 synth will be my determining test. 75 dollars for that oil change so better be worth it lmao. Good luck guys, the more we knew about everything the better off we will be to solve this issue.
I was thinking wouldnt it suck to lemon the car and recieve another oil consumption Z lmao. THat wouldve been tourture lol. Probably wouldve gotten a 07 actaully. lol good luck and post updates.
Oh DB no prob man, did u switch to synth yet. Try 0w40 mobile 1 or 0w30 amsoil amazing oils so far in the vq35de and vq35der
ONE MORE THING WHEN THERE CHANGING THE OIL MAKE SURE THEY CHANGE THE Fccccking filter. I went to a place where i seen some shady **** where they charged him for the oil change poor sap didnt know about cars it seems and they changed the oil and left the old oil filter on. That sucks....dont be taken aswell. I usually ask for my old one then throw it out. Im from NYC before i came to florida this is a common tactic. Also....you guys cars are fairly new do not let them get u for clearning ur throttle body or cleaning the injectors. lata brothas lol
I actaully wanna see some revups make power so hopefully we all get finished with it and start our own thread of revups reaching 300 rwhp or modded out man. Since our engine is preety limited as is.

I'm actually experiencing the oil consumption issue now. Getting ready to take it to the dealer to go through all of this also. If I hear anything different I'll be sure to post here.
No doubt about this. I know a very shady shop here in the Dumfries, VA area (Total Auto Repair & Motorsports) that does that very thing. He actually uses a sharpie and puts a line on the filter. When you have two lines (meaning you've done two oil changes) then he changes your filter. Of course he charges you for a filter each time.

All engine parts from what i know are not being supplied from new mexico but a plant in japan. Ima check the part numbers.
so far all parts look like they come from and are built in Iwaki, Japan , none of which are made or supplied by newmexico. The reworked piston and rings are the result of handbuilt engines preassmbled there and shipped here in a small number since the oil issue isnt a issue that all revup owners or S1 owners have , since the s1 and the revup are basically the same setup.

He says Nissan NA doesn't want to keep replacing bad motors with other bad motors. They're waiting until a permanent fix can be found.

FYI my engine was one of the lucky handbuilt ones from accross the pond.
Using Penzoil Platinum Full Syn Blend now.....cross your fingers!

One thing i was told was to make sure that ur engine isnt a rebuild revup . because the issue will just reoccur most def. But to make sure its the V2 or the handbuilt version. U can also tell by the part numbers im told and by the bolts being silver not bronze from what my corporate rep at nissan descirbed. My engine came from japan to newyork shipped from there directly to univeral nissan in florida after making stops at jacksonville from what the manifest was told to me. None of which was ever mentioned nor described as anything given to them or made in the US for the fix for these engines.Since the problem is often replicated in just replacing a revup with a none v2 revup. They have word not to swap engine for engine, since delears are eager to do so because its almost a 10k job in this situation. To order these limted engines that are limited in supply there is actually a waiting list. I actually waited a month for mine ....and acutally knew when dbais engine came in because they told me 2 engines where shipped to florida but coming in from different ports.

....about the whole silver bolts vs bronze bolts thing, does anyone know if its true? i dont remember the color of the bolts from the first motor, and when i looked at the v2 i got its a mix of a bunch of silver ones and bronze ones...

Hey guys! Out of the country at the moment and justed on for a moment. I saw the list and have to say that I haven't had enough time to evaluate yet.
I will be back in the States next Tuesday and will put some miles on.

Checked the Oil this morning. It was low. went to Infiniti. They checked it. It was low. They kept it to do compression test. IT FAILED> 180ish in 4 cylinders and 160ish in 2 of them. He said should be 190 across all 6. So they contacted Infiniti about replacing it.
The good news is there is a Version 2 of the Reved_Up motor which is what I will get.
This is on an 06 G35coupe 6mt with 9300 miles

Well, here's my update on my new V2 engine: Good and Bad:
Currently have 498 miles on the engine, no loss of oil, still 1/4 under H line on (wonderfully engineered) oil stick. - Good news
Took the Z to 140 mph last night on the way to the office. Checked this morning oil still good!! - Good news
BMW (w/ a passenger) passed me up (twice) like I was standing still @ 140!! What the f@#*!!! - Bad News!!
Life passes you by fast, a BMW even faster!!!
