there are complety diff ecus it will honeslty not be worth the Swap for anyone time and money wise. If thats what ur lookign at trade in will be ur only bet. The engines and harnesses etc are far to different. But however you can go back to a reg vq35de

I also have oil consumption for my car. I start to notice this at 21k mile. I do my oil change with Moblie 1 every 2k to 2.5k miles. I am currently consuming 4 quarts every 800 miles. I current have a file open with Nissan Corp.
I spoke with a regional rep today and I have asked them this oil consumption issue to be a very big deal and why they are not sending out a letter to all 2006 6mt owner. they basically told me that this is not happening to everyone and this will be handled case by case basis. WTF. I hate my 06.

My V2 break-in update
Finish my 'break-in' road trip. Almost/basically done. I'm at ~ 1140mi and checked oil - down about 1/2 quart during this break in. I want to do another oil change and then monitor the oil from that point. Not passing 4K Revs is irritating!

ZPHILE: Thank you. I currently know 2 owners that have gone thru more than 3 motors and still experiancing the same issue. What do you think the likelyhood would be if I asked them to buy the car back?

Gchoi78, What he said! Car buybacks can be had. Read back several pages in this site (search BOFA) he successfully had his car bought back. But, this is after Nissan attempts fixes first. Your states lemon laws applied as to what a 'fix attempt' is and how many are allowed. BBB Autoline can answer all these questions better than anyone here. G/L!

To answer above - yes I have the 'supposedly hand built motor from Japan'. I say supposedly because in my book Nissan is guilty until proven innocent! This would be considered my first attempt at a oil comsumption fix. The jury is out if it is fixed yet. BTW - thanks for the good words!

dealer said oil consumption related to..
So I checked the oil the other day and it was under the L. I ended up putting almost one quart of oil. This brought the oil level to the middle, right between the L and H.
Took the z to the dealer and I told them that I have read that some of the 06z had oil consumption problems, so they change the oil, put a mark and told me to come back after driving 1000 1,500 miles to see how much oil. They said Nissan gives them parameters as to how much oil consumption is normal.
Now the final thing they said was, well you also have aftermarket cats and the may have something to do with it. “we have found that sometimes the material of aftermarket cats will travel up the headers and affect oil consumption” I though bullshi.t. I mean the air flow goes out so how the hell are parts of the cat travel opposite to exhaust flow.
Am I correct???/
Do HFC cause oil consumption?
What do you guys think?

V2 'installees' update
Known V2 install recipients and their results:
1) Dbasal - maybe not fixed.
2) Theatrix - Still pending - not done w/Break-in
3) RBlover - Done w/Break-in. Post syn oil run will be final result.
4) 4Shizzil - appears to be complete success!!!
5) Zmaximus - still consuming
6) Antennahead - still pending
7) Creationv2 - dont know yet...only 100 miles
8) Hexxum001 - G35 with V2 motor - so far so good
9) ZMedic16 - Still Pending
10)ZLOC06 - 500mi w/no oil loss - but still pending.
11)ZPHILE - 45mi on V2 - still pending
12)luvZcar -5000 miles and still consuming
I saw this list and just wanted you guys to know that with 5w30 it consumed more then with 10w30, so on my next oil change I'm going to 10w40 and will see what the results are and if not happy then I will try synth oil same wieghts but the oil consumption is alot more managable then before..
10w30=3/4 a qt of oil in 1k miles
5w30=1qt of oil in 1k miles
both times I had gone for a long drive about 150 miles and noticed that it ate more oil on this long run so hopeing a heavier oil will slow that down

0w 40 isnt that a thinner oil at start up then a 10w 40, I would be affraid that it would burn at start up then slow down, and I still see more oil lose thats why I was going to do 10w 40 because heavier all arround. I was thinking because 5w is thinner then 10w at startup that it was eating some at start up or could I be wrong
