OK, so I guess you already know the fact that you're not getting a VQ35HR... I'll leave that one alone.
I don't know how ANYONE can't notice their car is burning oil like it's going out of style. I don't know about you guys, but I check my oil every time I fill up at the pump. I also check it every Saturday morning, and before/after auto-x. It's almost stupid to go 700 miles without checking it even once.
Does the OP deserve a new motor... not really. His dumb fault for continuing to drive the car until it wouldn't drive any more (that was VERY retarded). If I was Nissan I wouldn't give him a damn thing.

omg lol im back because i was thinking of how stupid this was....the z has a damned oil pressure gauge....if it was low on oil im pretty damned sure it woulda had a loss in pressure. i would know when i ws down 1.5 qts, the oil light came on and my pressure went down a lot.
that reminds me, the low/needs oil light.
damn are you a f*cking idiot or what.
and!
+1 to not giving you anything....this was clearly owner negligence.
youre just lucky the 06 has issues, so you have something to cushion and hide your idiocy

please read the thread. Oil pressure and oil volume is not the same thing.

The low oil light is useless. During one of my consumption tests my car was 2.5 qts short. i didnt get a single light or notice any change to oil pressure.

They didn't want to believe that the new motor could be over 1 qt short in such a short time so they wanted to use the dipstick. It took nearly an hour of letting the car cool down before we could get a reliable reading. Even then the back of the dipstick showed it was full. That being said, I had them drian the oil and found it to be 1.2 qts short. Basically the dipstick is uselless.
But, that's still no excuse not to check at least weekly.

The best you can do before that is just estimate. I don't even bother checking the oil unless the car has been sitting for a while.

The next day it started turning off on me randomly, i was like WTF? i kept turning it back on and driving until it couldn't drive anymore i turned it on put it in first and a even louder and deeper noise came out, after that the Z wouldn't start, crank, or anything, so i called roadside and had it towed to nissan, where i find out the next day that my car had NO OIL!, (what a surprise?) and had to take out the engine piece by piece bcuz it was dat F***** up. So now for the good news it was their fault that my engine blew becuz i had all my oil changes done at the dealer and their is not a reason why the car should have stayed without oil. So now i am getting a brand new VQ35HR YAY!
If you drive an 06 make sure you check your oil constantly if u don't want to blow it.
I got a couple questions.
Do i buy parts or the 06 or 07 now?
The HR rev's higher right?Wont they have to swap out the Tach also?
Does the 07 have the oil consumption issue also?

I'm sorry I even posed that question or made it a big deal b/c it really isn't and it's none of my busness.

That's funny, since mine reads the same +/- a few cross hatches between either checking at the gas station or checking it in the morning or checking it an hour after running the car. The only time it's impossible to get a good read is after auto-x or touge runs.
You seriously can't take 2 minutes out of your day to check your oil? Whatever. That's a poor excuse.
LMAO... that's why you have maintenance dates... wow. So, in between those dates, you don't check for any problems? You REALLY don't deserve a new engine... you neglected your old one. Especially after forcing the car to drive after it didn't want to. Bet you didn't tell the dealer that one.
