I doubt you are getting an HR motor....unless they are planning on doing a full ecu, harness, etc swap along with your motor.
You'll get the "revup" motor which is a VQ35DE with variable intake and exhaust cam timing, bigger cams, shorter-runner manifold, and stronger rod bolts.

lol.....ur not getting an HR dude. They're giving you an updated version of the DE with a "fix" on that oil issue. Would sure be nice though. My motor might be getting replaced at WCN aswell. Dropped it off yesterday and waiting on the news today.

Did you think you were going to get a new hood too?
Not checking the oil when the engine lets you know there is a problem and still getting a new engine is what I call dumb luck.
You are right though. It should not have happened. I'm glad you have a fair dealer.

1. you cannot install an HR motor to a DE equipped car without completely rewiring the car, new ecu, new harness, new clutch, new flywheel, new pullies, new gauge cluster, new hood - so no, you are absolutely not getting an 07 engine
2. given that, you're not being told correct info, or you're not listening carefully enough to the info being told to you

You won't get a HR unless you are paying for it. Nissan won't allow it and alos your hood would have to be replaced, ecu, wiring harnesses, are some of the things.

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?

Scary that people like him work for and represent the name Nissan. Makes me wonder about the ppl working on my car as we speak. Hmmm. Well my motor is probably getting replaced, Im gonna ask them to give me a VQ45 with a TT setup.

WOW!!! why are you people so harsh on carlos305? He may work at nissan, but it doesn't mean he is a 350z mechanic. I think we've all explained well enough that the HR isn't just a drop in replacement for his '06 Z. The guys was obvoisly excited because he thought he might be getting more powerful motor for free.
I am curious to hear what the service guys are telling now that he is questioning them about exactly which motor he will receive.
