I have just purchased a 2005 350z touring. How do I know if this is the Rev-up engine or not? Thx

 

redline at 7k? if yes then it's a rev-up. But it's probably not because only the 35th anniversery and the track model were rev-ups in 2005

 

only the track, and anniversary edition came with the rev-up in '05

 

Yes....but stick only not the 5SAT.

 

I saw a thread on this. Wanted to know before I order the Plenum spacer.

 

good call, my bad

 

Tracks in 05 had the revup ?

 

^yes

 

ok so if on my tach the redline is 7k I have the rev up? because on mine it shows the redline right at 7k but I have a base model.. hell I dont even have cruise control..... im confused....

Why would you want a revup anyways, they have a oil consumption issues.

 

Mine doesn't. But I guess I can fix it so it does~ Lol.

 

right at 7k? or right at 6600?...

 

mine doesnt anymore either fixed with v-2 and 0w40 mobile 1 oil

 

Mine doesn't, and even if it did, I would re-ring and go. There is more to a revup than oil consumption. Do a little reading before you post any more brain farts like that.

 

+1

And if you're going to dismantle the motor to re-ring it, might as well bore .20 over, with new pistons, rods, balance & blueprint.

 

If thats a sure solution to the oil consumption problem why the hell aren't the dealerships doing this instead of the V2 which still isnt a 100% fix.

 

Because dealers don't touch imternals anymore, they even try to stear clear of short-blocks.

Also, it hasn't exactly been confirmed that the V2's aren't a fix, and who is to say what v2's did and didn't get different rings? until someone opens one up or someone can get there hands on a fast catalog for the m?z? part# engine than it's all speculation.

 

Forgot to add though, I wasn't saying the rings aren't the cause, because they are.
