Default Alright.. General Question

Alright, I'm a newbie to this forum. If this is the wrong section, I'm sorry mods, but please move it.

Here is my story:

As some of you guys know, I have recently purchased a 06 PPW GT at a Nissan Dealership here in Atlanta, GA.

I was hesitant to buy it, but the offer was too good to refuse, so I had to get it.

The reason why I was hesitant was because, I've heard some of 06 motors have excessive oil consumption and the motor will soon have to get replaced once it gets real bad.

I have asked my salesman and he brings the paper to show that this motor HAS been replaced in October of 2007. Then, I asked if the motor was HR motor or the regular 2006 motor? They couldn't find out.

Anybody have an idea? Any help will be great! Thanks.

I doubt they could swap out the rev-up motor for a HR motor without changing ECU, adding dual intakes, etc. Nissan isn't going to be that generous - you got an 06 to replace the one that was there originally.

Find the engine serial# and you will know.

I highly doubt you have an HR. But for arguements sake, prop open the hood, and check to see if you have single or dual intakes.
*Question answered"

100% sure you have a single intake tube.

Enjoy!

I don't think the HR will fit under an '06 hood, either.

Ahh alright. single tube it is. Thanks for the info guys!

However, my another question is that, what is causing the oil to burn? How do I prevent this? Is it due to incorrect way of breaking-in? Or what is it?
