Puff of Blue Smoke at Startup!
Its light blue. Checked the oil and it was down maaaybe 1/2 a quart. My car sits for long periods of time between starts [usually 5-7 days, sometimes 2 weeks depending on weather]. Never noticed this before. Wonder if I can get the engine replaced under oil consumption if I take the SC off... they already did my tranny though... EEK!

A representative of NNA has probably already read this thread and informed all Nissan repair shops to be in the lookout for your exact car...

When a dealer contacts Nissan for the ok and to get a replacement engine shipped they are asked if there are or were or shows signs that any mods were previously done to car.
If they lie and get caught after the engine is torn down at Nissan Lab then dealers get backbilled. Usually a Nissan Zone Engineer drops by to view the potential engine replacement car, then gives the ok in person.
Few dealers LOVE you enough to risk their money.

OMG, I'm not trying to turn this into huge battle, I already talked with a shop about a rebiuld. But on the other hand, I don't wanna tear into it if its just something wrong with the PCV. Is there a sure way to tell?

Just because they're getting paid for warranty service doesn't mean they are always willing to do it.

Every dealer is different.
