before you leap into buying new fuel injectors, go to a shop and have them hook up a scan tool to see what the fuel trim looks like. If the there is a huge difference in trim between the L and R bank then there is likely a faulty injector. Also they can check your AFR if you have factory WB02.

I see above you have ~32,000 miles on an 04', your engine and transmission are covered for 5 years or 60k miles; powertran warranty.

yes 36k warranty is bumper to bumper, so if you seat is messed up you get it replaced or if your paint chips for no reason it gets repainted, 60k powertrain warranty covers tranny and engine and comes with pretty much every new car

for a dealer to void your warranty because of aftermarket parts, they must prove that the part is the source and cause of the problem. i'm sure there are dealers out there that will say that an intake voids your warranty and that they won't cover it, either take it to a different dealer or call NNA(Nissan North America) and file a complaint
do you have non foulers installed or o2 simulators? does your car run funny? do you still get the fibers on your exhaust tip? does your stock exhaust sound different?
a forum member is selling predrilled non foulers for 20$ shipped https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ne+check+light

Hey check this out, I have an 05 Z non-revup base model. I have been consuming oil since day 1. I thought that with time and a couple of oil changes this would go away and it didn't. I had test pipes and was told by the dealer that this was the reason why (BS). I then removed the test pipes and put the cats back on and took it to a different dealer. They said it was cause I used synthetic oil again more BS. They gave me a free oil change and asked me to bring the car back in after 500 miles so they can check my oil level. I know my car and 500 miles won't show anything and they know that too. Well I couldn't get to the dealer after the 500 miles infact after 2000 miles my oil level was down to zero. I called the dealer back and told them what happened and they told me to go get another oil change and bring it back after 500 miles. I'm taking my car back tomarrow for the 500 mile check and If it shows that I'm consuming oil they will replace my bottom end. Sorry for the long post but I just wanted you see that the test pipes had nothing to do with it, and that not just the revup has oil problems.

Also, thanks for the link. If I decide to go back to test pipes I will look into those.

wow hope they replace your engine, thats pretty bad. i believe that our cars consumes oil from the get go and not something that starts after some usage right? they should replace your engine either way cause driving around with no oil couldn't be good.

Its not smoking because of your cats, they are getting clogged up with the oil smoke. Testpipes do not smoke, not using nonfoulers does not create smoke. Bad sealing exhaust does not create smoke. Oh yea and if you change the oil yourself they can void your warranty because you do not have proff (recipts) of your oil ever being changed. lol. Go nissan and thier horrid customer service.
