If your Z is 2006 or above then its a "Revup" model.
2005 and below are the "non revup". Unless your you
have a 2006 or up you really dont need to worry about
oil consumption, but you never know. I would just keep
an eye on it as 2005 was also listed as possible for having
problems.

I'm relieved to hear it's still moving forward. I'll let you know what happens, when I hear from them.

Doesn't occur at any given mileage, if you check your oil on a regular basis you will notice that the level seems to be dropping, some are worse then others but I would suggest just checking your oil at regular intervals. TSB states that it affects some 05's I believe, mostly aimed at the 06 mt's.

UPDATE
Finally, got the car back and seems to be running fine. I don't remember the car being this smooth since when I first bought it back in 6/06
It seems that the dealer has installed long block engine, which is what I was told they were gonna do anyways. My only concern is that it's the V2 model not V3, I guess I will find out in a few thousand miles if the problem continues. My only other gripe is that going from 4th to 5th now seems to grind a bit
blah !
here is the part number for engine: 10102-AC7MZ (known as V2)

Ok, so I finally got a hold of the BBB today. They said that Nissan is offering to replace my engine, with one that does not have an oil consumption issue. They will also give me a rental car for the duration of the repair period. After the repair is made, if I find that the repair is still unsatisfactory, I must contact the BBB, within 60 days of the completion of the repairs, to further attempt to resolve the issue.
The BBB said that Nissan will be calling me, to schedule the repair, and setup the rental car.

Ok, engine is on order. The dealership called today to let me know. I'm gonna call them tomorrow and see if I can get the part number from them. Just to make sure I'm getting the correct engine, and not the same one again.
They said they'll call again, to setup an appointment, once it comes in. Said I'm looking at about 4 days turn-around time.

Question... When you got your engine replaced, did they do anything to your warranty? I'm looking to ask them to extend it, since I already have 36K on the car... My warranty is good out to 75K but since a new motor is going in, shouldn't it start at 0 again? Thanks.

lol... yeah they aren't going to replace that motor. If you take off the kit maybe.
Usually for service bulletins you don't need to be under warranty.
