congrats on the new engine

 

Congrats! I just got approved for a new engine as well last week. Should be here any day now.

 

Congrats!

Hoping my gf will get a new engine for the cooling problem (overheated 4 times in 6 weeks and getting a new rad and thermostat) on her '03 sedan.

 

New engine on an '03 because of cooling issues? Never heard that one. How did you get away with it?

 

Engine replacement was for the oil consumption issue. Not aware of any cooling problems.

 

I don't think there is a service bulletin for the cooling issues. First time I've seen a post on that. I got a new engine because it was burning a lot of oil.

 

It's in the hands of corporate now and consumer affairs. Will start a thread when appropriate.

Sorry for the jack.

 

im a noob to the G35. is the oil consumption issue also true for 05 sedans with 5sp automatic?

 

No OC issues for the automatics, only 6 speeds.

The TSB was and is for the 2006-2007 (first half year of 07's) Revup engines (6MT). I am surprised though at the number of 05's getting engines replaced. Here we see an 03. I haven't seen any issues with autos though, you should be fine.

 

the TSB covers 05 models with the REVUP engine also

 

Did you have any mods?

 

that tsb is for manual trans 05-07 coupes (there is a VIN range for coupes) and manual trans 05-07 Sedans (ALL)

 

when infiniti replaced your longblock cause of the oc did they offer you to replace the clutch if you bought the parts

 

i think my engine has an oc problem, im going to be contacting my local infiniti dealer tomorrow. do the dealers give you any static for minor bolt ons (such as the ones in my signature)?

 

I am taking mine in today for OC and knocking. From what I understand if there is unusual engine noise then the OC test is not necessary. They are just instructed to replace the engine. btw, mine is an 05 coupe 6mt.
