I'm back, plus, New Engine
 

I logged on this morning for the first time since 11/16/06; it's been a while.

Just dropped in to say that apparently I'm getting a new engine. Like many others, I have been experiencing oil consumption. I consulted with my local service guy, and started an oil consumption test back in late November/Early december.

The first few intervals looked ok; there definitely was consumption, but not above Nissan's minimum threshold. I dropped my car off yesterday for some service, and received a phone call yesterday afternoon from the service advisor stating that "it looks like you're getting a new motor." I was quite surprised.

He didn't have much information for me, and it's not set in stone yet. I'll get more details later. So that means I don't know if it will be a rebuild, a new short block, or new long block.

If it's a rebuild, I might try to get them to install JWT's s7 cams. Regardless, I'll try to get them to put on some headers while the engine's out.

Wow, that is surprising.....:eek: .. Glad to hear it, Trey.
We thought you'd been kidnapped.......welcome back.....:p

Let us know how the replacement goes and what you're getting. https://g35driver.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

Welcome back Trey - I wondered where you went. How's the Mrs.? :)

Glad you're gettinga new motor, Im on my thrid interval for my oil consumption test. Service tech tried to blame it on my intake which i think is total bs. Hopefully they'll replace mine as wel.

It sucks you are having the problems but at least they are fixing it for you. :o

What happened? Thread link please...

Fortunately, no. They were really cool about it all. That's all I can share; don't want to get the dealer in trouble...

Welcome back, I'm glad things are looking good for you.

There's no thread about it, I chose not to slander the dealership and Infiniti NA as they eventually made right... It's the curse of the IP sedans!
