would you purchase a g35 that fell into the manufacture date guidlines in the TSb for oil consumption?

 

sure if you pick it up cheap enough and put a new motor in it or rebuild the one in the car.

 

Also depends on what year the car is. If its an 06-07 and it still has the power train warranty, then yeah of course. That's what I did. Bought my 06' with 62k and the owner never got it tested for oil consumption but never had a problem with it but I am going to try to get my motor TSB'ed.

 

good luck. if its out of warranty by time or mileage, doubt it. and you not being an original owner doesnt help. and even more so if the car doesnt have much of a history with the dealer. lots of things to factor in. trust me. i work at the dealer, i know, i went through it and got shot down lol

 

I wouldn't have a problem if it was still under warranty and it had service documents. Then if the OC issue arose you'd be covered, that's only two if's....lol

The OC issue was only for 2005 Rev-up motors.

 

Nope 2005 to May 29, 2007 (CV35) M/T are included in the OC TSB.

 

if you have a oc problem and u keep and you keep the oil topped off will you engine run properly and have average engine life span or does it cause other problems as well?

 

Thank you for correcting me. My bad!

 

I have a 2004 G35 coupe...at 54k miles got my baby put in for oil consumption issue. They replaced my motor. New motor consumes oil also. I cannot put in synthetic...it will blow thru 2 1/2 -3 quarts every change. If i use regular oil- it only uses about a quart! Weird i know but yeah she drinks lots of it.

 

Piston rings from the DE/non revup motor will solve the problem.

 

Incorrect. The problem was they increased the rev on the VQ35DE motor and didn't upgrade the rings or pistons.

And, if you didn't know, the VQ35DE has a long history of oil consumption, since 2002. From Altimas, Maximas, etc etc.

It just became more severe with the revups. Increasing the rev on a motor known to have OC issues, w/o upgrading the internals. Good job Nissan.

What's next? Charge 10k for an intake, exhaust and red seats and call it an IPL? Intakes, Performance Exhaust. Lame azz seats?

 

Well suit yourself, but the information i have is that Nissan used different ring sets on the rev-up motor which caused the oil consumption problem, quite a few tuner's in the UK use this method to cure the problem.
And by the way my non rev-up DE and lots of others have no oil consumption problems.

 

think my 07 with 29k miles on it consumes oil.. i drove it 2200 miles home and went to change oil and maybe had qrt ,qrt and half in there.. i took it to sears to have oil changed so its documented and goes to dealer thursday.. has bad shift **** rattle and passenger front wheel hub bearing hums pretty bad.. so i guess ill hit them with the oil problem too

 

Is there any way to check if we have the issue/should have a dealer check it out?

I have a 2006 5AT btw.
