I just found out that my motor has the oil consumption problem bad.

I have two options.

1) Sell the car and eat the $5-6K it would cost between the differnce in price and down payment on a new car.

2) Spend $5-6K and do a full build.

If I do a build I would need help finding a donor motor and parts (to eliviate down time as I only have one car). I also, cannot afford $10K for a full build motor done by a shop and will be doing this build on my own for the most part. So If anyone has any options, experience, or sources for parts please let me know.

 

That blows! I vote Build just cause u will love the end result....but whatever u wanna do...

 

I would build it if you have the time.

Also, how much oil did it eat?

 

4 quarts in 3500mi

 

are you outa warranty

 

If you decide to sell it, i might be interested. Let me know! My name is Anton by the way i am not sure if i ever met you, but i sold my G in december and been looking for one that needs some work.

 

yeah its out of warrenty and i dont know if I can sell it as I think i am emotionally attached...

 

Are you sure you're out of the warranty? Did it run out recently? I have a 2006 and my power-train runs out September of next year.

Maybe if you call Infiniti and complain to them they will do something for you?

The reason I was asking how much oil it consumed, because I just changed mine and I had almost a quart gone in 3,000 miles. With 30,000 miles on the car.

 

I drive alot so it has 83K on the odometer.

 

Talk about a rock and a hard place, I would probaly have to trade mine in

 

Do a LS swap.

 

for $5-7K? Is that possible?

 

A company called silky does the ls swap. I saw it in super street I think, if I had the cash that would be my dream choice

 

I'm sure IPS motorsports here in Cbus can do it. They are LS masters. There is a kit made to put one in our cars.

 

that would be the sht! Do ETT!!!
