Plus I was only giving my .02 to 'Black Acc' concerning which mods to remove before starting OC testing. As mentioned for years here about which mods ok or not (such a redundant question on this thread for years), it depends on Dealer. I'm in the group of better some-what safe than sorry/hassled. Some dealers are even asshats about intakes and cat backs lol. One member here was denied b/c of HFC's years ago (might of been on my350z OC thread, I forget), you get my point

I agree and that's been known for years it must be proved (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act). However, choose your battles if Dealer/Corp wants to make it an issue = headache if they do imo. Some techs are smart/savvy when it comes to the visual internal mod done to the non-revup lower plenum. Some techs will say nothing some will and as you say and I agree, to dumb to know lol. Although, the spacer that usually is used with the MREV is a dead give-away even if your dumb as a rock. Lots of Tonys stuff is for off-road use only too. If the MREV is in that catagory I think you'll be screwed even with the Magnuson-Moss on your side ![Dunno](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)

I decided to just suck it up and take the mods off before taking it to the dealer. Hopefully I'll be removing everything today on a lift.
Rather be safe then sorry...
Thanks for all the input guys!

Well I've put about 1300 miles on the car since picking it up.
I checked the oil at around 1100 miles and it was still at the H mark on the dipstick and the oil was a nice golden color.
I checked it again about a week later the oil is dirty and about at the halfway mark on the dipstick.

I'm going back to the dealer tomorrow for them to read the oil level. What's really funny is if I would have taken it in at 1000 everything would have check out okay because the level was still on the H mark. I always check the oil after the car has been sitting for a few hours so that I can get an accurate reading.
I just don't know about this damn car or damn Nissan/Infiniti.
I really wish I would have gotten an M3!!!!!!
So what did the short block accomplish .... Slower Oil consumption?

Even though mine is still sipping oil I noticed the car felt stronger after the breaking in the short block.

well i checked the level after 1000 miles it was only down just a tick idk if it was burned or just the new motor took a tad more than 5tqs
i am really not worried about it even if symptoms come back on the new block (possible) i know now that if you dont have more than 1qt/1000miles than its not worth it going to the dealership
and most likely if OC happens again it will have been way past this crappy replacement motor warranty's life..... thats the worst part about it my old warranty still had lots of miles left considering my morot only had 40K at the time of transplant

thats a good idea but i couldnt find how much lower it sits in respect to the ground
i could use it with no problems as VA roads are crap and i cant go any lower than 1" all around and still have a body kit, for some of the SOCAL ect drivers that are able to ride dumped may have a problem if it sits too low

Our design expands into the available space below the engine, while keeping the pan within the protective confines of the chassis.
Should be cool I'm in MD and I travel to NYC often those roads are hellish. If I dropped my ride I know I'd catch some damage from bottoming out.

I'm considering getting a High Capacity Oil Pan which adds an additional quart of oil to the capacity.

Dont see the point of that if the oil pump suction cant reach the extra quart of oil?
