Not struck on it myself....I drive past the local Bmw dealer often, and i am always tempted to go test drive something, and test the arroggance of the BMW salesmen that i have heard about at my local dealer

Over the new MY07 Kev? Absolutely, hate the bonnet bulge of thhe MY07. The Z4M engine is a peach.... Would like to test drive the new zed though with the new engine, then try the bmw.

Over the new MY07 Kev?

Stick with oem parts and just uprate the pads. You seem to me want to go this way.

They are welcome to the badge, i will take the car everytime.

First i have heard of it

I have a new MY06, bought it in May '07 and I stuck in 2 litres on 2000 miles as the dip stick was on the low level mark - I am sure it needs more as I am now on 2800 miles but I have not had the chance to check as whereI park the car is not level - I can tell you this - if it needs more I will be dropping the car off to Marshalls for them to sort out and I wont be taking sh*t from them like the last time (paintwork). 2 Litres in 2000 miles

If you need any advise... I have been 5 times so far... I went in September a few years ago, nice in the day rainy and stormy at night.

But the thing to remember here is the fact that this problem only seems to affect rev-up engine owners, ie GT4 and MY06 owners. Mine is not that bad but i have had to top up now and again.

I see the point that you're making but why didn't Nissan take this line with Autocar? By replacing the engine and apparently not feeding any info on the cause back to the magazine they have allowed Autocar to print an article which would worry any potential Zed purchaser. Good point Digsy, why no feedback on the problems with the engine?? If it was just a one off fault you would have thought that they would have been back quickly to report on the causes. In anycase this news is not new, there are quite a few unhappy rev-up engine owners on www.my350z.com with excessive oil consumption problems.

mandatory whipping for all found keying cars !!! Whipping not good enough, more along the lines of knee capping i was thinking.

Nismo

Must admit this is the only big engine that i have owned thats needed oil top ups between services.

oh dear, The problem is also that assuming this is not an issue with MY07, IMO the jungle drums will sound and the (misplaced) assumption will be that all cars pre MY07 have an issue even though it is MY06 specific To be honest it does say it is a MY06 specific problem, but i am a little worried as the GT4 had the 300ps engine. Personally i think Nissan know there a problem with this engine, hence the new engine in the MY07.

I have read it and it does not make good reading. Just got the mag at lunchtime. A year in a 350z final report.

Crikey Laser guided sh1t!!

Dont bother they all do this.

Nismo all the way!! PM Sarnie he might be selling his. If not get one in from the States

Yes i dealt with him with my Nismo exhaust. He knows about the pitfalls of importing Email him and ask him what he can do for you.
