bod_bod Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 hi all joined the site last week been having a snoop around the site! i purchased my red import mid december very please with everything so far all seemed tight and drives really well! will post picks up soon! im from the bournemouth area looking forward to meet some members and shows and meets! met a few local 350z owners at a meet before the new year in poole. over the christmas period it seems my cars is consuming alot of oil atm? only just turned 60k miles and dosen't seem to be any leaks and the exhaust isnt oily or very smokey? have had a search on the net and on here but couldn't really find much info or anyone with similar problems? its a 53/ 04 plate standard spec. i hope nothing major has gone, if it has i would rather no now and save for a rebuild cheers bod, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-350 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Welcome. Where did you purchase the car from? Trade or private? Did you know it was consuming the oil when you bought it? PICS?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Well what Chris's & Bob don't know probably isn't worth knowing so I am sure they can give some advice on the oil issue, just for reference my Zed is a 54 on 109k and doesn't use a drop of oil between services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Mcgoo Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Welcome to the club. I hope the oil issue isn't too serious, but if it's not leaking but still disappearing it usually isn't good news. You may be able to prolong any need for work by changing to a thicker oil in the mean time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
