I saw an 05 VQDE in the dealer a few months back getting an engine swap due to OC, so they were not excluded from the ugly OC head. It was also under warranty for the engine swap.

Yup... All year DE motors had OC issue. None so far has been reported for the HR motors (07-08 Z and G sedans).

And I haven't really heard any OC issue on the 08+ G37s either... maybe it's a 370Z isolated issue? Does anyone have the full TSB document including the solution? I'd like to see what's all involved in resolving this issue.

Fuuu.... my bad Shumbs...

I just thought since it was from The370Z, it was for 370Z... This problem could also relate to the new M37 then? Man... no wonder Nissan wants to stop building the VQ and move on to Mercedez motors...
