I did the oil consumption test at 42,000 kms. as per the TSB.
Nissan then replaced my short block. NC, problem solved.
This only applies to vehicles built before Apr.5 2010.
You can get the pdf at: Nissan TSB reference: NTB10-090
Classification: EM10-005
Hope this helps.
Did you notice a difference with a new short block as in power differences? How many miles has it been since you have gotten your short block replaced? And did you follow the break in period and not go over 4,000 rpm for 1200 miles or did your own break in?

No noticeable difference in performance.
I've added another 24,000 kms. since the replacement.
And yeah, I gave it the mandatory break-in. Now, however, I drive it spirited like a sports car is meant to be driven, and the only oil added is for oil changes.

Nice dude glad to see the short block actually resolved the issue.... moment of truth is coming soon. I'm almost at 1,000 miles and we will see how many mm it's low and see if my block will get replaced
