Not far. I later traded it in on another car, so I stopped caring.

I'm not going to give myself an ulcer over any car problem. Once the dealer knows about it and has documented the issue to the point where my butt is covered, I stop caring.

However, I did take an issue once all the way to NNA concerning improper alignment with my first 350Z. Everyone kept telling me it was within spec, but it pulled like a mother to the right. Finally got an old timer Nissan tech that worked on the original Z cars. Knew what it was immediately and fixed it. (Rear toe adjustment)

Just a question for the OP:

Are you checking your engine oil after you've been using the car for a while?
You should check the oil when the engine is still cold, or if you've been driving around make sure about 10 minutes have gone by before you check the oil so it can return to the oil pan.

At 2900 miles and 6 quarts of oil, I got a new short block. at 13,700 ish I started a new oil consumption test. Only two quarts in 3700 miles, or was it 3 quarts. Either way I am testing as we speak. I do not want to fail a second time.

about an hour. In that time you can prep a good cherry or blueberry pie and chill it. Give it another hour and serve.

Well Its been a while since I posted on here. Car has been stored all winter.

I think my car has a blown head gasket.

Oil smells sweet.. The coolant is completely burned off (reservoir empty). Really sucks, soon as the snow melts a little more outside I'm taking it to nissan. All I can say is they better repair this right and not do a half arse job. I almost don't trust nissan to take care of this correctly. God I hope the car doesn't need a new engine.
