New Engine has arrived. Hopefully we can get started tomorrow. I will try and get some good pics of a Z with no engine!

Fuzz, with the engine out can you take some measurements of the bay for later reference, say people want to do something crazy we know the answer?

FuszNissan · 08-14-2009, 03:21 PM

I will try

What separates a car that burns 1 quart every 2000 miles (mine just did - I had to refill it today) from a car that burns 0 quarts every 15,000 miles?

* Engineering design
* Manufacturing tolerances

Nothing else needs to be said. There is no arguing about it, like you stated. It's a fact that one or both of the above factors was not a priority with the Z. I love my car, but the fact that it burns 1 quart of oil every 2000 miles, and this appears to be common, says something pretty profound about the engine either from a design or manufacturing (or both) perspective.

an E320 CDI will never and can never be driven like a Z... its simple... its like saying... my ford focus never consumed oil - so its better designed than a Z

BanningZ · 08-14-2009, 05:09 PM

^+1 My GMC Cargo carrier burns oil and its rear wheel drive. Must have been designed by Nissan engineers.

agreed, those things are fatty fat cakes, handles like an M1 Abrams, Mom drives one.

Did you guys ever stop to think maybe this is Nissan's plan to sell more of their ester oil?!

LOL - at my local dealership they very very very rarely ever sell the Ester Oil. Makes sense since all these guys who bought $40K cars can't afford to spend $10 on a liter of oil anyhow
