Bought the car New Years' Eve 2005. Flash forward until a few weeks ago when I had an oil consumption test conducted @ Infiniti. 1500 miles into test, 1/2qt(12mm) low. Had to provide maintenance records of oil changes from the 20k miles to approx 51k. I provided my records and asked Infiniti to provide records of the first 20k miles. Not 1 record of any service at Infiniti. A week passed and I was informed to drop the car off to receive a new long block. Hell since the car had 51k on the clock & it is a 6 speed, I opted to have the clutch replaced. Bought an exedy clutch & ACT streetlite flywheel from THMotorsports and had the dealer install it while it was apart. Received a call today, car is ready on the anniversary of the date I bought it 4 yrs ago. For now I will baby it, break in the clutch and put some miles on the motor before adding any mods back to it. Hopefully the issue is resolved.

Happy New Year!

Life works in funny ways.Congrats on the new engine, and nice choice of clutch. Try not to let the itchy foot get the better of you and abuse her before she's done being broken in.
