Hey Guys...

I have a non rev engine and I am replacing oil so fast, I would say about every 2K.

This is FYI and if you don't have this problem, cool.

I can care less where the engine was made..

When it's an import there is no company warranty, so replacing the engine like in American is not an option.

I hope it's just me with this problem!!!

Warranty Company like National Warranty Company are scams anyway, Nagoya scammed me $2000 for a warranty that was 100% supposed to give me $5000 engine cover for this sort of thing. I cant use it one bit, its completely useless, NWC.com.au pull the "normal wear and tear" and consequential BS card and pay nothing.. I would try replacing the PCV valve, get quality oil catch can inbetween the PCV and plenum, get new valve cover gaskets, replace spark plugs and start using 5W 40 Shell-Rotella-T6 Oil and you will have alot less usage. If still an issue then worn rings.

Lol. Its not a Kingswood!

Its pretty easy to find where your losing the oil. Your either leaking it or burning it. Make sure your oil measurements are "scientific" (ie repeatable). That means, car dead cold on a flat surface.

VQs do have a bit of blow by, and this can lead to oil getting pushed through the PCV and burned. An inspection of the internal of the plenum will tell you how bad it has been. I have seen bad, and have seen almost brand new as well. Other typical VQ traits are the spark plug tube seals leaking, rocker cover gaskets leaking oil, and a weap out the sump plug if the washer isn't fresh.

check your exhaust in the morning/ cold start! give it slight rev and get someone to look at the exhaust, a blue tinge smoke usually means you're burning oil so the issue may be that the rings are just worn and you end up burning most of your oil. this is very common for engines that had either a factory fault minor manufacturing defects or engines that have been revved and abused like crazy.


Try a thicker oil and see how you go. also check under the car for oil spots that may be a clear indicator of a leak.

as for warranty for engines. you have to prove to them the leak is a faulty component and not a wear and tear as normal wear and tear is a minor amount of oil being burnt or lost thru normal day to day driving but if u run out of oil after 2000k that is not normal for an engine.

something like this sounds like an engine rebuild / recondition. like changing seals and piston rings and the likes. witch is time consuming.

I am not leaking any oil...I have check this often....

I will double check my exhaust in the morning...

From what I have read in America..this is common but the car, engine run fully fine....and fast....well for a G35..LOL

THANKS EVERYONE!!

Like I said before....I wanted to see if anyone else had this small issue...

I use Mobil 5-30 and my car has 150,000Km on ODO. change the oil every 5000 to 10 000 Km and every time i lose close to 0.5L so to me it sounds like your car burns oil or its losing it somewhere else. i recommend getting a qualified mechanic or someone that knows what they are doing and do a major service and have them change all fluids and keep an eye out for extra oil or oil in that fluid. like oil in the coolant ( bad sign ) then make sure you do a full flush of the oil and put in a thicker oil. 10w40 sounds a bit to thick but i know people that run it on newer models that are are above 100 000 km and have no dramas in fact recommend it

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
