Hey Hoov, I just had a look in my shop before I went home. I've got 4 BMWs, a Mini Cooper S, an XC90, a Honda Prelude, a Honda RC51, a Nissan Quest, and a Z31 in there. Think you could swing over and help me fix the non-BMWs? I've no idea what I'm doing, AND I'm pretty ****en retarded.

Hahaha. You crack me up. Classic internet keyboard warrior. I step into "your" forum, and offer a differing opinion than your own, and you can't handle it. Makes me laugh, and reminds me why I don't waste my time on messageboards anymore. Arguing with a southern redneck Camero racing hillbilly never gets anywhere. But you've got 5000 posts here on teh interwebz forumz, so therefore your(sic) the coolest kid on the block, eh? Hahahaha

Something else to consider here. And now I'm the one who is going to draw an assumption, for better or worse. There are those of us who are farther along in life, and own old Z cars because they are cherished toys, and money is not a huge object in maintaining and repairing them. For us, a new turbo, or an engine swap or overhaul is not really an issue, and might even be fun! BUT, Z31's are worthless old shitboxes, generally speaking. I'd bet that many forum members are high school kids, poor college kids, or other young guys who wanted a cool sports car for a few hundred bucks.
So whats wrong with owning my Z and being broke in college?

I don't have stron facts. Fact is, hoof didn't know if I was retarded or just don't know what I'm talking about. Fact is, I'm both. I'm actually a retarded 9 year old, posting nonsense from my mothers basement.
Monkies, there is nothing wrong with being a poor college kid with an old Z. I applaud you for keeping the old girl alive.

So can you show me a repair guide or service manual statement that says how much is an acceptable amount of oil loss over the service interval? Because I've never lost more than about 1/2 qt in 5000 miles. It's usually in the realm of 1/4qt and the motors have 150,000 miles on them.

I find one thing odd... 3. pistons seized... oil consumption at that point really doesn't matter!!! Kind of funny. My 1975 ElCamino burned a quart a week. At that point I was putting 3,000 miles on it in 6 weeks. Engine holds 5 quarts so in theory all I needed to do was spin on a new filter every six weeks.

Burning oil or just drink it up
I suppose all of you guys on this oil burning or drinking it up are not from California where smog is God, cause any* engine, and yes i said any* engine that has to pass smog in California and burns oil will not pass smog. California has more European cars than any other State that i know of, and we don't like oil burners and oil drinkers here. Have a good rest of the day ya all and Cheers !
