On my last oil change I switched to Motul 8100 5w30 and so far haven't burned any over 1200 miles. I'll report back if the brand change has reduced/eliminated my oil consumption.

It's now been 1500 miles since I switched to Motul 8100 5w30. My consumption has dropped in half, to 0.5 quarts. Don't know why, but I'm happy. I can certainly live with a quart every 3000 miles.
Again,
Amsoil ATM 10w30: 1 qt per 1500 miles
Motul 8100 5w30: 0.5 qt per 1500 miles
Just one more data point is all.

where do you get your motul?
and do they have 5w40 or 10w30?

I checked ebay, and West Covina Nissan sells 5L (5.2qt) jugs for $36, and you can pick up in-store to avoid shipping charges.

Its normal for AP1s to consume a lot of oil during hard use on the street and track. Stay w/ synthetic and get an good quality, internally baffled oil catch can.
