I just started my second oil cosumption test as I failed the first. I broke in the second engine with 1200 pain stakingly slow miles. Now after 10,000 miles it still is using oil.

I use my engine and rev it hard. Is this similar to your driving habits?
Not surprised! Nissan maybe changing the valve train geometry in the future... Don't quote me though. Yeah, the oil ring appears to be an issue on the 2009 engines if the car is driven hard. Not sure if the oil ring was a different one on the newer engines.
