Everyone is gonna know the day I pay it off!!

 

wow... that sucks I have 5k left, and 4 years left lol I've just been payin extra when I have it though, so It'll proby be done next year

 

$5,000 in 4 years.. lol How much are your payments?? $50 bucks.. haha

 

wow sorry, I cant do math or read lol it was a 7k loan in 4yrs, sooo now its 4.7k and 3 yrs left. I pay $200/mo

 

Lol

 

I say you just buy a short block or long block from import pro...it's already built and it'll save you time.

If you spend the money to redo the block more then likely your going to have to redo the heads...the price adds up quickly unless your doing it yourself or you have shop hook ups

 

another thing I should add, I dont plan on going FI, as much as I love power, I dont see myself having the $$ for a FI setup anytime soon. I'll most likely be going with OEM parts again, they are quite reliable I'll probly just tryn find an aftermarket valve cover gasket though, I hear thats the main thing as to why we have such bad oil consumption though...

 

U mean the spark plug o-rings?? They have them..

 

idk, I heard its a gasket thats supposed to block them from getting into the spark plug chamber in the first place

 

just do a ls swap lol that what im going to do when the vq gives lol ready got the engine nd trans

 

[QUOTE=Trickstyle;6538368]not performace, I figure it would be cheaper to buy new pistons, lifters, piston rings, and anything else I would need. I got 200k out of this one, I think I can do it again


NO clutch disc or pressure plate.???...@56000 mi. I am looking at that down the road where I see most doing this between 70-90000 mi.? My driving is mostly turnpike. these 4 cam engines are a dream. mine runs like new and now makes more power than orig. very happy with it but still have eye on 350Z 2007

 

idk, like i said, i still have much research to do, I drive a 5AT so i figure the pressure plate is what i'll need to be on the lookout for? afaik, my tranny is fine, but im going to switch out my torque converter during the engine swap, my car takes to much time while shifting from drive to reverse and reverse to drive. might do the valve body upgrade as well... idk

the Z is fun, I had an 05 and miss it dearly, just make sure u get a 6MT

 

If you dont mind me asking. How much do you estimate a solid engine rebuild would cost? I just purchased a 05 g35 coupe and am in the process of figuring out how much damage it will be to get a solid rebuild.

 

About $1200 worth of parts to do everything, plus $400-800 in machine work, plus labor. That's for a rebuild back to OEM spec without any performance upgrades. Things like the cam sprockets are expensive and the parts cost adds up quickly, if you're doing more of a budget minded rebuild without replacing cam actuators, sprockets, sensors you can bring the parts cost down to like $700.
