ZedManTID Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 I'm looking at the engine from this crashed Zed. Does anyone know the car? http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-VQ35DE-Engine-with-Pictures-Videos-/281904182897?
NickMullin Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Hey, leave off. I am looking at this engine too.
ZedManTID Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 I'm in desperate need! My daily is sat in the driveway
-Bradders- Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 for that price, plus 800 on top for labour, you can build your own lol. 2
ZedManTID Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 I can't do the work myself and I'm being quoted around 5k for a rebuild as the crank may need replacing
-Bradders- Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 how much!?! lol, mines only come to about 3.2k including labour and including having the gearbox done! can get a new crank from CZP for around 600 quid plus import. one thing i found when looking for another engine is that you may encounter the same issue, unless you have full proof of how well the engine has been kept, you'll never know if its been ran low previously. 1
-Bradders- Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 my math skills are shocking, its closer to 4k lol with labour. but thats gearbox included too
ZedManTID Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 Unless I can find someone to do it for upto 4k, which is my entire budget, I'm going to have to go down the second hand route and pray I don't get stung!
Payco Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Have you got some prices from the forum traders ?
ZedManTID Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 Yeh I've tried the guys I know deal engines. ZMANALEX and Clark. If there are any others about I'd love to know
Renegade Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Give Lee a try http://www.350z-uk.com/user/10571-r35lee/
-Bradders- Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 try sly at kaizer motors? he quoted me 2.5k when i was there.
ZedManTID Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 Rolled the dice a bought it at a nicely reduced price after lengthy discussions with the seller. Sorry NickMullin if you were genuinely looking at it and thanks to everyone else for the input Fingers crossed I haven't been done!! Mods please lock thread
