supreme Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hello guys, I am new on this forum, coming from Slovenia, Europe. I just bought my first 350z, it is a 04/2006 300HP facelift model, 6MT. Sadly my engine exploded (connecting rod failure) in my first week of owning the car. The dealer has been very supportive to replace the engine, no questions asked. He sourced a damaged car, with working engine. It is a 01/2006, 287HP, pre-facelift nissan 350Z, 6MT. Now, I know that in 2006 facelift nissan updated the engine (revup), power went up from 287 to 300 hp, also the redline from 6600 to 7600. I think it was more than just the ecu, camshafts and pistons aswell + variable valve timng on the exhaust IRC. Will the engine from a pre-facelift car (01/2006 287HP, probably non-revup) work with my ECU? If so, what are the HP and rev-limit numbers I can expect? Thank you guys very much for your replys, hope you enjoy your car, my is sadly at the dealer right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supreme Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Well the situation is like this: The dealer allready bought the "donor" car. It only has 60k km on the clock, has been crashed, but the engine and gearbox remained undamaged. He will repair my car anyway (official main slovenian Nissan dealer told my dealer the engines are the same, appart from ecu, which as I found out is simply not true). Now its up to me, i can get my money back or a repaired car with an one year warranty on the engine. Now if I can be sure that this new engine will work with my facelift car I would prefer to take the car, becouse I got it at a good price + the new warranty. On the other hand, if this combination of facelift car with a pre-facelift engine proves to be problematic I will take my money back. Is it possible to get a pre-facelift 2006 car with a facelift revup engine? Becouse the donor car was first registered 01/2006? And the combniation of old engine and new ecu? Do you guys see any problems there? Thanks again for your replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 The dealer must be having a laugh. Do not accept this engine under any circumstances. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Get your money back unless he can source a facelift engine with equal or lower mileage than the one that just blew up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garp Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Hello there. I currently have a dead engine in my 2006 350z. I have been told by my independent garage that I can ONLY fit an engine from the same year ie Rev-Up 2006. Mine has been dead for 5 weeks now. Have just bought a second hand engine which has now reached the garage. I have been told by my garage that the engine has been worked on before as he can tell by The colour of the seals. As they are hard to come by I am going to try it out in car first. Good luck friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
