I am joining the air force and I am getting a big sign on bonus.
I was just wondering what the cost of a brand new 96 motor and 5 speed
trans runs.
No labor just parts
thanks mark

 

see if u could some how fit a 5th gen engine in, 222 or 255

 

guys at nissan around here said 1500 for the trans and around 4 grand
for the complete motor.
How do these prices sound?

 

Sounds high to me..Is that installed? What kinda engine?

 

not installed engine is a stock 96 motor complete does sound high

 

How bad do you need a new engine...If youve got under 100k just use the money to get some boost or if youre coming into a bunch..negotiate with nissan try to get down to at least 3k get a new tranny then get an SC and you can whoop up on every one

 

That sounds about right to me. I know our '91 Land Cruiser V6 had a new engine put in about 2 years ago. Just the engine installed ran about $8,000, but of course that is a much larger engine. I could easily see a Maxima engine uninstalled for $4,000. However I agree with Famemax, if one of your techs is willing to do it (as an under the table job), try and showhorn a more efficient engine in. It's worth a try, especailly since you're replacing the transmission anyways. Good luck with whatever you choose.

well should I rebuild are just buy new I have 104,000 miles
and wanted to add a turbo are supercharger
Just trying to get a plan.
thanks mark

 

Rebuild and beef it up a little if possible. Shouldn't be more than $2k for both. And then you have your money for the turbo.

good point that is what will be done.
thanks

 

I just got a 99 enigne for my maxima for about 900 buck here in so cal with about 12K mile or so. I got it install and it was about 400 bucks to do the swap and change what ever it need it.

 

Hey dude are you crazy??!!
Why do you wanna buy a new engine for $4000? Thats like buying an OEM maxima ypipe for $1200. Thats how much it lists at so they say.

A 100K VQ is as good as new. I see you're 23. Just save that thousands you have towards getting a house or getting married man.
but, if you can find a maxima engine for under $1000, then I say go for it.

 

Yeah you should wait till the engine dies on you or until it atleast has 200K.

Get the engine tested to see how it is.
