What code are you getting?

VQ35DE motors for out year are not expensive. You going to pay more in labor, if you have someone install it, than what you paid for the engine. If you can while the engine out I would build it up!

$1200 FOR A 02-03?!?!?!?!?! That's rediculous that's the price for a 6th gen VQ35 not a 5.5 gen.

No, nvm -__- just did some quotes over here, they've gone back up again, they've exceeded the 6th gen in cost now.

gotta love supply and demand. Is $600 for an install a good price?

Sorry to hijack a thread like this, but is it possible to put a 6 gen motor in a 5.5/5 gen?
If so, what else would you need beside the new engine harness and ECU?

Recently bought an 05 motor with 66k and a 1 yr warranty for $750. Give goyette's a call. There in mass and have another maxima motor with around 95k or something like that for $550. Worth a try.
