so did a little searching and found virtually nothing on whether the 5.5 gen (3.5) engine cover fits the 5gen (3.0). anyone know?

 

No. Well, yes. With modification.

Why would you want to?

 

Regardless of fitment, the 5.5 gen cover says "3.5" on it in large, raised lettering. You know that, right?

 

u could easily sand it down and smooth it out if im not mistaken

 

yea..i know what it says ( have one of each). i'd love to get an AE cover for the wifes but i can get a 3.5 cover easy and cheap but dont wanna bother if it wont fit.

 

Give Dave B a call. I think I priced out a 3.0 engine cover at about $80.

 

wow that is pricey. I have like 3 3.0 covers just laying around collecting dust hell i would let them go for 10+shipping. Unless you are talking about a AE cover then that wouldnt be to bad.

 

Engine cover, not coil cover. It's $104 on Courtesy, so $80 sounds about right for Dave's price. The coil cover is only $70 on Courtesy, I'm sure Dave's price would be much lower.

Also note that you need not only the cover itself, but also the mounting bracket (~$8 on Courtesy) and if you don't already have a good assortment of bolts and nuts, two bolts for the bracket, two bolts for the cover, and two nuts for the cover.

 

can someone post a pic of the 3.0 engine cover?

Did you search?

If you search 'engine cover' in this subforum, there are many (and I emphasize many) threads that are not only requesting pics of the engine cover, but that actually have pics.

Please, learn how to search.

yes I Was looking for a non AE cover, I did not see the black one (I assume that's the non AE)

 

There is no regular engine cover. The A33 only had an engine cover for the 20th AE model, none others.

What you are looking for does not exist.

 

This guy never stops...hahaha. Who's this Dave I have a couple hun-ed buck burning a hole in my wallet. Let me support his bizness.

 

Ok, I had never seen one on a Non AE.. Then again, Ive only seen a handful of 2nd hand Se's. That explains why. I figured it was just missing.
Thank you

 

He works for Nissan, his number can be found through...well...yea.

Not to mention, it's in the stickies.

 

It's not just the SEs, no trim level had an engine cover other than the 20th AE.
