hey, i've been needed a new water pump for some time, and with the vg30 engines i am told i need to replace the timing belt as well, shoped around for prices best i got was a 600 + tax including parts and labor for the whole job, any one know if this is a good deal, or am i being ripped off.

 

that's a lot, if you live around Queens NY I have a friend who owns a shop and can do the labor for 300.00 and you just buy the parts www.foreignautoparts.cc or you can have him order the parts and the price still wont be more than $400.00

Labor $300.00
Parts $ 23.00 for the timing belt
$ 35.00 for the water pump
$ 10.00 shipping
Total $368.00 for the whole Job.

 

shop around some more, but I think Izzy(crazy4maxima) paid about that much for a full tune-up in NYC

 

too bad he's in Florida. Yeah $600.00 is a lot go to another shop and see what they say.

 

go another quote 586 whoopadedo

 

I can sell you a brand new genuine nissan waterpump still in the box for 20.00 Email or pm me if your interested.

 

If you don't mind some green grease monkey's try a community college that has an auto shop class. I had my water pump plus all of my accesory belts replaced and it cost something like 150 bucks.

 

If you have that mechanics shop number I could use it. My water pump just went and I was quoted $568.00

 

did you try Jeff at maximum tuning? www.maximumtuning.net

 

wished i still lived in long island, maximas are a rarity by me. i've seen one other tricked out 5th gen by me in the 3yrs i have been down here

 

You can be like me and have someone do it at my highschool for free and only pay for the pump itself and what I thought is that he didn't replace any of the belts. A $40 water pump job HEHE. Only thing is the guy that did it didn't have the extra 2 seconds to tighten the bolt on the pulley tensioner so I was going about 80 and the thing flew off on the free way and I lost power steering and my temp just flew up. Not so good, but another $50 for a tensioner pulley and it was back to new. I guess I could take $90 (should be $40) water pump job over $600.

 

I did not try him the car would not make it that far.
