well....motor threw a rod today cruisin on the interstate doing about 75 on cruise control....kinda dogged it earlier that morning and then heard what i thought was a rodknock....but it only did it like 3500rpm and up...so me and my buddy just took it easy.

..then on the way home,...doing 75...i could hear the tapping....then...it got louder for a split second and it went boom haha heard metal hit the bottom of my car..then cloud of white smoke behind me .

.so i drifted for a good 1/2 mile till i stopped...towed it home...started it up and put it in the garage...man its loud haha started tearin it apart..to pull it.

****..so the point of this thread is i need a de or dek to replace this one like asap so if you have or know of someone that has an engine laying around pm me...im willing to pick up if your not too too far... __________________

 

Dam the luck!

 

check car-part.com or look in the for sale section...maybe ebay?

 

there are a few guys parting some 5th gens right now on the org and nycmaximas...check it out

 

Lots of happiness going on for an engine blowing up...

 

question...why do you have two threads.....in two of the WRONG subforums...asking the same thing?

 

Ya know?

 

I'm curious how he blew up a 3L.

 

According to some other posts in the 4th gen section, this guy was an idiot who beat on the car and didn't maintain it properly.

 

 

Do a 3.5 swap..

 

was this the guy who was shifting his 5spd floored and quickly slapping the clutch down and wondering why he was going through trannies constantly?

 

...no that was some guy with a 5th gen max...


and i was just about to ask how the f--k did this guy blow a motor and i guess the answer was already posted in this quote....

 

well that would explain how he blew it up

 

haha maintained, yes.

drivin like my grandma, no

 

hey i got some 3.0 at work, but they are from 5th gens

 

Where are you located?

 

I highly suggest you buy my motor and do the 3.5 swap. You'll be the 1st 4th gen with this motor. Link to my for sale thread in my signature below.

 

His motor is

 

Yeah, but all the time and effort put into that build going to someone like this guy who would probably end up destroying it just like his last motor. That would be a real shame.

 

You know I was thinking that exact same thing but decided to hold myself back. I knew someone would say it for me

 

I guess I should have read. I rescind my offer. This motor deserves a really good home.

 

Yeah like with me. Too bad I dont have the $
