Aw.....damn I say find someone that will do an engine swap and possibly jump on that motor Emad linked to earlier. It had less miles than that 115k one and the swap will probably run you anywhere from 500-1,000-but even at that, it'll be cheaper than 6K. The only thing I'm not too sure about is how much more than a direct swap you'll have to do to make a non-revup motor 100% compatible with a revup car in terms of ecu and everything.

Mine is automatic, so isn't it non rev up??
Honestly I don't know what I am goin to do. No warranty...still owe about $8000 on it... I guess I'll be selling the Works. I'll see if my uncle's shop has an engine hoist and I can do the swap myself.

Sorry to hear man. uuuugh!!

As for a motor, be sure to search man. You can easily find a full motor for under 2k. Its a very common car with MANY engines on the market.

Hmmm...that's a good question...is Revup motor only 6mt? Lol...I guess I've never needed to know that since I always am looking at 6mt mods and stuff. But yes, if you can do a swap yourself, I say go for it. You'll actually learn quite a bit from the process. There's one thing I KNOW I wouldn't do and that's pay 11K for a new motor to be swapped in. An LS swap will probably cost you less to swap in. Really sucks though man-I want to cry for you

Bruce that is no fun. I cant imagine a motor being THAT expensive though.

Anyone got a truck and trailer that they could help Bruce haul the car back back to Duluth with?

So sorry to hear this Bruce. Hopefully some people can help out and get your car back on the road ASAP. It sucks I'm up in Fargo or I would lend a hand, engine hoist, etc.

They sell themselves if you would hear what we say to the people lol. And it doesn't help he/we know just about everything about them haha

Yeah definitely find a different motor. That one emad linked has been for sale since at least the beginning of summer so i'm sure he would give you a deal.

Correct Bruce, your car is a NON - Revup.

Definitely try and do it yourself if possible.

Yes Peng. A revup motor is only in the 05/06 sedan 6mt and the 05-07 coupe 6mt's. All of the other cars are non-revups.

If you are going to spend 11k definitely do an LS swap.

I'll try to get pops to see if he would run it somewhere for him, but IDK.

Man. That's the worst news ever. How the hell did it throw a rod???? Hit up cl. Imsawma couple on there. But jump on it. Should cost you no more than 3k total if you do some labor.

And why would you convince a girl to buy a car with 100k on it??? Let her get a Murano..
