There is a post about someone selling new motors on here.
This I'm looking for now,

ANMVQ,

Maybe this will help?

09 Nissan 370Z Touring Edition Factory Complete Engine Assembly 39K Z34 VQ37 | eBay

It does, Thanx man, Was just looking on factory nissan parts.com and the short block is only $1500.

That is not bad at all, I would of expected more.

My instinct and listening tells me it's valve noise related, not rods. The timing/frequency corresponds with this (or.... the power stroke). Neither is good, but one is far less costly.

Following this closely. Wishing for better news.

Coop

I wonder if that is with literally nothing (i.e. pistons, etc). That seems too cheap.

Well cyl 3 is dead needs a short block . dealer said they couldn't warranty it do just got off the phone with consumer affairs.

damn... thats rough man

seems like 450whp has been done by many people. but i guess with yours being awd thats prolly more like 500... wondering what caused it to grenade... seems like hp that a few people are running

makes u wonder if it was a tune or a part failure

Granted it's hard to compare real life noise vs. a camera phone, but my motor sounded oddly familiar to yours. My motor was misifiring like crazy, but it never sounded/felt like knock. I'll never know...

Good luck with the rebuild.

Man this really sucks to hear...good luck with your next move.

I think you hardly drove this car since you got the s/c installed. Wasn't it at the dealership most of the time getting the kit function properly. You're giving up too easily on this, try harder with warranty, get some legal advice, make sure dealership and Infiniti knows it.

Wow, sorry to hear about your troubles. Was this directly after the tuning or had you been beating on it pretty good? Wont know exactly until you get down to it, but it'll be interesting to see what let go. Post up pics, good luck!

Thanks,

Hey , Alex was about 10 days after the tune, An no I was not beating it, LOL didnt do that before. :) I'm a older guy, Wife says I drive like grandma. The the other questioin yes I have bearly driven the damn thing, Bought and had the kit install was complete in Feb this year, Drove it for a few months and the SC issue came up July 7th, got the car back 15 days ago( Been at the dealer since tuesday) An, , ,, , ,, ,


The car just dumped all over the dealers floor :(, They confirmed that cyl 3 was junk. Low compresion 172 or something like that. They did not want to deal with the warranty issue so they where trying to have me take the car to Norwood( Where I bought the kit and had the install done) But we all remember why I did not want to go back there. So the the tech started the car put it in reverse and back up and BOOM!! CYL 3 rod blew a hole in the block and hit the floor, On top of that Norwood refused the car ( of course, they where HAPPY enough to take my $9600) But now there are issues again they refused the car, I have been on and off the phone with INF affairs all day.

Weird thing the dealer told me they could warranty the engine but I can not reinstall the SC???

Whhhhat? Hole in the block at idle? Wtf!!!!

Meaning they will give you a new shortblock but not install the SC?

I'd say take that deal and reinstal the SC later after the motor breaks in.
