Paul I have just been on the phone with Matty and talked about our many options... your proposal looks to be a good one but some more research needs to be done Eg: the parts that have been used on these engines and what is in the warranty.. The small print and so on.
I got your message but am racing out the door to go to an auction so will speak later...
Droped into lilydale nissan and service dept wa closed (they're usually open on sat mornings - o well). . Gave FTG nissan a call, apparently their not doing crate motors at the mo, haven't got any on the shelf and are waiting back from nissan to see what the go will be in the future. They used to cost about 6 and a half.
Maybe a good reco like the previous one would be good way to go. Anyway happy to pick up engine and deliver to roofys or wherever work is to be done when the time comes.
You're welcome to use our place if it's not too far in the sticks. Plenty of shed space and camping room. The beast will fit in Katrols shed. Or the big shed.
Everybody could sleep in the back of a G60.;)
I'll ring my mate out at Outback 4x4 and see if he has any info about this mob in Clayton.
He warned me off a few rattle gun reco's, he may know of others
was the motor in question listed on Ebay????
I think that guy in Clayton has been around for a while. Also a 12mth wty is pretty good and if something is going to go wrong, you would think it would be in the first 12 months.Quote:

Your not being shot down, it is just discussion and everybody's input is valued. Remember this is a happy thread. :)Quote:

If he checks out to be OK, i personally think that this is the way to go, especial with all new parts, new head and also with the 12 months / unlimited km's warranty.
PS, a sweetener could be giving this bloke and his business a 12 month free sponsorship to the NissanPatrol forum that if AB agrees with this proposal, on the condition the bloke gives us the engine for $4,000 cash? at present he is asking $4650.00. Tell him about the cause, we have nothing to lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regards,
Paul
