I would like to help out on the day, hopefully it on a weekend that I'm not working.Originally Posted by roofy
Also if you guys need someone to do some running around to pick up bits n pieces just yell out. Probably the only benefit of doing shift work.

4.5lt Gas blower. Lots of mods to come.....all in good time.
What i am thinking is maybe we get hold of the car and a few of us do the engine swap or rebuild or what ever the case may be then once the car is up and running we have a big meet up to celebrate. ...
Too many distractions when there is a tonne of people around and things can get missed.
Matty please shed some light on what you are thinking. . What is in ferntree gully.

If Roofy is not comfortable with it and if your boss is ok with it I will throw them on my car if it secures them an extra 200 bucks.
Instead of a sticker maybe Andy could do a free vendor thread for them on here for a couple of years, reckon it would get more publicity on the net then a sticker on the a side of a car

There is a nissan dealer there who usually stocks quite a few crate engines. They may be worth a call or drop in to see if they have anything.
A brand new engine will come with warranty plus you avoid some of the issues that can be had with a rebuild.
I can go have a look. Um I'll try to head up Monday

G'day trendsetters,
On a serious note, if we are going to spend between $3000 and $4000 for a motor for Roofy, then i think we need to discount a secondhand engine.
I have located the following motor listed below is situated in Clayton South Victoria, it is a fully reconditioned engine with 12 months warranty, the mob wants $4600 exchange. I think we could contact these folks they might come to the party and let us have the motor for around $3500 or $4000. Plus the motor also comes with a brand new head and 12 months warranty. The blokes business number is 0400 033 377. I think you folks need to contact this chap ASAP to see what deal the bloke might offer.

Yeah think i saw this same ad on flea bay and was thinking something along these lines as an option. I can ring or drop in to lilydale nissan see if the have a price on a crate motor. We get our work navara serviced there and the service is excellent which can be rare for a dealer! Can give ftg a call too.
Does the caravan sticker come in white as well, not going show up on a dark paint job
Angled up across the rear window would look OK
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Now this is a good idea this or another one as its going to be from the members of the forum
if the motor comes with this much warranty it would be acceptable by the members and myself
if there are enough funds in the kitty.Lets see if I can clock up another 282000 ks
