Hi Matt,
I read many of your posts and found them excellent. Would love your advice. I have a 1993 Motor and the car changed hands many times before me. It has 146k miles on it. Doesn't smoke, but runs really rough. Dealer tells me one of the injectors is bad and recommends changing all of them to the tune of $1300 for parts and labor. I checked it out and found that one injector alone is $125 each and you can't get NISSAN OEM for less than $85 each. So all together, o-rings and injectors, I'll pay $800 in parts alone. I just spent money on new water pump, timing belt and timing belt. (I can obviously transfer the new water pump to the new motor). Where is a good source of used VG engines you'd recommend? I heard very, very mixed reviews of the JD motors imported from Japan. Will the Nissan Pathfinder motor, at 3.3 Liters, and it's a VG motor, be a good choice? I'm thinking that at this point, getting a used motor with accessories on it and fuel injectors is a good option to have on a cost comparison basis.
Any ideas? Where is APEX? I have heard of Jeg's but they seem to specialize in American cars only.
