This is especially true since the dealer usually has their hands tied behind their backs as far as experimenting. They gotta do stuff by the books so there's no potential for lawsuits because they didn't follow standard procedure.

my 2 cents. Good luck with it all though. If anything, just getting a new regular engine will be nice - you regain all your worn miles you've used on it
ya, you're prolly right, but my dealer claims to be a nismo dealer, so i'm trying to push the envelope. the mechanic actually told me he has never installd the parts i'm requesting, so maybe its best just to drop in a new engine. i'll keep you guys posted for future reference.

Have you factored in ECU. With a 03 or 04 engine. You got a chance to tinker around with the ECU.

Beware the 03 gearbox bell housing may not mate up to an 05 engine block, I was after a 05 gearbox for my 03 car this is the info I had from Jason from Performance Nissan.

Cheers
