i blew my motor about 3 weeks ago dont know y or how but it blew, but just woundering if any vq35de from any other nissan will fit into my car it is just an 03 base. and is there any websites that sell motors like a nissan junkyard? and on ebay seems like $2400-$2600 is avarge price does that sound right? and not trying to build it just wanna drive it again.i have been searching and can not find an answer.

for an 03 a 2003-2005 vq35de will work.

over 2 grand is pretty expensive for a used motor. Keep looking, you can find them for around a grand but they probably need rebuilt. Not that the 2400$ motor doesnt need rebuilt either.

ya i can rebuild mine but buying a new is faster. i spun bearing 1 and scratched crank and rod so it seems like a lot of work and more money to fix it

hmm, ya, you can buy a shortblock for cheap. they were going around 500$ here.

the only problem with buying a new motor is chancing how long it will last. if it only lasts a year or 2 was it worth wasting the money or should you have just rebuilt it brand new?

would this fit? it looks the same and code is same 05-06 altima just change headers and intake over or are the heads going to be differnt?

nevermind guess i found my answer mount holes on block are differnt then a z motor.

i'm not sure. i think it might be similar but stuff will have to be changed on it.

the hardlines, pulleys, and accessories might not be the same. They look different on that motor. I guess you could just use the shortblock out of it but 700$ for a motor with 22k miles on it and you'll have to swap stuff on it? not so sure if i would take that chance
