OK, I am bored and started to wonder about the blown motors and their manufacture date. I saw on a Nissan parts website that the block for a car built prior to 09/02 is more than one built after, not sure the reason but it got me wandering if there is physical difference.

So here goes a poll, I know the population of 09/02 and prior is small and the FI in that will be even smaller but humor me.

 

Oh if you are a G35 put yourself on the 09/02 and after category, they are showing only one blcok for the G35.

 

You are talking about running with stock internals right? I have to check on my car. Where do I check it at?

 

Yes stock internals. I know there are more variables like tuning and boost being run but Ifigured this might be interesting.

You can get the info from a sticker on the door frame of the driver's side. Open the door and to the right side there is a white rectangular sticker with the vehicle info, the first line is date, mine says 07/02.

 

How much more? Also, what is the URL for the parts website?

TIA

 

There is a 300.00 difference in list price and 225.00 in the sale price, which is about a 25% increase.

in between, before 9/02 and excessive oil burn, but not blown.

 

it probably just has to do with the rarity of the block. less supply means higher prices. just my innocent speculation.

 

That makes since if it was a used market but these are new prices so why the difference.

Also it would make since if there was a reason for them to be different so that is what has me puzzled what is the difference? Why differentiate the pre and post 09/02 blocks and not just offer one block for all.

 

intersting poll.....
cant wait to see the results after everyone chimes in

 

Interesting poll, but its skewed towards the "after 9/02 build date". However, it will also give us a good idea of the number/percentage of blown motors that are at least part of this site.

 

no one vote twice...but get yer votes in, we will be announcing the new president of the BEC (blown engine club)

 

I figured that being that the prio to 09/02 is a very small population but I was looking at percentages, which if we get some more votes in it might be helpful, but as it looks now there doesn't seem to be much of a difference.
