So I recently bought a twin turbo 350z. test drove it and it ran strong as hell, not bad noise rattle or anything. Get on the highway and 15 miles later is threw a rod. The car is completely built and i want to explore my options. Im thinking of parting it out but not to sure. Here are the mods:
Greddy 18g turbo kit
Spec twin disk st trim 6k miles
Kinetix velocity intake
All new thermal gaskets.
Motor has 64k miles. 10k boosted
462rwhp 9psi
Osiris uprev tuned
Hks ssqv bov
greddy oil pan
Tb spacer
Rev up lower intake all ported and polished along with heads
tomei cams.
Underdrive pulley kit
Billit flywheel

Should i part out or rebuild it? Im freaking out so if this is in the wrong spot please give me some slack. BTW i can live without a car for a month if needed. And how much would a full complete shell go for with a clean title?

 

You'll probably be down longer than a month if you rebuild...

 

Ill be buying a new motor and swapping either the whole thing or just the bottom end depending on whether the heads are damaged or not. Which shouldnt take more than a month. Can pull the motor in one night and have swapped motors in in one weekend. But Im just really wondering if a part out will be a better option than swapping a new motor in.

 

Buy a built long block and swap it. You might have to pay the core if your block is trashed. Can be done in a few days

 

How much does a shell usually sell for with full interior? Its a track edition with 157k on it. Not a rebuilt title btw

 

Ouch !! These aren't worth squat these days and one w no motor gosh. What are your intentions? Want a toy? Is it a toy? Have a daily? Etc. Sorry to hear/that is pretty dam crazy, but w FI, anything can happen. GL and I'll take the TT kit for $1k. thanks. that said, I'd part part part if you want most out of this.

 

I'm in the market for a turbo kit PM me a price.

 

inb4 it's not really built

 

As others have said: if you're going to rebuild, do it right. While it may only take one night to pull the VQ35DE, it'll take much longer than that to strip it down and do a full assessment. If the crank journals look OK, I'd have it checked for straightness and magnafluxed. If you really threw a rod, almost everything else is junk. You simply need to build the bottom end with FI parts.

You didn't mention how much you paid for this Z, but a complete car without an engine is simply not worth much. You'll need to rebuild to maximize any investment you have in the car.

 

Rebuild or if you got it cheap enough part it out

 

Then it wasn't completely rebuilt.

 

make sure you got a good DD, it could be a while to rebuild

 

I paid 6k for my 2003 ppw shell with 60k on it, clean title... I overpaid but got what I wanted..

 

Who would spend all that money, and time, and still keep stock rods?


Rebuild it, a miata goes for $2000-$4000 depending on how nice you go...

You spent the money on it, why let what you have spent go to waste? (parting out im afraid you will be disappointed after all the time and effort spent )

 

sorry to hear this!!! but hit me up with a price on the cams and clutch.. if parting out..
