Default Motor and install in South Florida

Well unfortunately my motor let go last week and Nissan is denying my warranty claim. They actually stated that they are denying it because they found pictures on here of my car with nitrous, crazy huh. Well that leaves me in desperate need of a long block in south florida as well as a shop or somebody to install it. I have a 2003 non-revup Z. Any help would be much appreicated.

Thanks,

Eric

Ah now I know why Josh asked me about my engine, it is still sitting there but I am not sure about selling it, always nice to have a spare engine

This one from Tampa for an 04

I had a 96 300ZX with Nitro years ago and messed up my block. Never run high performance with OEM crap! You probably had a rod give out on you due to fatigue. If you go Nitro, consider Crower rods.

Hey wats up man I actually heard about this at the gym with marcos(white 350z). I wouldnt go to japtrix, not a very good experience with them, plus their super freakin far. I found this shop called TAV racing in doral, they tuned my utec on my Z and holy crap is all I can say. Their also way cheaper then japtrix and they guy really knows his stuff. www.tavracing.net is the website for the info of the place when you find the motor. I hope you get this taken care of, I know how your feeling.

Chris I am usually an easy going guy and let things slide but your comments are totally unfounded and have no merit, through the last couple of years I think Japtrix has been more than fair with you both in what you were charged, how you were alowed to pay for things and how the shop stood behind the work, I don't think you would have gotten that treatment at any other performance shop. Your recent experiences are of a personal/business nature and not as a result of any of the work done at the shop if you don't want to brings things out in public then stick to facts.

Chris that's a very unfair statement you made here. Any other shop would have told you to go pound dirt. As westpak said stick to the facts before you bad mouth a shop on the internet.

I tried to keep it as clean as possible without going into details. If you were in my shoes you would do the same. It dies here sorry. Are you keeping the car. I may know of a place to get a oil consumption engine with 10-12k on it. According to the mechanic it wasn't that bad. He was offering it to me to build it it for my tt kit.

Stick to the subject, the guy needs help PLUS I can bad mouth them b/c THEY know what they did and how I got screwed so SPARE ME on your lame excuses. Ill be MORE then happy to publicly announce the facts, stop trying to call me a liar b/c I am most certainly not. Rico I know a couple of people that have access to a whole bunch of junkyards. Im gonna talk to them on monday if you have nothing by then and see if they can check on the computer and see if their is a z with the motor in the inventory, which im sure theyre is.

The motor is in palm beach. I think he wants around $700 for the long block no accessories. I'll have to check with him on monday. PM me a way to get in touch with you monday as I'll be out of town after that for a few weeks.
