Who's still on their first engine?

D3stro · 2006-12-09 12:17:27

I'm wondering on many people are still running their V on the first engine, that's never been change or had precat failure? It seems that most of the time, we only hear about the bads stories and the QR just seem to be the worst POS engine of all time because of those. So, if yes you're still on your first and how much miles or kilometer on it you got.

For me, still on the first at 79 495 km or 49 684 miles.

STEVEO · 2006-12-09 12:37:09

im still on my first with 27,000 miles... still have the stock header in too, its getting changed out next week though

SpecV44 · 2006-12-09 13:12:42

Im still good on mine, no header change, no butterfly screw loctite, almost 14k But that is probably why I havent had anything happen yet lol.

06massholespecV · 2006-12-09 13:45:04

04 Spec V had 40,000 still had its first engine
06 Spec V has 8,600 and counting

Just bought a NISMO Header for her......its her X-mas present....I"m spending more on a X-mas present on my car then my g/f.

wonderduck · 2006-12-09 14:13:05

03 here, 44000 first engine, that just got boost

spec6spd · 2006-12-09 14:31:36

96,000 miles here...never loctite my butterflys or anything! Boosting in the near future, but it won't be on this motor...so if any of you just have qr's laying around...let me know

cute02spec · 2006-12-09 14:44:36

'02 Spec -- Original engine, ~21k miles on stock header, now 38k miles... NO ISSUES! Race, abused, never has missed a beat
'05 SE-R -- Original engine, ~21k miles on stock header, flutterbies still not locktited, now 21,700 miles.. driven over 70 miles a day, 5 days a week

Hahah, funny thing about this thread... the other day I wanted to start a thread saying "My car is running just fine" just to prove how retarded it was to say that all '02s and Specs in general are bad cars. Truth is, the overwhelming majority of the owners of these cars are not on the forums, nor would they come on there and say that their car was just fine.

gurov · 2006-12-09 14:45:43

89k miles, 45k when boosted, 10k when all the na mods were installed on it. 12 psi of fun.

wooo

pregunta · 2006-12-09 15:20:12

Stock engine here. May need a new headgasket but otherwise all is well.
39k on it about 15k of it boosted.

02specv · 2006-12-09 15:23:42

CoSpecV · 2006-12-09 15:54:15

Icedog03 · 2006-12-09 16:04:22

Beow · 2006-12-09 17:22:44

Vorspiel · 2006-12-10 14:15:24

Mine was on it's 3rd engine and 2nd tranny. All of you who havn't/refuse to locitite your screws or get a catless header are seriously crazy. It's NOT WORTH THE RISK.

TurboSpecV · 2006-12-10 14:18:48

2005 spec v 39,000 miles. 5,000 miles turboed. first engine

Spencey · 2006-12-10 14:22:10

17,2xx on mine now, original engine and tranny. I just got the header on yesterday, so I don't have that to worry about anymore.

wow 3 motors thats pretty crazy. im sure the nissan dealership loves you

Vorspiel · 2006-12-10 16:30:51

All that happened before I got the car. When I had it, it was ok. The P.O. was a Nissan Mech though.

vibspecv · 2006-12-10 17:37:16

My 03 has 52000kms...no problems...to be boosted in the spring

Strychnine · 2006-12-10 18:13:52

Nissan replaced my engine before it has 20 miles on it, now about 3,000 miles later I need ANOTHER one.

Hell if I know man. Every dealer I took it to says nothing is wrong, even though I bring up the fact that oil consumption has been a problem with these engines for 4 years now, but they always tell me "since Nissan recalled your engine, and replaced it before it was sold all of those recalls don't effect your engine, so we have to look at it like a new problem"

I just don't get it. It'd be different if I was out beating the shit out of it everyday, but I don't. So I don't see why I'm having these problems. I also noticed that the sound of the engine is different than my girlfriend's SE-R, both are stock, '06s, bought from the same dealer within a week, and both were recalled and replaced with new engines, hell they're both even the same color! But mine sounds totally different, like some kind of "puttering" sound.

jhspecv86 · 2006-12-10 18:39:08

2nd Engine, lost 1st at about 33k due to Timing Chain spapping on cruise control .
Butterfly recall done and had Header installed year ago, no problems since then.

melly mel · 2006-12-11 10:01:10

'03. First motor with 58,XXX miles on it. 3rd owner of the car, no problems whatsover. Screws were all there when I loctite them. Header was replaced at 45,000.

MrRage · 2006-12-11 12:27:06

62,XXX kms on my 05. I changed the Header and Butterflies at 6000kms and never looked back. I drive it like I stole it and It's tracked all the time. She just turned a year old in October.. I'd say everything is good.

p.s. 62,XXX km's = 38XXX miles

MrsRage · 2006-12-11 13:46:14

Just got my brand new engine in about a month ago. Working great. About to get header in (rage-rman...still waiting...) and butterfly screws will be done very soon...

I got my engine replaced this summer. The screw got me last year but I was still able to drive it for a year. It finally gave up this year. I am still under 60.000 so it was covered by the waranty

timmay · 2006-12-11 15:21:14
