Actually I took off the oil pan and the Connecting rods are rusted... So literally everything in this engine has to be replaced.

And I have the number. I just want to track down the year and such

Ok so since I really don't have the money needed to rebiluild this engine right now. Ive been working on cleaning things up, to make everything easier down the road.

So I ordered some vht spraypaint online just so I could spray some of the main parts while I waited. Turns out this paint requires you to take the surface down to bare metal!

So I bought some aircraft paint remover and took forever to get the base black paint off of the balance tube. But it was definitely well worth it. After 5 coats of paint and an hour in the oven... The color is an exact match to the car color! WIN

Gotta love amazon paint gamb|ing

Oh yeah, that looks nice!
Thanks for the mention on the vht online, didn't think about that looking for more color options in vht paint.

Yeah all I did was go on amazon and type in vht blue and found this. Its anodized blue. It goes on Crome or bare metal surfaces

I know how to find the cars vin. I want to track the engine code. To find more Info on it for parts ordering.

Code is: VG30 947068W

Oh umm, I'd call a nissan dealership on that one. I'm at a loss on figuring that out. I feel like there's a "vin decoder" or something like that where part of the vin matches up with the engine number. I don't know where I saw that though.

I called z1. Apparently the only real change is the fuel injectors... So it really doesn't matter for someone that is going to do an engine rebuild
