everyone post what you see for sale there.

I'll go first:

 

3.3 liter SOHC V6, Nissan VG33E

 

This is just to make sureI wasn't seeing things when we bought it. I just received a 2.2ltr Nissan twin cam truck motor.

its supposed to be. What I received was a useless 4 banger.

[Lustalbert]

you are just not having any luck with this vehicle.

[Guest powers]

maybe this is the gas effecient version?

Um FUCK! what are they going to do for you ?

[MrMeanGreen]

Seems like a legit business with pretty good feedback.

 

Maybe it's a mistake and some part-time HS kid packed the wrong engine? Contact them with an open mind before jumping their shit. They'll probably resolve it in your favor smile.gif

Done....well, waiting to hear their return call. I think they may have listed the engine wrong, since, thanks to Browning here, I've found all the ID numbers to line up in favor of it being a bloody 4 banger. In all reality, the ad is completely accurate accept for the most important part; "3.3 SOHC 6 cyl (VG33E), VIN "E"" (4th digit)"

 

God damnit, god god god god fucking damnit. I'm going to fucking kill myslef.

 

On the upside, I have never recieved anything so quickly in my life, this motor may be wrong, but it rode a fucking laser beam from Chicago to here.

do a search on www.car-part.com

 

I searched Ohio, PA, and Indiana, found about 8 or so ranging from $900 to over $2k I think. Check the carfax thread

They title for it says "3.3SOHC V6" too.

 

Hope they get it straightened out.

 

EDIT: This sucks dude. They specifically say the fourth digit is an E, designating that engine. But the VIN they give definitely doesn't have an E as the fourth digit. You can get the free carfax thing, which just tells you what kind of car it is. That says the VIN given in that ebay add is for a "2.4L L4". I just saw browning's post, what he said is consistent with this too. double

just talked to them, they are going to try and find me a comperable motor. If unable, we get a refund. Blows, but hopefully it'll work out.

[Black ITR Guy]

but then what do you have to do with the motor they sent you. keep it or send it back to them?

is there something wrong with it? why would you lose sleep over selling it if you list it correctly.

[Science Abuse]

the fact that I'd be either getting a refund or another motor fromt he vendor, therefore technicaly stealing the 4cyl.

[Black ITR Guy]

well if he dont ask for it its technically not stealing is it?

something of value that I didn't pay for = conscience.

besides, who wants a 143hp truck motor?

Try to get your money back by filling a buyer complaint with paypal (if this is how you paid) This always makes the buyer work to try to make things right, otherwise he doesnt get the money for his item.
