you dropped off an engine with no idea of what it was going to cost to rebuild? I would have wanted to have a reasonable idea based on the basics then extras from there.

$6500 doesn't seem out of the questions for a TD42 rebuild.

considering nissan were selling bare td42 and td42t motors for $5500 not too long ago i would think that was a bit pricey

Quite often manufactureres sell engines cheaper than they can be reconditioned. Look at the 3.0L Diesel. If you do a full rebuild on a TD 42 and it is high mileage so you have do reface and reharden the rocker gear faces and buy oil pumps and resize rods, tunnel bore deck replace liners and so on and so on it will cost $6500 or more .

So what did they quote you before you dropped it off?

Seems to me that the question wasn't asked ?


Could be wrong though.

I'd have a closer look at the invoice to see where the money went. But that kind of money isn't unheard of.

What surprises me is it took 6 months to do.

$1000 for labor sounds fair, $4000 for machine work does sound a bit exy though.

twas nissan at/near archerfield, they had a motor sitting on the floor with a sign on it saying $5500, i asked about it and they confirmed that both the td42 and td42t motors were the same price, these are bare motors , no glow plugs,pumps, lines etc. , they also had bare zd30 motors for $6500 and was the updated motor,

this was about 14 months ago now tho
