Why and where of locating used Nissan Engines

Why should anyone be interested in finding a used Nissan engine? The answer is obvious - to replace his old car engine without burning his pocket! And if we are talking about used Nissan engines here, we must assume that:

  • You own a Nissan
  • You are a long haul car user
  • You are looking for an engine that clocked minimum miles since the efficiency of engine declines with the miles it travels.

The cost advantage

It is common knowledge that with new cars costing a fortune, it is most cost effective to keep the old one running as long as possible! Old Nissan engines are economic in the long haul but not that much fuel efficient for short distance transportation compared to other Japanese cars. For example, while a new Nissan would cost you anything between $12000 and $35000 in the or between 40000 AED and 180000 AED in the Arab nations, an engine replacement with used engines in workable condition would cost you just a few hundred US dollars or a few thousand AEDs.

Where to find them?

If we analyze the car usage patterns worldwide, then we will find that in Japan cars usually get replaced every five years and the average annual mileage logged is 15000 miles. So a used Japanese car logs less than 75000 miles. Statistically, the cars of 1960’s have an average lifetime of 100K miles, but with the use of better anti-corrosion measures and other technological improvements in manufacturing, an average engine manufactured in 2000 has an average life of around 200K miles. Of course, this is an average; a retired Mercedes-Benz 240D model now in Mercedes-Benz museum has logged 28,58,307 miles. So the guideline is, try to get used Nissan engines from Japan. If that is not possible, at least procure one from a spare dealer who procure spares worldwide.

The quality issue

However, procuring used car engines from the junkyard is not an easy job. If you are not a pro at testing compression or recognizing the sound of bad rod bearings, you’re sure to burn your fingers. The next best option is to find reliable dealers of used car spares. With this segment of the market expanding, some of the companies have built good reputations and have become brands in their own right. They operate globally and offer refurbished, tested and professionally checked supplies worldwide. And used Nissan engines and spares are usually on their offer list.
