Okay,
A friend of mine bought a 89' 300ZX TT, Auto about 4 months ago, he's driven it about 1 month before it stopped on the side of the road (apparently a timing belt) It's done just over 100,000kms since new.
He took it back to where he bought it, and they claimed he "cooked" the engine? WTF ? Now they are saying he needs a new one and they're gonna charge him $7000 for a new VG30DETT?
My Question is:
_Assuming_ it overheated etc, which is still not proven... could the dealer be pulling our chain?
Would it be better to "rebuild" the engine ? After it was "cooked" ?
Would it be better to find a new engine from another 300zx ?
and WHO would you all here recommend to do the work?
TIA Guys
