Hey all. Wondering if anybody has, or knows anywhere there is a cheapish (good running) VG30... 3L petrol V6 for an early 90's terrano for sale in Christchurch? Have qty 1 sick truck needing a new donk. Cheers, Rhys

yep find one out of a maxima alot cheaper. just note that the maxima is fwd configuration so you may have to swap accesories e.t.c

I've got one you in a truck running that I'll rip out for you. But it is in Whangarei so will cost a fortune to ship.

Yeah it will cost a bit to ship down here, but cheers anyway. Have found a wrecking terrano but dunno engine condition. Never done engine transplant before (have mates that have) so will be a good learning curve
