Hi guys. My sister has a pasaeo 93 model. From researhc its a 1.5L el44 motor? Its a 4 sp auto (3sp + o/drive?). Anyway, problem was same as my 300zxTT. White smoke clouds the street on start up, after driving for about 10 mins the smoke settles. Anyway, piston ring is the culprit. Mechanic said 1500$-2500$ to find and replace motor. I said i can buy a whole pasaeo for that. Anyway, where can i find a replacement motor? Or a different motor to fit in here? What motor should i be searching around for? And is it a day job to swap the small motors out/in? I will do it myself with a mate. If i was to put it for sale, how much could i get for it? It is in RWC condition and will pass. All brake pads are brand new and new rotors all around. Car was just major serviced and all new belts too. Is it worth me wrecking the car and selling parts of on this forum? Cheers in advanced.
