Having lost a very well maintained relatively low miles 03 2.5L Altima to the infamous precat failure, I speak from personal experience. Have a 2011 bitog post, 'No more Nissans for me' documenting my experience.
So if you meet all the 2.5L qualifications, ie., all original emission precats, you sir have hit Nissan lottery with this engine and vehicle. And even bigger congratulations on that.
Thanks for the pics.
I should clarify. It did have the precat failure in 2011. As soon as I got the P0420 code, I immediately replaced it with a header. If I would have kept that failing precat in there, it would have destroyed the motor. I'm very big on preventative maintenance.
