depends how much you like the car, at that mileage, its not really worth it unless you like it. BUT you can swap a j35a3 in for less than 500$. all your j32 parts will swap over and save you money.

I'm surprised the engine even lasted that long, to be honest.

And what is an oil filter adapter gasket? You mean the actual oil filter failed? What brand of filter were you using?
I guess I do still hear something new everyday.

I have no idea what you're talking about, to be honest. I've never noticed what you're saying, and I've never heard of anyone else suffering a failure of that nature. Something isn't adding up, but regardless...

Dang, would've been cheaper to take the day off work, or grab a taxi.. Anyway, compared to the cost of a new car, its a TRUCK LOAD of money cheaper to swap in the J35 motor. Especially since you already know the car and where its been.

Some lessons are learned the hard way... and this is one of them.... Type S engine are not totally common so J35A3 swap is best bet
