    I just did my jdm vq35de swap on my 350z early this January! Got my engine from jdm west coast and I couldn’t be happier. Mine came with the clutch and clutch plate! Man it was a headache I ended up putting the engine and trans together at the same time aligning them separate was impossible.

    • @CameronAlford
      @CameronAlford  5 лет назад

      So do you recommend pulling the transmission out with the motor and connecting them outside of the car?

    • @qweeftomeetu
      @qweeftomeetu 5 лет назад

      Cameron Alford sorry actually I did end up putting them separate. The subframe and power steering rack wouldn’t let me clear the tranny to go down. So what we ended up doing was going under the car pushing the tranny as close to the engine as we could getting two bolts then bringing it down. Then we connected the drive shaft.(which was the hardest part)

    • @qweeftomeetu

      To start I replaced all the sensors and wiring harness including fuel rail and injectors( put my old ones). Except my nox sensor. Changed my valve covers( make sure you guys check those!) oh and checked the compression. Everything was good!

    When the head gaskets went on my high mileage DE, I dropped my z off at Z1 for upgraded cams/heads package, and headers install. You have options, but an engine swap is probably most reliable, especially when the donor car is low mileage.

    I got lucky enough to score a low mileage HR. Looking at what I have to do if this engine ever let's go is go straight to a 2jz or ls. I appreciate giving some info on where to find some decent jdm engines!

  • @Parahlyzd
    @Parahlyzd 3 года назад

    jus to clear something up the jdm import motors all low mileage like that because of emissions in japan. after about 50k miles they wont pass emissions there so either they have to replace the motor or get a new car because they don't maintain there vehicles like we do here.

    Lol the 50k mile motor from Japan because there is some law that penalizes citizens for "milage cars" has to be the greatest advertising scheme in human history. LMAO 🙃🙃🙃!! I mean people have been saying this since the 90's and some how all of the sr20's still have less than 50k miles? 🤔🤔🤔... Junkyard motors are basically what they are. Do yourself a favor, you and the mad scientist rip apart the block and replace the Pistons rings so you don't have the oil consumption issue and turbo it
