It's been awhile since I've been on here, but lately I've been up to something you guys might like to see. I've already installed the drivetrain from a 2004 350Z into an S13 hatch. The wiring will be finished within the next week or so. I have pictures on the camera and just need to post them to the sight. I hope you guys enjoy this. I know the kid I'm building it for will!!! Thanks!

Swap Details:

Rebuilt VQ35DE, ported and polished
Rebuilt 6-Speed
350Z ECU + Wiring Harness
Custom Shifter
Custom Mounts

I dont know if anyone has done this yet, but it should be considered prior to any rb or sr swap!!!

Later!!

KA24DE Fuel Rail and Z32 Fuel Filter

3 mudflaps from S13 coupe

Keep us updated and post some pics!!

Good job though.

The shifter is custom, shelby style.
The mounts are custom (of course)
THe electric throttle is being used, with the wiring having been seperated from an origional nissan dash harness.
The exhaust will be customer headers with a crossover pipe to N1 s13 cat back
The Intake will be custom. Havent stafted that yet.

Not much to see at this moment. Just an engine and transmission sitting in a car....big woop. I know, but give me a few days and I'll have more for you. \

Thanks guys

Thanks for the support gang!!!!

Oh, and by the way, this is the first 240sx VQ35DE conversion to be done using a stock computer. That allows me to lower install prices for anyone who wants this swap done. Early qoutes of $10K-$20K.....no more. Try $6K-$7K. Sound good?

Nice start, though. Sounds like you've got a great plan.

Shifter troubles....its actually about 1 foot back!!! No problem, I'm fabing up the linkage soon. I'll post a pic prior to installing it.

Will need to shave this lip off the front of the motor to clear the sway bar.

Electronic throttle pedal assembly installed. Not a whole lot to see.

One of two wiring nightmares. The 350Z/G35 Coupe engine harness also houses much of the wires that already exist in the 240sx body harness....just cut them off........not necessarily, much of the ECU's programing relies on information from other systems through the CAN lines. Eleminating them might not hurt too much, but could also set the ecu to fail safe.....2500 max rpm...not good.

Later gang, hope your enjoying this as much as I am!!!

Keep us updated with pics and info.

Almost all of the wires you see in the above pics now have tags on them telling me where they go. The DLC has been seperated and ready for installation. Basically waiting on the sheet metal to finalize the engine and trans mounts so I can install the starter and fire this baby up!
The shifter will be getting dropped off at my machine shop in the next few days.

Thanks for following.

For everyone following, I appreciate the response. I wish I had more time to work on this project, and at the same time, I wish that car was out of my 2nd bay, I could turn twice the hours at work if it were gone.

Anyone interested, I'll say this, the majority of the wiring goes through connectors M72/F102, E12, and E10. Dont bother with the Z car oil pressure sending unit, it goes to the unified meter which I dont have. Get a fitting and use the 240 unit. Oh, and ground all the wires on F103. After that, its only adding a few fuses and solding about 75 wires.

Hopefully tomorrow I will get this all soldered up and post pics.

Again, thanks everyone for following this.

Finally got to do some wiring today. I still have about 20 more wires to for the BCM and transmission switches, but thats about it. The DLC is in and fully functional as you can see (Consult II hooked up and working). Oh, and for future reference of anyone who is planning this......G35 and 350Z wiring harnesses have all the same connectors...but the wires arent the same.....not even located in the same connector!!!! I know, this swap is using three different wiring harnesses, so I've had to re-pin about 35% of it.

E10/E11/E12 These three are like E8 and E9 from the 240 harness.

These Red and Blue wires are twisted together from the factory for a reason, they are the CAN lines. A must have.

Consult II has power, this is a good thing. So far so good.

Consult II system call. For Nissan/Infiniti techs, you know this means a connection to the control systems is being made. Basically its checking for what all systems are present and if it can access them.

Data Monitor showing me my accelerator pedal is working, my sensors are registering (KOEO) status, and also the DTC report. Only a few, mainly unneeded codes. ASCD is cruise, not on this car. Fuel level Sen/Cir not needed to the ECM but will be hooked up just to avoid the code. IAT sens/cir located in the MAF not yet installed. NATS Malfunction.......a big code. This is why I am using a BCM and installed a NATS amplifier. The need for registered keys is what this code is all about.

Another pic of the already cluttered engine bay. There is a belt on the motor going to the alternator. This location may only be temporary as we may be installing A/C.

Thats it for now.

Later gang!

Tell me about it! Still not done.
