praise the lord, the engine is done. It starts and runs and idles and all, i have a few loose ends such as the catch can and such but nothing major. Now i can paint this f@cker and take it to the track. Will be getting the radiator support powdercoated soon as well Heres some pics
Should be able to take it for a spin around the block at least tommorow, just have to clean up this mess

Well busy weekend, got the front end mocked up and hood pins installed and pretty much got eberything mechanical wise put together.
Which culminated in this
YouTube - VH45de S14 first drive again 2008
The whine you hear is the p/s pump as i had no fluid in the system, We ended up removing everything that wasnt bolted down and took it for a spin, unfortunatly the vid is pretty uneventful. When i was further from my neighborhood i opened her up, it will destroy 315 azenis from a roll in second gear and if you go first thru third its amazing, i couldnt take it out too long as it was getting dark, but all in all great ride Heres some more pics
Serious buisness

Just watched the vid....car sounds awesome. I'm looking forward to some in-car vids.So did the later headlights and fenders just bolt on? I've always liked the front end of the final 240sx.

Well made it to the dyno today, did a couple of pulls with a few different tunes.1st pull base line, headers / exhaust 
2nd pull left the vtc till redline no other changes, picked up a few hp up top tq remained the same
3rd pull vtc was stock a few degrees of timing and a little leaner
Big diference in tq below 4000. Best pull of the the night.
So the most power was 283hp 293wtq. I think with a little more fine tuning 300whp 300lbft tq is very achievable, we shall see. Ill have the .drf's tommorow and can over lay the 3 on winpep. Heres some vids

Wow...nice numbers. That might be the most power out of a NA VH45DE we've seen posted on NICO so far. Regardless, those are strong numbers and make me jealous!  My Q could definitely use nearly 300rwhp...or more.

Got the files and better graphs today, just for fun heres the new motor baseline vs my original setup basiclly 100kmile motor (red) vs 227kmile motor (blue). Much better to start with.
Heres the baseline pull (blue) vs the vtc turned off ( red) made about an 8hp increase up top. This new motor is running a little rich for some reason, dont know if the wideband from the dyno was good though, got to check a few things on the engine.
This is a tune with timing and fuel made the best increases down low almost 40lbft of tq below 4000rpm.

so does the VVT on these engines work continuously like on the VQ35DE or is it an on/off 20 degree switch? I've searched and can't find an answer. I wonder because I saw your VVT on/off dyno. If this is a case I wonder if one of the continuously variable pulleys could be retrofitted
...oh, and your car is beautiful dude! My goal is to have a project just like yours!
I've had good luck with own made intakes with putting velocity stacks on them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ories I realize your probably not going to run with just a MAF on the end of your intake tube all the time....

A tad off topic but is there any block adapters that will work like the tomei one for the SR20 to relocate the filter and hook up an oil cooler? http://www.frsport.com/Tomei-1....html

Well ill be updating here in the coming weeks, the car is almost done and coming out awesome i might add. I cant wait to get this out on the track.I will be probably spraying some nitrous thru this when i go to the drag strip, we shall see. As for the oil relocation kit, the oil filter is the same as the 300zx and probably the skyline as well. So any relocation kit for either of those cars will work. Just cross reference the oil filter and if they are the same part number, there you go.
