Million to one chance. Just get an adaptor and make new mounts like the rest of us.

I've heard that the "later" VQ35 is supposed to have the same bolt pattern as the VKs but I'm not sure if later is the HR motor or the newer one with dual intake manifolds. Also there is a truck motor VQ40DE which reportedly shares the VK pattern. This is all hearsay since i have never seen all of these before so I couldn't compare them. I recently got an '06 G35 Coupe but I am not taking the trans off any time soon

Actually, the one with dual intake manifolds IS the HR.

Right, I meant to say Rev-up motor, which is what I think mine is ('06, G35 Coupe 6MT). Somehow, HR came out (kinda like when you sexually harass someone at work).

ha! awesome.... but yeah, im sad to say that it looks like therye quite different looking at the FSMs for both cars (02 Q45 & 03 350Z) trans bell housing bolt torque sequences.... bummer

unless the diagram photos are terribly inaccurate. no dice

and yeah, not to say it couldnt still be done, but from a $$$/HP-TQ ratio, its now a much less appealing idea...

thx guys

Well let's settle this one and for all...
