Hello everyone. :-)
I own a 93 Nissan Pathfinder 4WD, with automatic transmission RE4R01A, that I love.

I found a 2002 VQ35DE coming from a second gen Pathfinder, together with it's own ECU and wiring harness.
I would like to swap this engine into my 93 Pathy. I know that putting a VG33 would be a much easier job, but I would like to put the VQ35.

I would like to ask for every advice possible for this swap. And possibly to have some links where to see, with pictures or videos would be great, how the jow was done. Every kind of help will be apreciated.
Thank you in advance. :wavey:

What is the situation of the current engine in the pathfinder? It has the VG33?
My advice is to forget the engine swap and find a VG33 if you need a new engine. It will save you a world of pain.
