I just blew the motor in my 350z, so I'm in the market for a new motor. The question for my fellow Nico members is when I find a new motor how can I ensure I'm buying one out of a 350z, and not a detuned version out of another one of nissans cars? For example, a VQ out of a G35 sedan which makes 265 hp as opposed to the G coupe's 293 hp.

Uh, are you buying this on the black market or what? I would hope whomever you are buying an engine from would be honest about the history of the engine and have documented prove of where it came from.

People lie, if you can't cover you own a** than no one will.

If you can't allready tell, I have been screwed over one to many times, and I'm not dumb enought to make the same mistake twice
