My crappy auto transmission in the Z32 finally blew so now its time for the VH45DE swap. I already have a dixon adapter plate and I can get the Z32 MT easily but now that I am finally ready to buy a VH45DE, I can't seem to find a complete motor with sensors, EFI harness, and ECU anywhere. I see only one VH 45 right now on ebay and it looks like it has accessories but not ECU or harness. Does anyone know a good shop to buy a front clip or motorset from? I am looking for the earlier motor with the siamese ports (89-93?).

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I need this in a rush and I need everything that it takes to get this running since its going into a different car. If it's disassembled, missing sensors, accessories, or for some reason I'm not gonna be able to run it shortly after I uncrate it, then I am not interested.

Talk about bad timing...

Granted you may want a 90-94 and you also just missed a few good deals on those as well. Keep looking. Craigslist has some too.

Thanks for the tips. It seems craigslist has nothing nearby me. I have to figure out how to search nationwide... there are a few here on ebay but they are not complete with wire harness and ECU and the sellers will not guarantee they are exactly as shown in the pictures (which means they might even be missing sensors etc...)

The one you linked to was a '97 so I think that was a VH41DE anyway, and I am looking for a 45 because I already have the VH45 to Z32 M/T adapter plate (plus there is no replacement for displacement ). Thanks, I will keep looking.

Call Carlos @ SOKEN: 1-800-598-3535

Tell him Greg from Phoenix AZ sent you. He has VH's all the time, I bought 2 from them.

If he doesn't have a harness, we have several Q's being parted out here on the forums.

Ok thanks. I am waiting for a friend of mine to get back to me by end of day today (eastern time). If he doesn't have any leads I'll call Carlos. There is a time difference anyway so I might still catch him before he leaves work.

Thanks

I found it and I sent the guy an email. I will call him tomorrow since its much too late now. Thanks for the heads up man. I wish craigslist would let you search nationwide or AT LEAST entire states
