Car: 2004 spec-v (vq swap in progress) . 1998 silverado 4x4. 1993 mustang, 1995 exploder

Hey, hows it goin everyone. New guy from South Carolina here. Former NAPA counterman, GM Tech, and now an employee for Caterpillar. My garage consists of my 2004 spec-v, 1998 K1500 4x4, 1995 exploder, 1993 mustang lx, and 1987 mustang gt t-top car.

Use to be in on the V-8 scene. Had a 98 cobra and a couple of other stangs. After looking around and going through a couple of trannies in the cobra I was looking for something different and a little less to mod with more of a "WOW didnt see that comin" when ya take out people at the track lol.

So anyway, few months pass, rode in a couple of friends cars, and here I end up. New guy doin a major project... Got the cobra out the driveway and invested in a 2004 spec-v. Bring it home and it starts ticking.... Sounded so light at first thought it may have had the wrong grade of gas in it and well anyway one thing leads to another, and here I am with a spun bearing in my qr25 and looking for a new motor... Saw online a couple of vq35 swaps and decided that was the way to go..

LOL short trip out of town. Im a VQ owner now.... complete wiring and all accecories manual bellhousing and all for it. Main ordeal I am having is need for some wiring help!! I have looked all over and cant find any diagrams on the swap to make it a little easier or maybe a small guide to ease installation. (Should have read up more before I got it) But I'm goin for it.

So my question for now is... Are there any guides or diagrams out there that I just havent found yet?? I have no problem doing the wiring but would love to have a suggested starting point. If not I will just end up getting some diagrams from Nissan and goin from there.

Also is there anyone on the forum that has done this swap that could give me a few tips...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry for not introducing myself more and getting streight to the questions but hopefully I can return the favor and help someone on here one day in return.

Thanks, -Trey

Look for a member named Trav4011. He pioneered the swap.

Good luck, and welcome to NICO!

Welcome to the club. Sounds like a awesome project. Man I'm jealous, I want a VQ in my B15.
