As the VK45 engine becomes more popular for swaps, I have been fielding questions on the compatibility of accessories. I wanted to create a reference we could link to; and hopefully serve as a resource for owners wanting to do part replacements on OEM applications.

First on the list is starters. Here are the part numbers of the 4 different starters used in VK45DE applications:

1. 23300-EH000
23300-EH000 was replaced by 23300-EH00A

• Y50 platform Infiniti M45 RWD (2006-2010)
• Y50 platform Nissan Fuga 450

2. 23300-AR000 "JDM starter"

• F50 platform Nissan President/Cima (includes VK45DD)
• Y50 platform Infiniti M45x AWD (2008-2010)

3. 23300-AR200
23300-AR200 was replaced by 23300-AR20A

• F50 platform Infiniti Q45 (2002-2006)
