Hey everyone. IM Jeff. I live down in Tampa Fl. I finally decided to join these forums. I have been kinda just browsing them for a couple years and now doing a 240 (s14) vq35 swap. I bought the motor and transmission with 80k miles on it. Before i put the motor and transmission in the car id like input on what i should change out, adjust etc for a 100k motor. Any input would be great . Thnaks

Welcome to NICO!

Is the engine still out of the car? I suggest some general maintenance. Timing belt (if there isn't a chain), front and rear main seals, vacuum hoses, oil pan gasket, anything in the rear of the engine that you can't reach once its in the car. Couldn't hurt to replace the spark plugs either.

Also, PHOTOS!!!

yes I'm replacing the spark plugs, possibly the water pump and changing fluids. The motor is still out of the car
