**LOOKING FOR USED VQ35!!!
Anyone have a used or even new VQ35 engine from a 350z, the dealership near my house want a fortune, I’d rather go a little cheaper, although if I cant find one used, I’m gonna have to settle for a brand new one from the dealership for 10 grand they said without tranny, I think its a little too much, but whatever, if its brand new its all good, thought I see if anyone has a used one first before I go drop 10 gs on a stock engine without tranny. PM me or just post a response if you got any ideas or have on for sale personally. thanks guys, oh, and any suggestions on what route to go with, feel free to leave a few words.
lol bro 10 g’z is a bit much you can find one much cheaper
have you considered rebuilding yours it will a hell of alot cheaper. Check in with SG motorsport, the specialize in VQs and had some laying around the shop they might sell.
is that the same engine in the g35? if it is I may know someone selling one.
I got a quote from collins nissan in st. catharines, they said 10gs without tranny, I was like, WHOOA, it aint even turbo’d, nor trainy, oh, and its for a vq conversion into an s14
Yea, g35, 350z, few others aswell.
Oh and by the way, it aint urgent, looking around, if one pops up with a good price, then hell yea, money is always there, just not in a rush to settle for a high price, if ya know what I mean.
if your gunna drop the coin, go with the HR motor
iirc it was in the 05/06 + or somewhere in that area
thanks for the input, I have found a few places to get the engine itself without all the accessories like starter, etc for 1500, in the states, called cherry autoparts, aswell as a few others who have contacted me with good deals with tranny, wayyyyyy under 10 grand, I guess the fact that it would have been new, and nissan is the manufacturer, probably play a factor in that 10 grand price tag. But I was talking to the shop in the states, and apparently VQs and SRs are old news? what are people doing these days for engine swaps, personally, I was too young to do a VQ swap when it was all the craze, so I’m doing it now, & I’m not going to change my mind, I almost decided to go SR since it was more available and popular, but I gotta go back to my first idea, my first ambition to do a VQ, might aswell do it, and see how it turns out, time isn’t a big deal, I could always do another swap further down the road, but for now, its a VQ, so please no temptations to try & change my mind. Thanks for the words, I want to keep this forum open as long as I possibly can because I want to hear what people have to say about this swap, so all words & any words are welcome, just regardlest if a person who knows nothing, or a person who knows all is posting, noone make fun or insult anyone, we are all here because we like cars, driving them & working on them, & the point of forums is to educate the uneducated & to ignite the minds of the ignorant, so please, keep your insults for your wives or girlfriends.
there is a smashed 03 350z on autotrader for 7 and change and it;s a complete car says it runs and drives
