All i can say is WOW
Very sweet, I was dropped jaw when I saw the VQ 
Where did you find one and how much did it set you back?
good to see that motor getting put to good use. . .this is something I’d still like to start again and finish one day. . .
can’t wait to see this monster 
Nice!
got if from nismo240r gave me a pretty sweet deal on every thing.
3000 for the motor swap kit , and a bunch of other misc
Alright so today was frame rail transplant day over all went fairly well had some trouble with the welder tho but that’s ok will fix it up in the next couple days.
heres the pics no action shots due to lack of helpers lol
so the start old frame rail with the lip exsposed so i know where to cut
rail cut and started prying away from floor
one good kick and presto
all that is holding it up is one spot weld that i busted with a chisel
rail detached
side by side old rail and new
the damage
sweet pick i took while eatting my lunch
cleaned up the floor so i had a nice contact area for welding
New rail held up into its new home !
had a slight gap that i had to pound down with a hammer to get a nice tight fit
20 mins later after beating the piss out of it
from inside the engine bay this is the part that gets all the heat form the factory down pipe that is the cause of the rust
rear section fitment
and then tacked on on both sides
have to find out why i was having trouble with the welder i think it was the ground but i moved it and even cleaned new areas for it but still no help .
hope to have my crap welds gridded down and then have some nice ones put over top next week .

DOOD!! … nice work! I would love to help with something like this … Im a Millwright by trade so im good on a wrench and I can weld like a freak so if you need an extra hand lemme know … so cool to see this kind of build
Nice work!
thanks guys and i migth take you up on that some time Bernie
just PM me … I would love to help. Get that beast up and running ASAP
Plus … I would love to learn more about the VQ … I have plans of my own … Stillen Supercharger is in my future so some hands on exp with engine management and just general layout of the engine would yield alot of help to me later on
Thats alot of work. Nice job

wow, that is crazy!! good luck, i have a feeling your going to need it haha
haha thanks man 
mainly just need $$ lol
well test fitted the sub frame and it fits like a glove.
but the new engine mount points on the sub frame were caked in under coating spray
and i wanted to see the quality of the welds under the coating so i took a wire wheel to it and holy hell this stuff was strong it took an hour to expose the weld surface.
and just as i thought they were shit
not sure why the sun is pink in the pic haha but what ever you can see how crappy the weld is
So i decided i want to strip the entire sub frame and re coat it in some thing better.
as takign a wire wheel to it was damn near impossible and i wasn’t paying 300+ bucks to get it acid dipped.
i met up with my paint sales rep and he gave me this stuff to try
now it says it does epoxy and even baked on coating AKA powder coating ( BS right ) . but it was free so gave it a shot
so this is where i tried
so pasted it on let it sit for a bit
took a putty nice to it after 8mins ! and holy shit ! it worked !
so i caked more stuff on and let it sit for about 15mins and then went scrapping.
after i got the majority off i scrubed it with some simple green and then just rinsed it off with water after and then took a wire brush to it for a few mins and this is what i ended up with 
all in all worked awesome
but got lots more to do hahaha
oh well

I remember seeing a while ago, some process where a dude put his subframe in plastic tub on his driveway. Hooked the subframe to a battery, and whatever shit was inside the tub ate all the shit off of it. Saw it on Zilvia or NICO or something. I think one of the Lethbridge guys on Driftwest did this too.
