I believe the donor car is sitting on the left there… and last I check, that’s not a 350Z.

well, the vq35 is in the 350Z, but in a RWD config, OBV. Im sure it would be possible to RWD the sentra… so you aren’t totally out to lunch…

if he can get it to hook it will be kwik…but if not which i doubt if will be better off on zee highway…i bet its easier to swap in a sentra than a 4th gen maxima…fucking ECU crap…there are only like 2 guys with 4th gens runn 100% CVT…the rest are not which makes no sense…i try telling them they are better off trying to get the vq35 ecu to work with the accessories and what not in the 4th gen than it is to get a 4th gen (vq30) non CVT to work with teh vq35…sorry for the ramble had to let gooooooo

update: car went to the track, IIRC-the best time it pulled was a 2.0 60, 13.9 at 105  
chirping into 4th gear

the engine is stock except for a fabricated cold air intake and cat back exhaust  
:tup:

edit- i just double checked, it didnt go 13.9, it went 12.9 in the 1/4

:lol: It’s faster than the guys with all the bolt-ons and a 50 shot…

BTW, for those who don’t know, Nissan uses the VQ35 in the Maxima, 350Z, Altima, Quest, and the Murano…
