> $2k-2.5k (last I knew) for Turbo or SC, $3k or so for a full VQ35 swap (slight built so it can handle some HP - 2002+ Maxima) and a couple other hundred(s) for things like exhaust, etc. Another $2k-2.5k if you decide to go 5 or 6spd.

Where the hell are you finding a full vq35de (or hr) swap for $3k? I was thinking about swapping a vq35 into my 240z before I saw the going price. Last I saw JUST the longblock was going for around $3k.

Edit: Oh, and a stock vq35de can handle 375-400whp stock, wouldn’t built it unless you’re shooting for more.
