That VQswap.com "kit" looks like ass. After fabbing some decent motor mounts, shifter housing, and getting a driveshaft, the BIG project is wiring (if you're trying to keep the stock ECU). Here's a very good thread from NICO about the wiring dilemma:

The initial basic kit ain't cutting it for $1,200. Shouldn't the "basic" kit include, you know the "basic" stuff you'll need to get the swap going? If I bought that kit i'll need WAY more to get the swap done. I couldn't even crank it if I wanted. With the basic kit it's just too much for so little.

Wait the kit DOESN'T come with motor mounts? Sheesh....

I guess it could be called the adapter kit.....

[Neejay]

Wow, I didn't realize that kit didn't come with motor mounts and I've been watching it for a while now.

[Nikeboy355]

I believe you run the stock 350Z engine mounts...
