1995 S14 VQ35DE Swap

What the fuck? Why is this in tech? And why are your headlights black? Do you only drive your car in rap videos?

well i am real sorry my post is not living up to your dreams and expectations
this is my first post and i was(and still am) having a hard time using the site the forum i use the most has a page for "project cars" i did not see that so i guessed. Maybe when i am 22 years old and all grown up i can know everything and criticize everyone just like you. Oh and yes you have not seen my car in the new Jay Z video you should check it out it is full of old POS's with blacked out head lights becouse that is the only place you will see that no one else in the world would do that...thanks

Nice progress! Ignore the haters. It's your car and should be modded to your liking.

Only half those pics were up earlier. I clicked expecting to see a vq swap and saw an s14 with black headlights. Goodluck with the swap, I've heard the wiring is intense for these.

i bought a box of 350Z bolts from Nissan unlimited in Houston 832-467-4400
they have an Ebay store they sell used late model Nissan and infiniti parts for a good price.. the box had Flywheel and bellhousing bolts that i needed and i paid less for 25ibs of bolts then nissan wanted for 8 new flywheel bolts
i got my Accel plug from em too

i have started the wiring i will do a wright up on it when i get done and the car starts

i am finally getting to the swap part of the swap

Nice build so far! Keep it up!

you might have the engine brackets flipped

I didn't have mckinney mounts, they didn't make them back then, and my shit sat perfectly thanks to Bardabe

Yeah I had seen you post on the dudes thread. i do beleave you are right, they test fit it on a S13 half cut then decided that it would fit a S14 as well. I am not that mad about it. It is call modifying some times you just have to mod. more than planned just wish that they would tell you these things and admit that the mounts dont fit the S14 as well.*

*S14 owners may have to mod. there firewall.....see how hard was that

good idea but it would push the engine back more with the mounts i have

like rik boellen i mod the firewall and the intake clears i had to bend the brake hard lines to rerount them. but i am back on track. i have every thing to make it start (i hope) so this weekend i hope to fire it up for the first time

Are u having hood clearance issues as well?

I do not know yet looks like i will tho as soon as i test fit the hood i will let you know

Looking awesome! I like the red and black theme you have with the engine. The smoked headlights looked awful with the original paing, but will look sick with your black cherry paint.

I had the same TB clearence issue on my firewall. nothing a hammer couldn't fix ;)

and sexcii, I did the revup swap. it was just as easy. the only thing I have noticed from the wiring stand point is the two additional sensors on the back of the heads. instead of two, there is now four.

yeah let us all know how they look and fit they may fit better then the ones i payed 500.00 for... you working on a S14 or S13?

S14... I'm also gonna be figuring out the wiring based on that one writeup and hopefully improving it for others. Also I'm hoping to flash ecu myself with Osiris. Was gonna do mounts myself and resell some, but 210 bucks ain't bad.

I'm thinking they are exact copies of mcminney.
