Does anyone know of a vq37vhr mount kit for a 240sx. I got a full motor swap from a rear ended nismo edition 370z(thats right the 350hp version) and am looking for a suitable install kit, and maybe a link to a install guide. I can't seem to find anything.

idk..
but i definitely vote you try and keep that auto rev match feature

Marcus

People will bow to you if you pull that off.

Please have a good, solid chassis to start with.

xxjohns14xx

if you could get your hands on the whole 370 put the ENTIRE 370 harness in it and you will need the 370 pedal because its electronic

Davetheslave

I will definatly do everything I can to keep every feature. I have a mint black 96 zenki shell I bought to swap. I will defiantly post a sweet detailed build thread once it's in motion.

xxjohns14xx

thanks i will be waiting

sexcii-zenki

niiiiice i def wana c this good luck

I would imagine that the VQ35 mount kit would be the same, but don't quote me on that.

I read some where they were different but most of the stuff on the net is speculation :-(

i dunno where spring hill is but if ur close ill def let u try my mount kit its a mckinney n i know it fits the de and hr motors so hey u never know...

Davetheslave

It's in Florida in hernando county. Pretty far from you. Thanks though.

sexcii-zenki

hey i tried if not hiot up zfever im pretty sure they will know if it fits or if they can fab u up a kit

Davetheslave

They are like 30 minutes from me. Id rather do it myself but I'm limited with aftermarket support so that may be the route I have to go. I know Martin and his guys do amazing work.

The starter location will interfere when using the normal VQ35 swap kits. The swap can be done... pretty similar to the VQ35 swap with the slight differences such as a "must keep" drive by wire setup, Starter interference, Wiring, etc.

have fun trying to fit the humungous timing solenoid against the fire wall....
but anything is possible with enough time and money

Davetheslave

Looks like it's back to the junk yard to get the gas pedal with throttle cables and I'll have to do quite a bit of firewall bashing to clear the starter. I read somewhere there maybe interference with the steering as well. I might have zfever tackle the wiring. I emailed wiring specialties and they don't offer this service yet.

Davetheslave

Bad news. They had the pedal but the throttle cables are cut

fckillerbee

^haha...umm....yeah.

that picture is dope! Why don't you just have a fab shop put it all together/ Make the mounts, and then have a wiring dude do it...like mr jeffe jordan.

Glad I saw this thread. I'm sure I would have ditched the throttle pedal in my haste to regain space once I pick up my motor.

Davetheslave

Because doing it yourself is more rewarding and costs a lot less.

Shift n Drift

a WHOLE LOT less

atutt

Throttle cable?
I thought it was DBW?

Tantwoforty

maybe he means throttle wires?
if you make this happen, im in for build thread

ZenkiCam

You said the throttle wires were cut... that doesn't matter... get each end and you can use your own wire in between.. don't let that stop you. Nothing a little splicing soldering and heat shrinking can't fix

Davetheslave

I meant the wires sorry

nd240sx3

not to sound like i know everything... just trying to help u out! but u sound like u have no clue what so ever about what u are getting yourself into...i am actually finishing up my vq35hr build! http://zilvia.net/f/chat/397304-vq35hr-s13-build.html
i know u are doing the 37vhr but they are very similar and the starter is not even close to the firewall so u don't have to bash it in for that.... that big thing on the back of the engine, which will be in ur way is the VEL-assembly actuator ...the starter will actually sit on the steering rack.... its a pain in the ass... i have gone thru this.. if u read my build thread u will see i went and did RHD conversion because i didn't want to mess with modifying the sub frame or lowering the sub frame like the ls1 guys did in the beginning....for suspension geometry reasons. but i later heard (not sure if its true or if it will work on the 37) but i was told that to relocate the starter on an hr to the opposite side like the de u can swap the mid and sub oil pans from the hr to the de... but i also don't know if the hr or de trans is used...also i went with the factory ecu flashed with UPREV that removes BCM and NATS system... and u can keep the DBW setup which is what i am doing, the 350z pedal actually bolts right up to the s13 stock location, but u have to bend the pedal up a lil from hitting the floor... just my 2 cents...

conrad_s13.5

custom mounts will need to be made to answer ur question.

...any local fabricators in ur area should be able to pull something off

Please put up the whole build if you pull it off I've been thinking about doing this for about a month now and was thinking about how sweet it would be

onehundredoctane

I was just throwing around the idea a while back about doing an VQ35HR swap into an S14, but you basically need an entire 350z to pick all the parts from. Good luck! I'm anxious to see this done.

Sideways_Saturdays

saw nd240sx3's build in stages in person...its doable, but break out the tylenol early...i also heard tell from him about a custom linkage for the starter, like a remote mount setup...but it was all custom 1off...food for thought...good luck with this. Also are you trying to keep the nismo diff?
