VQ35DE Pricing

[jspec240]

I got a quote on a VQ35de from a crashed 350z with under 12K for eng wiring (http://zilvia.net/f/engine-tech/209125-vq35de-pricing.html#) harness (slapstick) and ecu for 800$ is this a good buy?? I looked around and have seen other setups go for more but they are the 6 speed ones and that is what Im going for. I just want to sell the harness and ecu to have money towards the 6 speed swap components.

Any input would be helpful.

Thanks in andvance

if you dont need it, why worry about it? That 800 bucks could go towards something you could actually use. I mean, in all honesty, the 350z's are still pretty new, there isnt much demand for wiring harnesses or ECU's yet. Especially in autos. I suppose you could slap it on Ebay... But i dont think you'd get too much out of it, because people on ebay bid low. Of course you never know. Some unlucky SOB with a fried ECU in his auto could be looking for one on Ebay.

I think you should save your 800 bucks, and wait til something useful comes along.

Well they arent so new any more. you might be right about the demand for the auto swap components but auctually parts are more expensive for the newer cars so I was thinking I could get more. I do need an eng and it only has 12k. and would probably spend just as much on an sr swap after all is final. but have a real new eng...I dont know,,, any other responses???

^^^^ i like the way your thinking. A brand new engine like you say with 12k what more can you want??! Who knows what kind of problems you can encounter with an SR motor thats been sitting for years

[Firestorm]

800 bucks for a VQ with 12k miles on it sounds like a bargain to me.

[GabeS14]

are you saying , that the entire engine and ecu and wiring for 800? thats a steal.. ill take it if you wont...
ohh yea I dont have the cash!!lol

[xpertsnowcarver]

sounds like he's only talking about the wiring harness and ecu. at least thats how i understand the first sentence.
800 is pretty steep.. 300 at most for a new harness. another 300 for the ecu.

[gregfarz78]

The vq engine, complete engine harness, ecu, and bcm? If the engine is included $800 is a steal, if its everything minus the engine $800 is a little high IMO can probably find one for $500-600

[SPiG]

If it is a fully dressed RWD 350Z VQ35 then it is a steal. I want.

[silviaguy240]

oh and unless your doing full standalone/painless wiring, your gonna need the harness and ecu, and dash harness. but 800 for engine isnt bad. i shoulda jumped on a deal i had, 1500 for a engine and 6spd trans with 18k out of a 04.

[SexPanda]

its not for the engine, its just the wiring harness.

the wiring harness, ecu for 800. No engine, no tranny, nothing.

I can read what he put down because I also have a backwards mind like the OP.

[jspec240]

Sorry I didnt clarify. It did say eng wiring harness. I for got the, :)

no I went to the shop and it is 800$ for the Eng/Eng Wiring Harness/and ECU

Im beginning to believe its a good deal so looks like Im gonna picker up :)

[GabeS14]

Duuuude, are you kidding me..!!!yesss its a great deal!
I think they usually go for like $3000 for the whole setup!
I remember calling up a company from here on zilvia who does swaps and they were charging like $4500 to swap in a VQ in my S14
take....It's yours!!!!:D

1. Rent a 350Z
2. Purchase insurance
3. Pull motor, tranny, wire harness, ECU and whatever else you want.
4. In the wee hours of the morning, ditch car in open field
5. Call police, report car stolen


Done.

yea...
one day you get pulled over, for speeding or racing.. engine comes up as a stolen part...you go to jail. and then its all good..you will have plenty of lovers in jail..yea.. it's worth it!

[gregfarz78]

$800 for the engine alone is a great deal you sure it doesnt have a hole in the block? lol

See if they have the dash harness and bcm you're gonna need that to make a swap much easier

[drftwerks]

hahaha whats fucked up is, that should be the price of sr swaps already.

[240srhatch]

i got my vq for sale ill sell the engine, 6spd trans and wiring harness for $1500 but no ecu included only 13k miles on it

[onehundredoctane]

priced a full G37 swap at $4000 a while back, car had less than 30,000 miles on it, but had pulled a face plant into a flat surface, maybe a wall? I'm rather picky about where I get my engines from though. But then again I'm not looking to do a swap anytime soon.
