[VQ35 --> 240Z swap needs list]

Hi Astro...    I am keeping NATS to make it harder to steal the car.  Nats is the antenna ring around the key slot, and the BCU and ECU all run through the dash harness (body harnesss #1)  along with the A-Amp that runs the tach gauges etc.   I'm swapping in the 350z steering column, and it's mostly bolt in with a bracket under the dash and a spare steering Ujoint.  (gives me the 350z/G35 steering wheel too with the cruise buttons.)  Nats is no big deal if you have the original BCU and ECU from the donor car. (or a paired set)  you can get a new key programmed from the original Vin# of the donor too. 

 

I hope to get mine running this summer, now that my daughter is older. I had pulled everything to go for paint, but I've been tempted to just get it going then paint later. I drove my buddie's 240z last week, now I'm jones'n for an S30 fix...

 

Let me know what questions you have.

Hey Pharaoh,

I just got my hands on a salvage 2008 350z for $500. Engine is an unknown on running condition.

 

I would like to swap it into my 1973 240z and what I'm getting from this thread is that I ABSOLUTELY NEED the engine, transmission, driveshaft, the O2 Sensors, the BCM, the IPDM, the engine and dash harness as well as the ECU and the FM antenna and the ignition with the key.

Is that correct?

If you don't mind my asking, why the FM antenna?

[To be Nismo, or not to be.]

Hello everyone,

 

I recented purchased a 2008 Nissan 350z from a salvage yard for $500. Not yet to know if running. I plan to swap the heart into my 1973 240z in do time. But for now, I have a few questions.

 

The 350z has a few Nismo parts such as the muffler, the shift boot trim and the red plastic trim that covers the plenum. It doesn't have the exaggerated wing or the sexy front lip.

 

My question is, is this a Nismo or a wannabe?

[VQ37HR into a 240z; Questions.]

So I have recently purchased just the motor from a 2010 G37x and I was thinking of swapping it into my '73 240z.

 

My questions are;

 

What's the difference between the G37x motor and the RWD motor?

 

Would I be able to bolt up the 6MT to the motor?

 

Please let me know, I plan to start this project summer of this year. I will create another thread on the build if this is feasible.

 

Thank you all in advance.

[Using OEM gauges]

I just purchased a running '93 Infiniti Q45 for $500 this past weekend and I am looking to swap the engine into my '73 240z. Is there any way that I could use the OEM 240z gauges with the VH45DE motor?
