Default 350z Engine swap

alright so i have an 04 z that’s knocking like a door. i’m pulling it this week, picking up a used de out of a g35 sedan. i know i have to change the oil sending unit. i am wondering if the 4th digit of the vin matters? do they have to be the same letter for my ecu to work? i wouldn’t really understand exactly why the digit on the engine can’t be different, they’re the exact same engine?

my 4th digit of vin: A

check to make sure you’ve got a manual pilot bushing in it and that should be about it. As long as they’re both DE non rev ups you should be fine.

You're still new here which, although irrelevant due to it being common sense, leads me to say this: you may want to respect the older members.

Posting stupid remarks like the first quote will do nothing but guarantee that you continue receiving "hate and people being negative".

I've learned through the years that individuals who respond the way you did to Travlee simply stating that you had not updated on your other "project" KNOW that others realize they were originally BSing.

Prove us wrong and update within 8 days.
