Default question concerning putting an engine in my car

Okay, i purchased a 350z pretty cheap, but it has no motor, no ignition, or ecu.

I'm buying a vq setup from a friend of mine and said i can have whatever i need to get it to run correctly in my car.

Now question is, what all do I need to get it to run? I hear you need a lot like th antenna stuff in the back aswell, slightly confused, this will be a track only car so if i unplug all that stuff what would happen?

Thanks for answering the questions! thankss

If you have to ask those kind of questions You shouldn't be trying to do what you are trying to do...

Lol yes i should, I've been told i need a bunch of different sensors and stuff from the interior for the engine to run propertly, and sense this is my first 350z, I just want to make sure to grab them all when i get the motor. Its not complicated?

@derek - thats what i originally thought that was all i needed.

Because is this true?

" In the 03+ Nissan line-up of vehicles the ECU must see this signal but so does the IPDM (Intelligent Power Distribution, Module), the BCM (Body Control Module), and the NATS control module. What this means is that if you want to run a Nissan VQ35DE engine into other type of car (like a 240SX or 240Z) you will need to have the ignition key, ignition switch, FM Antenna modulator, the NATS module, the IPDM, the BCM, the ECU, and all the wiring harnesses to each of these (almost every harness in the car) and they all have to be taken from the same donor car."
