Hey guys! so here it is, i finally started my 2JZ swap in my 06 350z!

Im taking my current APS single turbo (GTM upgrade kit) VQ out and going a little bit of a different route then i have been seeing everyone else do....for many different reasons...but mainly because you just dont see it and i want to be unique...

I was origionally going to do this swap myself but after further research in the Tech 2 kits, i wasn’t very impressed...sooooo i was contacted by a company in New Jersey that specializes in this type of swap and they deff caught my eye! after i went down and checked out the shop, met with the owner and went over my plans for my build, Tony at Shifted Performance gave me a deal that i couldn’t beat. (for those interested in the shop or maybe getting more info, you can shoot me a PM or just add them on Facebook)

so a year later once i was ready for the build, i took my Z down to Tony and handed him the money needed to start the build and thats where we are today, 1 week in and i already have a motor, trans, bellhousing, turbo,wastgate, BOV, all new gaskets, pullys, belts, head studs, clips for the wiring harness, fittings, paint, sent parts off to be chromed, and have started pulling all my current setup out (im sure im missing some stuff as well but ill catch it further on in this thread as the build goes on)

Wow really weird... I'm pretty sure right before I clicked this thread I was watching youtube vids of your car. maybe not but i'm almost positive..

anyways, subbed for sure!

hahaha, you may have! there are a few on there that i have to say I DID NOT POST haha....except for the 60-150mph run haha i did post that one

This is the video I watched... Now that I watch it again, i noticed you don't have a CF hood.. so nvm, but if you had a CF hood.. you guys' cars would look identical.

Awesome bro, you were telling me about this at CNC... Cant wait to see it!

that is my car hahaha....but the video was way labled wrong hahaha obviously...haha...wasnt even close to a launch hahaha!

haha i knew it! soooo no more CF hood? or are those old old pics?

yeaaa...it clashed with the car...well kinda like how the wheels do hahaha...and thats why they are also coming off haha

honestly I liked it. but haha anyways sick car and good luck on your build! you still have the hood, wanna sell??

sold the hood, but the wheels are for sale...haha

Damn!!! That's going to be unique! when do you estimate the completion date to be?

looks like it should be done around the end of the month!!! all depends on money!

Cool swap. Cant wait to see the final results!

Damn thats awesome, prolly more rare than a LS swap.
Did you buy the motor locally or from a JDM vendor. And if you don't mind me asking which JDM vendor....?

Tony at Shifted has a vendor he sources his motors from...its nice because he gets to hand pick what motor he wants and does a compression check on the spot...
