Hey guys, so I was thinking about buying a 2003 350z touring edition from this guy around here that i found on craigslist

i need some help tried googling but to no avail

the seller had his engine swapped with a 2005 rev up motor, so instead of having the VQ35DE he has the VQ35DE-R, i looked up the specs and obviously the only things that change are:

Rev Limit
VQ35DE: 6600rpm
VQ35DER: 7000rpm
VQ35HR: 7500rpm

Horsepower
VQ35DE: 287 hp @ 6,200 rpm
VQ35DER: 300 hp @ 6,400 rpm

Torque
VQ35DE: 274 lb-ft @ 4,800 rpm
VQ35DER: 260 lb-ft @ 4,800 rpm

(CVTCS) Continuously Variable Timing Control System
VQ35DE: Intake valves only
VQ35DER: Intake and Exhaust valves (electronic variable valve timing on exhaust side)

the question that i want the answer to is will the vq35de-r give me any problems due to the fact the the rest of the 350z is a 2003 touring that has a vq35de stock? the front cam sensors in the 350z im looking at are disconnected so does them being unplugged men that the engine is running at normal timing?

 

bump please, any help would be appreciated

 

Also I forgot to mention that the engine is that of a Manual Transmission but the car im looking at is an automatic is that by itself bad already?

 

Is this car some great deal that you are even considering it?

Pass.
