swap a DE into a 2006 body?
Hey guys. Crazy i know. My HR engine blew in my 2006 roadster, i’m swapping it with a spare DE just so i can get it running. I know it’s a back step, but i just need to know: what parts do i need to make this swap happen? I know there’s differences between the two, so what do I need to put the DE engine in the 2006? I have the ECM for both, just don’t know where to start.

Is this the same car that was crashed (and internally bent) in your other thread ( https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-...ter-crash.html ) that you were trying to salvage the engine to "put in another car"? Yet, this thread seems to say that you're trying to replace the supposed HR that you have in the ZR (despite bent frame) with a DE engine. Which is it??
Please get your stories straight for the benefit of those who can help you.
So let me see if I can clear something up here that is mighty confusing....

Part of my job here is to untangle the messes so that people can get their problems solved. It was not clear what you were trying to do.
So if you want to take whatever is said as "judgemental" then you are in the wrong place. That clear enough?

A facebook group was more help than y’all. Whatever. I figured out what I need to do.
So, what did you learn?
