ok guys, as most of you know i bought alans (djniknala, theking) car. a fully built darton sleeved, greddy tt, open dump tubes, arias 9 to 1 extreme duty pistons, ported heads, 1mm larger valves, JWT cams, etc etc etc.....

and as most of you know, i drive a 2800 pound daily driven 350Z that was in need of more power.

i decided a couple weeks ago to just swap the motors and last night i started the whole process. i was working by myself last night cause everyone was busy, i am just using hand tools and a cherry picker. i got alans motor out in about 4 and a half hours, all by myself and its my first VQ that i have ever pulled out. here are some pics, i will be pulling the Zs motor out on sat and will be putting in the built motor on sunday....

like to thank a few people (ZUL8R, Done12Many, Beddow) for helping out a bit, whether it be on the phone or actual help today. i will keep it updated, and here are some pics!!!


fun fun fun...

 

Sunday is gonna be FUN!!!

 

Just curious, you bought a G35 twin turbo built motor etc...is there anythin wrong with the G35?

 

DAMN, Good luck let me know when you take it to the track id like to see that

 

yeah it weighs 3600 pounds...

 

Looks like a ton of fun. No air tools? Gonna have some strong forearms when this is all said and done. Good Luck, only thing I can think off is the Greddy piping different from coupe to Z?

That motor looks familiar

 

Gotcha I guess my question shoulda been why buy the whole car when you could just buy a motor from a junk yard and do the work on that. Again I'm just curious. Congrats on making bold moves.

 

looks like fun!! i could not help but notice the hole drilled in the throttle plate, hahaha. glad to see when people trust what i say and drill holes in their motor parts, lol. must idle like glassssss.

 

Are you leaving the Z motor as is and throwing it in the G35? Selling any Z bolt ons???

 

well, i remember alan saying that you told him to do that, it idles pretty well, the cams make it shake a bit, but i love it!!


the reason i bought the car is this, my friend decided that he wanted to go into the army and go to flight school. i wanted to buy the car really bad but he wanted a lot for it cause he had A LOT invested. it got closer to time to leave and i offered him a fair amount and he took it. i dont believe in riding around in other peoples hooked up cars so i figured i would part it out, and keep the TT and motor, so far so good!!!

 

audiblemayhen, sounds like you helped a friend, helped yourself. Kinda like a heart transplant for your ride. Good look keep us informed looks like fun, let us know how many extra bolts you end up with hahahaha!

Got it now...congrats...looking forward to more updates.

 

Went to Jeremy's house today.. Going great on progress. That car is gonna be sick.

 

good luck looks good so far

 

thanks guys, i have to work all day today, but right when i get home its phase two!! hehehe


the TT motor was crammed in there, the stock motor looks like a 4 cylinder in there without all the extra turbo parts on it. it will come out much easier, i am thinking 4 hours, start to outta the car hopefully with some help this time. its funny how people always are "busy" when you get into this kinda stuff.... thanks though matt and see ya sunday...

 

Nice work so far. I can only imagine what you will be running in your light a$$ Z with that beast a$$ motor in it...good luck on everything and take many pics, I love seeing stuff like this.

 

youll have a beast,good luck.btw you gonna use nitrous also.

 

thanks guys, not sure about the nitrous, i dont think i am going to have traction in the first place. i am thinking about throwing a mustang cobra rear end on it so i can still use rims with the same bolt pattern, i need to get some measurements here really soon...

 

now thats what im interested in seeing happen.... let me know how that goes....so many gear choices if you can make it work!
