Hey AJ!
Long time no see! I totally forgot that you still had your Z! I'll send you a text this afternoon homie. I haven't made a thread over here yet, but def feel free to come through to check out the project
. Maybe when you get back Brennan will be back in town and we can check his out too.
Do you all still meet up with the motor sport connect guys in Dayton? I don't mind coming through that way, we can catch up on life.
Let me know dude!

Hey guys I am still here just havent touched the car in awhile. Main priority lately has been working on my house. Its my first house and the old woman that use to live in the place hadnt updated it at all for like the past 12 years. So right now I am just fixing the things that I cant deal with that either bug me visually or functionally. Like installing light fixtures in all the bedrooms (everything is ran off an outlet controlled by a switch) I replaced all the 2 prong outlets in the house with three prong outlets, installed satellite tv, installed a dishwasher (cause there was no dishwasher), replaced the shower head with a new taller one so my tall *** can get under it, fixed the toilet that had a slow leak on the water line. On top of all that I have been trying to get the yard back in order, weeds suck! Lastly ill be running the wires for my surround sound this weekend so I should be ready to get back on the car. Dont worry updates will come soon.

I so know your pain. I bought my house last summer and my S13 has taken a back seat to new windows and a roof.

I want more pages too. Imagine finishing the thread months and months ago and not having any substantial update since. It's like watching half of a really really good movie. 
OP - Good luck on the house and getting the build squared away when you have the time available.

::Sigh:: Damn you for making me join just to post...
I'd really like to see how this turns out. I was intent on doing the same thing(well just the swap not the whole shebang), and I contacted the people at vqswap before. The crossmember I recieved definitely wasn't fitting right and I had the same problem as you with the shift linkage being off. I was doing some net crawling and came up on this : http://www.mckinneymotorsports.com/prod_VQ-240sx+swap
They's got the mounting kit for s13s and s14's for $450 right now(it goes up to $525 soon they say). I emailed them asking if the crossmember had to be notched(I didn't believe the advertising) and they said their mounts connect directly to the KA mounting points for the engine and tranny. I thought to myself about the height of the motor then... and sent them an email. Here's the results.
Hello I'm David,
I wanted to know if my crossmember for my S14 would have to be notched or modified with your engine mountings. Also what is the hood clearance like? Would you ever try to make a shifter relocation bracket? Those are the more immediate questions I have, but I would also like to know when would the exhaust y-pipe and the headers be available for purchase?
Thank you for making these products. I had a bad run in with the people at vqswap.com. They are nice people more or less but their products would need to be modified to make any VQ swap work.
Their reply
You do not have to mod the engine crossmember… We have a shifter relocation bracket , but sold out right now…
As you can see they didn't answer all my questions -_-
But I'm still interesting anyways! Perhaps I'll do it up nice like Sinister if my pockets run deep enough
Later! And update this thread please!
