Nissan 350z engine/trans
I found a salvaged 06 nissan 350z that runs and drives for $1,500. It was in a collision that damaged the rear of the car so I think the engine would
be very useful.
Has anyone used the VQ35DE engine with it's transmission mate in a locost? It would be substantial at 300hp & 260 ft/lbs and cheap to boot,
plus LOTS of room for improvement.
I'm not scared!!! I'm just marking my territory.

And it's RWD so the gearbox isn't a problem!! Nice!! Very nice. Wonder if you could use the diff as well....

Nab it mate, you can always alter the chassis to fit the parts!
Not sure what size the engine is but a +442 should fit it since it can fit V8's.
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

be careful the ECU hasn't shutdown and locked the engine ina default mode from the crash.
also be careful as the 350 engines are neaerer to 270bhp on japanese fuel in america this could be lower.
you'll also find the gearbox is deceptivley large and may put the gearstick in an awkward place.

For that money id say make it fit. Got to be worth it. No idea about ECU but that has never stopped a locoster before. I wonder if anyone on the
internet has ever transplanted to other cars and fitted OMEX etc ECU's (as they do with S2000 installs). i dare say OMEX would be able to
answer.
What a shame you may only see 250hp. How bad is that for the money Pobs very easily tuneable too.
