question..when you swap the qr25 with the vq35 does the stock 6 speed transmission work with the vq or do you need to swap it with the 5 speed as well?
@urge251980 Yep.. .040" will give you adequate clearance. There's haters everywhere.. I try not to let them bother me, but some of them are just plum fucking retarded! ;)
@deadbeat86 We used HR pistons in the DE block. I had to machine a few spots on the domes to clear the quench pads on the DE head. It wasn't much.. only .010", but without it, the pistons make contact with the heads after warming up and expanding a bit.
I mean really.. it's a FWD with 300hp. It's not a 1000whp FWD drag car, with a spool/welded diff. Does it look like I have an problem controling the car? Stop being some dramatic about something as stupid as how I hold the steering wheel!
@mace91192 lol.. Guess I'm a "pussy" then, since I seem to meet the qualifications, as per your definition of the word. Thanks for clearing that up.. I mean, here I was thinking that a "pussy" was someone that hid behind a keyboard and talked shit on YouTube.
@mace91192 Well, it's a good thing you're not the end-all, be-all authority on driving hand position, now isn't it? I usually hold the wheel at 12 and 5 or so.. I've done so for 15 years. Do I do it like that on purpose? No.. It's just however I grab the wheel in the car that I'm driving. Sometimes it's different. Stop making such a big deal about nothing.
@mace91192 Why the fuck do morons care about how I hold the steering wheel? Seriously, how many times are we going to go through this? I'm in my mid 30's, and have been building/driving very fast cars for a very long time. I'll hold the wheel however I want. Jesus..
Wait till you guys see the new engine that's going into this car.. 4 liters of big bore and stroked goodness, with ported HR heads, and C9 cams! Engine control will be with a full standalone (ProEFI), and it should make in the 360-370whp range on pump gas. :)
@thejeremiah Do we really have to go through this childishness again? Is it really that big of a deal? lol.. I've run some of the quickest/fastest times in a B15 chassis for 10 years. I really don't need someone telling me how to hold the fucking steering wheel. Jesus..
@thejeremiah If i could hold the steering wheel with my dick, i'd do it - just to add to the ORGASMIC FEELING OF PUTTING MY LEG DOWN ! Thumbs up if your heart revs out at 10000 RPM and if your blood is 115 octane!
i dont know what year you used for the 3.5 but one comes with 275 and the other 290 diffrent years i just dont know why they didnt offer this as a option and have you sigh a waiver form lol nce
@MrBry329 The engine that was use is the VQ35DE from 02-06 (and up to 08 in the maxima). It is a 255hp engine that uses DE heads. The 07+ Altima, and 09+ Maxima use the same DE block, but with VQ35HR cylinder heads, and higher compression pistons. The 09+ Maxima also has a few misc. changes to the block.. but, it's still a DE casting (meaning it doesn't have the taller deck of the HR block).
Because the RWD versions are significantly more expensive. You can pick up a 2002+ Sentra or 1995+ Maxima for next to nothing. In case you didn't notice, we're just starting The Greatest Depression. Good luck finding a 350z/G35 in decent shape for less than $10k.
Oh, and the 350z/G35 is a pig when it comes to weight. The G35 weighs up to 3600lb. My 1995 maxima is 2800lb. Spec V is 2700lb.
Oh, and since I live in AK, I can drive a FWD year round, 99% of the time.
Maybe not right at $10k but i got a 350z for 10.5k with 55k miles. Rebuilt title but it was good as new. Drove it for 40k miles and sold it bought a 400rwhp 300zx.
I hold it at the bottom, or, around 5 o clock, too.. TQ steer isn't THAT bad. ;) I'm 30 years old, and have been building/driving high HP FWD cars for over 10 years. This one at 300whp isn't that serious.
That is fu**en sweet I am the owner of an 04 Nissan Sentra SE R SPEC V and I dream about a VQ swap all the time funds are issue but i have so many questions for you is that the original transmission and does it bolt right up if it is... or did you have to modify it>?roughly what power gains did you get N/A then forced induction... some facts you may remember about installing it any problems you had would be appreciated if you post them its a beast man great job!!!!!
@CelicasForEver Similar, but, there are key differences between the FWD and RWD engines. Engine mounts bosses, accessories, intake manifold are all different. This pretty much makes it impossible to use the RWD motor in the FWD chassis.
@Trav4011 the sad thing is that you hardly ever see people put this amount work into the RWD engine. so much more potential to be had out of the z33/v35 in na form but people would rather just boost em..
@lotteman I wish I could get someone with Z chassis to let me go balistic under the hood. We have the parts/know-how to make 400hp N/A on pump gas. That would be fun in a slightly lightened up Z chassis.
@CelicasForEver: the VQ was originally in the 95 nissan maxima. It was the VQ30DE. It was all aluminum, and put down 190hp- which was alot at the time. The VQ was also used in the Xterra. They kept the same engine until 2000 when it was up to 220hp, and changed to the VQ30DE-K. They added a MEVI intake manifold, which allowed the car to get more power and tourque at the top end, rather than mid range. Then the VQ35, and now the VQ37. Its now used in the Altima, Maxima, 350/70Z, and the G35/7.

The Xterra didn't get the VQ until 2004 or 2005, IIRC. Before then, it was the VE33 motor. The US VQ NEVER had the MEVI. MEVI=Middle East Variable Intake. The 2000+ had a different and better intake than the MEVI.
@fubecabr It's up for debate, because it varies depending on the head and cam selection, and what the engine is set up for. But, stock for stock, sure.. the 00VI usually wins out.

@Trav4011 My mechanic friend built a sleeper..92 Honda Civic dx.put a b18gsr vtec from a Teg..now he said it was high compression...cause when we went out on the freeway and a bike cut us off..he said..that you want me to catch up..so here we are ting was loud as fuck..but we caught up with him..we reach 120mph..cause the needle wouldnt go more..but I remember the dude on the bike..the bike was making a skippin noise..he said that it does that when the rpm exceeds..high compression was the dx.
Question, is the maxima motor the same as the 350z motor? If so, if the altima's 2.5 can drop into a Sentra, and a Maximas 3.5 drops into the altima, why can't the Maxima's motor drop directly into the Sentra, even using the maxima's motor mounts? I know nothing about imports, I'm a Stangbanger.... but I use my 05' 1.8 Sentra as my hoopty, back & forth the work. figured I'd like some kick out of it. :-)
@BigHeadAQ the problem is the engine bay is smaller in the sentra and it's not the same mounting points but any vq35 can be modified to fit the sentra depending on your wrenching skills or cash.
@BigHeadAQ plus the altima and maxima are built on the same chassis just different sheet metal, when i say chassis i mean code all cars are unibody so no actual chassis but you get my drift.
@countyranger411 the spec-v comes with the same 6 speed in the altima ser, maxima, and 350/g35 gotta love nissan for keeping things simple makes it easier for the true car guys to have some fun : )
Err... no. Different shafts, different ratios, different gear tooth profile widths... COMPLETELY different gearboxes. Since I know the japanese company (AISIN) who make the FWD gearbox, I can assure you they are different.
@iamhappy46 ok then you seem to know your stuff so when i was talking to the nissan tech i know about the engine tranny combo and he said the just took the qr from the altima and the 6 speed from the altima ser with the mods to make it fit and work with the qr i guess he's wrong any way please tell me what the gear ratios are in the altima ser and the maxima i'd like to see the difference, it makes sense though since the power bands are different between the two engines.
I was refering to the part where you said the G35 and 350Z had the same gearbox as the Maxima/Altima/Sentra.
The Sentra/Altima and Maxima have the same FWD gearbox, still slightly diff ratios depending on exact model and year etc. They can have parts interchanged though.
My Pulsar is FWD and the old motor is currently in retirement, my car is basically a B13 Sentra but I have since completed a few VQ35 swaps into the N14 Pulsar shell, with my N14 Pulsar now having a built VQ35.
@iamhappy46 holy shit that must pull, how's the torque steer pretty wild i'm guessing, i would love to build an old b13 even with just an sr, love the old school shape reminds me of the 510, if i had the cash i would love to have the chassis converted to rwd then it would be a real tribute to the old datsun.
@iamhappy46 but like i said different shafts and gear tooth widths have to do with the actual difference in size the don't have any effect on the performance of the tranny the gear ratios are what is important, the smaller motor the smaller you want to make everything if for nothing else than to decrease parasitic loss no need to spin extra weight if not needed but you don't want to shave to much off to the point where it wont handle the power, then you start chewing the teeth off gears or worse
@iamhappy46 by the way nice sr swap is it gti-r i love them biggest sleeper around in my opinion, there's a guy around my town putting down 300 to the wheels with no prob he loves to stomp on the sti's and evo's running around so bad ass.
@prodriver1 I didn't plan on it.. The Quaife HLSD seems to work just fine for most of these guys. The thought of IRS in the rear is appealing, though.. :)
Car is getting a freshen up this fall (2 years old), and will recieve a 4 liter, big bore bottom end, further ported heads than what's on the block, now, bigger C9 cams, and a dash of N2O. :)
It can be.. depending on how it's done. The way that my company installs it, the harness is 100% plug and play, and we can get emissions to work as well.
GREAT SWAP MY FRIEND!! I OWN A SPEC V ALSO!! just a removed rev limiter full 3inch exhaust after cat and removed resonator and nissan stock airfilter..i love it the way it is but i want to turbo it.
that car looks fucking nutso man. holy christ. i drive an se-r with the qr and its quick but that must be fast as shit. how much something like that cost?
thanks. I've done a few swaps already on my own but with 240's and chevy motors. I'd like to try this one on my own. I love the satisfaction of doing the job yourself. I'm sure you know what I mean.. thanks again.
Nice engine son, but it does matter where you put your hands when you're steering. I don't think I've ever seen shumi pullin a vin diesel in his F1 car. Try 9-3 man, or where its most comfortable.
@klexgs Maybe you can't see or weren't paying attention, but he's holding the steering wheel with both hands. And yeah, FWD cars are very tail happy....
Thank you, driving instructor.. I always hold the wheel with both hands.. However, I have to shift, which requires me to remove one hand. It does not matter where you hold the wheel, contrary to what you were taught in driver's ed.
I'm pricing a swap in my 4th gen max... it's a 5speed, and i want to keep the 5speed but swap my 3.0vq for the 3.5... Send me a pm if you have a pricing chart... - or i'll go to the site to.. (also would like to boost)
I own RWD vehicles, personally, but I have built close to 40 of these in the past few years.. and I never get tired of driving them! It's like driving a 4 door go-kart, that gets 26mpg when you take it easy.

I know nothing about imports, I'm a Stangbanger.... but I use my 05' 1.8 Sentra as my hoopty, back & forth the work. figured I'd like some kick out of it. :-)

@BigHeadAQ the problem is the engine bay is smaller in the sentra and it's not the same mounting points but any vq35 can be modified to fit the sentra depending on your wrenching skills or cash.
specvjosh50 1 year ago
@BigHeadAQ plus the altima and maxima are built on the same chassis just different sheet metal, when i say chassis i mean code all cars are unibody so no actual chassis but you get my drift.

hey did u use the stock 4cyl 6 speed transmission on this? im lookin into doin this same swap cant find any info on trannys
countyranger411 1 year ago
@countyranger411 the spec-v comes with the same 6 speed in the altima ser, maxima, and 350/g35 gotta love nissan for keeping things simple makes it easier for the true car guys to have some fun : )
specvjosh50 1 year ago
@specvjosh50
Err... 350/G35 is RWD. So its not really the same 6 speed.
iamhappy46 1 year ago
@iamhappy46 same internals different housing and mounting but same ratio's
specvjosh50 1 year ago
@specvjosh50
Err... no. Different shafts, different ratios, different gear tooth profile widths... COMPLETELY different gearboxes. Since I know the japanese company (AISIN) who make the FWD gearbox, I can assure you they are different.
iamhappy46 1 year ago
@iamhappy46 ok then you seem to know your stuff so when i was talking to the nissan tech i know about the engine tranny combo and he said the just took the qr from the altima and the 6 speed from the altima ser with the mods to make it fit and work with the qr i guess he's wrong any way please tell me what the gear ratios are in the altima ser and the maxima i'd like to see the difference, it makes sense though since the power bands are different between the two engines.
specvjosh50 1 year ago
@specvjosh50
I was refering to the part where you said the G35 and 350Z had the same gearbox as the Maxima/Altima/Sentra.
The Sentra/Altima and Maxima have the same FWD gearbox, still slightly diff ratios depending on exact model and year etc. They can have parts interchanged though.
My Pulsar is FWD and the old motor is currently in retirement, my car is basically a B13 Sentra but I have since completed a few VQ35 swaps into the N14 Pulsar shell, with my N14 Pulsar now having a built VQ35.
iamhappy46 1 year ago
@iamhappy46 holy shit that must pull, how's the torque steer pretty wild i'm guessing, i would love to build an old b13 even with just an sr, love the old school shape reminds me of the 510, if i had the cash i would love to have the chassis converted to rwd then it would be a real tribute to the old datsun.
specvjosh50 1 year ago
@iamhappy46 but like i said different shafts and gear tooth widths have to do with the actual difference in size the don't have any effect on the performance of the tranny the gear ratios are what is important, the smaller motor the smaller you want to make everything if for nothing else than to decrease parasitic loss no need to spin extra weight if not needed but you don't want to shave to much off to the point where it wont handle the power, then you start chewing the teeth off gears or worse
specvjosh50 1 year ago
@iamhappy46 by the way nice sr swap is it gti-r i love them biggest sleeper around in my opinion, there's a guy around my town putting down 300 to the wheels with no prob he loves to stomp on the sti's and evo's running around so bad ass.

Nice engine son, but it does matter where you put your hands when you're steering. I don't think I've ever seen shumi pullin a vin diesel in his F1 car. Try 9-3 man, or where its most comfortable.
