    Here she is - waiting for me to finish work.

     

     

     

    OMG this is almost exactly how mine will look whenever i get around to my conversion.

     

    Holy crap this just kicked me right in all the right motivational places to start ordering the last few pieces for that!

     

    Thank you sir!

    Well Kyle I have never owned a GM or any American vehicle besides a short stint in a Ford Exploder. I have always been a German car guy. We don't tend to swap out our engines nearly as much as American cars because we don't need to :)

    Haha, I see. Sorry if my post came across a bit too condescending. Was more poking fun than anything. It's just such a popular platform that I just figured everyone had heard of it. Lol

     

    This most likely means you don't spend as much time on YouTube as I tend to do. Which is a good thing!

    Really? I've heard the oppositie. I think I was watching some video of a guy who supercharged his R51 and they were saying the 40 is different to the 35. Dangit now I'm curious. I wonder if the bellhousing is the same, would make the transmission matting process WAY easier.

    Electrical problems I think

    Since you mention the dash not illuminating, and alarm it sounds like interior electrical gremlins. Have you had any work done I'm recent time? That might give you a place to start and see if you can find anything out of place or the tech might have bumped/ not secured properly.

     

    And any water leaks or anything (accident, fire, flooding, etc) recently like within the last year? If you can think of anything it will aid in locating the problem.

    R50 sat unused for 2-3 years

    What he said.

     

    Pump out old fuel, check and probably want to change the oil, check the coolant (eventually, not super crucial to make it start but I cant imagine it's in the best shape after so long).

     

    Check major electrical connections for corrosion, cleaning as needed. Past that, you would just be diagnosing as needed in the event it doesn't fire. If it ran when parked, I don't see why it wouldnt fire, (all dependant upon how it was stored).

    Yeah that's waaaaaay too much work lol. Funny thing how his story ended, parted it out and bought an S4!! :) so I can skip those steps, keep my Pathy and enjoy the V8 in my S4 :)

    I don't know how I missed these reply's. But I'm glad X posted Tyler's old thread. Yeah it is kinda say how it ended but he proved the VH45 would work and there are more than a few guys running that engine in their 240sx's and go drifting. Plus there are few people who make long tube headers that some how clear the engine bay of 240SX.

     

    And the engine bay of the 240 is tiny compared to the room we get in the pathy's, the only issue (as always) is the dumb steering shaft.

     

    It's totally doable.

    With regard to the v8 swap joke- What about a 4.0 swap from an r51 or Frontier? They make more power and there are supercharger kits available as well

     

    Sent from my nearly dead S6

    If one is going to go through all the effort of sourcing an engine, making an adapter plate, making engine mounts, wiring, custom cooling, etc, etc. You might as well just get the V8. You could source an LQ4 or LQ9 for probably around the same cost of the VQ40.

     

    Just my thoughts, some people swap certain engines because they just happened to have one lying around... Lol.

    Hub Centric Wheel Spacers

    I take it your having a wheel shake problem? If so, check your steering gear for any play. I had a shaky steering wheel even with the spacers. It wasnt until I replaced the wheel bearings, and all of the steering tie rods that it pretty much went away.
