My mechanic got it done. It was an actual JDM motor which was told was less than 55k miles but as we were removing parts off of it, i noticed that the oil filter had 166k written on it with a sharpie, SMH. i didnt expect them to be honest about the miles without the vin number. i requested the vin, but they couldnt get it since it was from Japan. oh well. all the accessories were reversed, so i went to my local junkyard and pulled the accessories and brackets from a USDM xterra which costs close to $500 without the a/c compressor. This $1400 project vehicle costs me more than i expected. everything bolted right into the engine bay, i even kept the vg33 intake and just rewired the injector harness. i wasnt able to swap in the vg30 cams cause i didnt want my mechanic to get in there and cost him more headache and me more money. i will keep it though for another time if any case i had to get in there. I also replaced the exhaust after the CAT and put in a Super 10 flowmaster. i may have to replace the CAT cause its still causing a bit of smoke from oil coming from the vg30. Next project is to find parts and guidence to add the vg33 supercharger

I ordered a vg33e and specifically asked for a non-pathy motor. But guess what? Got a patchy motor and my mechanic accepted it. So ran into an issue here. The accessories are in different locations and opposite sides of my vg30. I was told just to put the vg30 accessories on the vg33, but where the alternator is supposed to go is there the oil filter housing is at and had to move it. Do I need a block off plate or relocation adapter? On the opposite side of the motor, there’s an area another oil filter housing that’s blocked off by a plate. What are my options at this point?

I have the same problem too. Bought a new switch and still now working. My power door locks went out too

I recently purchased a beat up 92. Everything worked fine driving it from SD to Orange County. Once inshut the engine off and tried to start it up the next morning, I had to shake the steering wheel height lever up and down to get it to crank and start. Thought it was funny. Any idea what I may need to replace? Besides that issue, I also noticed that the fuel gauge needle started to jump around and down to empty real quick when it got to 1/4 tank. I kind regreted buying this one and should've shopped around, but I got a good deal on it. Other issues so far was , knock sensor, replace the fuel injectors and belts, scrub the @!*% out of the interior and replacing the door handle.

This is the nice stance on the wd21. Definitely gonna research the setup
