s13 vq35hr s13 build new video
well here we go... All of my previous 240's have been N/A ka's or ka-t, well i had a slight change of mind! this is going to be my last 240sx that i own! so i'm going all out.. well i'm going to try and go all out... so i came across a complete '08 vq35hr drive train, ecu and harness.. i got in touch with a local shop (ONE MOTION), who have done a few vq35de swaps. this is the build!

The car i started off with!



the ka that went by by!



Vq35hr drive-train



Vq35hr in! but there is a slight problem.... its crooked and the starter is sitting on the rack...



now there were a few remedies that we could of done...one raised the engine up! but then i would need a ridiculous cowl hood! two clock the rack, but the column would have a drastic bend, that would most likely bind. 3 RHD swap... now i know allot of you are going to say that there has to be a cheaper or less drastic remedy! McKinney says add a 3/4" spacer between the D/S mount and the block, but the motor then sits even worse. so a friend gave me a great deal on a complete rhd clip. In my eyes this was the best way to get it done...

Vq back out



gutted fire wall



rhd clip




Someone stole my firewall!




new firewall in place



column bracket in place



rack in!



more to come later!

I think you'll love the vq, especially the hr. It'll put just shy of 300rwhp down typically in s13's, with intake cones and cat back. I love mine just a de though. I've seen some other guys do some odd ball starter spacing/machining to fit the starter. I probably would of spaced it also, I run a 1" hood spacer setup on mine and it's really not that bad imo. Lots of work to fit a starter haha. Good luck with your build.

Oh yeah, one of the other things we did on early LS1 swaps was lower the crossmember with shims, then you could shim the engine up and clear the starter.

Wait, wouldn't it have been cheaper to get a DE or REV-UP?

the rhd conversion will be sick, if you can afford it (which you obviously can) I would have done it even if you didnt have to.

I love vq's, good luck with the build, im following this one

Are you going to wrap the passenger side header? looks really close to the fuel lines.
