keep the updates coming!!!

Thanks guys! I was looking really hard for a VQ37HR but when the Z popped up, I had to grab it. I'm torn between selling the Nismo #120 center console badge, which apparently would go for a pretty penny to the right poser , or doing something like "Powered by" above the plate somewhere on the dash of the S13. Not sure yet. Any suggestions?

good luck with the VQ swap. i'm nearing completion of my vqde swap.

Very nice Sir! I'm working on a drawing to give to a machinist friend of mine that will work on a bracket. If we end up with something cost effective I'll definitely post on here. I'm leaning towards an aluminum threaded bracket that offsets the caliper mount holes towards the front of the car, but I'll know more once I give him a visit.

G35X are AWD right? Niiice. VQ35 are nice but it would be killer to migrate that drivetrain setup to the S Chassis...

Probably not the best solution as far as retaining suspension geometry and such, but it works.

Probably not, but I'm thinking that clocking the rack will be fine. I'll know more once I try to mount up the steering column and size up my options.

I went with the shifter bracket that Austin Hoke sells on his site. I was going to just shorten the factory bracket but I kept running into roadblocks trying to find someone to let me use their TIG setup. My brother enjoys welding on the project since it's completely different than the commercial work he does, but sadly doesn't have his own machine. This needs to change in the near future, LOL!

Thanks man! I've been lucky to have a lot of friends with an interest in what I'm doing and the downtime to come help, but yes, I need to take it easy.
