as he stated above, that side in the pic faces the engine, the starter gears go on the transmission end. at first I was going to say there's supposed to be a notch for the orientation on the crank but I just remembered the VQ30's don't use a crank sensor on the flywheel or flexplate which is what the 3.5's use.
On this Vq30 there is No Notch. Dont forget to use the bolt spacer plate also. This only lines up one way on Crank. The bolt holes Appear evenly spaced, But they are Not.
