List of members who have done the VQ35 Swap *Sign In*
It seems like there are quite a few people who have stepped up and completed the swap.
I was just curious to see how many have done this swap, so I thought it would be cool to start a list of members who have done the swap. (Similar to the Boosted members list).
Post if you have done the swap and I will update the first post with the current list as we go along.
Here is a list of information you should post (Feel Free to add other useful information):
If you can keep it in this format it may be useful for later sticky.

You might be on to something here.
For everyone that posts, please put the year of your car, transmission type, dyno results and/or track times, and any other pertinent information like aftermarket cams, aftermarket fuel pump, clutch used, intake/exhaust setup, engine management, etc. Don't forget to post up your charts or timeslips if you have them.
I'll make this a sticky after it has gained some steam. Great idea!

Poor idle, and due to no tuning, jagged power band.
Blown input shaft and 1st gear, but I believe failure occured from a bad set of bearings.

Year of Car (Optional: Fed or CA Spec): Fed spec 1995

Engine Modifications: aftermarket headers- full exhaust besides cat, CAI
Transmission Modifications: only a cooler
Dyno Numbers: n/a
Tuned (Yes / No): no
Track Times : none
Problems After Swap: My auto tranny slipped a good bit after the swap and it progressively got worse. 3 weeks later the slipping was rediculous and it would hardly move so i decided to swap for a 5 speed which is what i'm currently doing right now. WOT downshifts on a weak auto is death! Also idle problems on cold start (i have no iacv)

My car is a full swap from a 2004 I35 (yes it's an oddball year A33B) including the AT, cluster, NATS, the whole works is spliced into the original A32 body harness. I retained the A32 A/C, P/S etc. Runs great!!

It's in and running. Add me to the list.
97 Maxima SE, Fed Spec
5 Speed Manual-no trans mods
2002 Maxima Motor 67K Miles
Full 3.5 Oil Pan, spliced in CPS Sensor, StephenMax Cam Adapters--3.0 Timing Equip
Mods: Ebay Headers & Y-pipe, UDP, Aluminium FLywheel, Exedy Stage 2 Clutch, Converted Throttle Body, Aeromotive FPR--converted returnless fuel rail
Issues: I need to run some extra engine grounds, High Idle due to issues with my throttle body, very minor mystery oil leak.
I might be the first to swap in Ohio. Also, of note: I did the whole swap alone. No help removing engine ro even getting it out of my van from the junkyard. SO, it can be done.
